Simply put, the Coen Brothers know how to do variety. After doing the sprawling epic that was
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, they have moved onto the much lighter
BURN AFTER READING. The Coens have also proven time and again that they know how to put together a fantastic cast. The film stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand.
It involves a CIA agent (Malkovich) who loses his memoirs at the gym, which are then discovered by a loose-living gym trainer (Pitt). The trainer decides to blackmail the agent or else he will reveal the secrets in the memoirs, causing a chain reaction where an assassin (Clooney) is hired to clean up the situation. Here is the first pic, provided by

BURN AFTER READING is due sometime in 2008.
