Obsessed With Film

Posted by Matt Holmes

We are only around six months away from seeing the hotly anticipated new film from the Coen Brothers, yes that’s right those two cinematic geniuses who gave us the incredibly intense No Country for Old Men at the back end of last year.

The movie is Burn After Reading - a dark comedy which reunites them with George Clooney who himself is reunited with both Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) and Brad Pitt (Ocean’s Movies). John Malkovich and Frances McDormand co-star in the tale of C.I.A. conspiracy and revenge.

The plot goes something like this. Malkovich is a former CIA agent whose soon to be divorced wife Tilda Swinton steals a CD of his memoirs revealing some top secret… secrets. Pitt and McDormand are two Gym Employee’s who attempt to steal the CD which lead the C.I.A. to send George Clooney to clean up the mess - and if these pics are anything to go by he sleeps with Swinton for good measure!

Fun is the order of the day for the Coens on this one - a genre which I’ve never find them all that interesting in actually. Love the cast though and after No Country For Old Men - I can see why some comic relief is what they went for!

Look for it in early September.
