Burn After Reading Movie Poster and Theatrical Trailer

While I don’t really know all that much about Burn After Reading, after watching the movie’s red band trailer I’m really excited to see this soon to be released Coen brothers comedy. Oscar winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen have assembled an all-star cast including George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Brad Pitt for their latest screwball comedy, and so far it looks to be a worthy follow up to last year’s critically acclaimed film (and winner of the Oscar for Best Picture) No Country For Old Men.


Considering how solemn and dark No Country was, it’s nice to see the Coen Brothers return to their quirky comedic style. If you want to read more about the movie’s plot, check out its Wikipedia page here for the lowdown. As I’ve said before, I’m a huge Coen brothers fan, so I may be a tad biased on how good Burn After Reading looks. Regardless, check out the trailer below and judge for yourself just how good it looks. Burn After Reading is set to hit theaters on September 12, 2008.
