Burn After Reading International Teaser Trailer
Focus Features have released an international teaser trailer for The Coen Brothers’ Burn After Reading on MSN. This is a perfect example of a fast cut, no nonsense teaser trailer which gets it right. And you have to love Brad Pitt’s “Appearances can be Deceptive” line. Classic. And why isn’t JK Simmons getting a topline credit? He’s all over the trailers. Tell me what you think in the comments below!
Official Plot Synopsis: A dark spy-comedy from Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen. An ousted CIA official’s (Academy Award nominee John Malkovich) memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees intent on exploiting their find.
Burn After Reading hits theaters on September 12th 2008.
Burn After Reading Poster Inspired by Saul Bass
The movie poster for Coen Brothers’s Burn After Reading is one of my favorite posters released this year. The distinctive style is a call back to the one-sheets of legendary poster/title artist Saul Bass. I have included some of the great Bass posters which might have inspired this new design below.

Written and directed by The Coen Brothers, this new dark-spy comedy stars Academy Award nominee John Malkovich as an ousted CIA official, whose memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) intent on exploiting their find. Also featuring George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Richard Jenkins. If you haven’t already, you should watch the red band movie trailer.

Cate Blanchett’s Modern Master Tribute
Cate Blanchett’s Modern Master Tribute
Awards season in in full swing, and one of the busiest ladies in Hollywood is none other than Academy Award nominee Cate Blanchett.
The Babel actress, who is currently pregnant with her third child, received the Modern Master Tribute last night during the Santa Barbara Film Festival held at the Arlington Theater.
As previously reported by , Blanchett has also been nominated for two Oscars for playing Elizabeth I in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and in the supporting category for her gender-bending portrayal of music legend Bob Dylan in I’m Not There.
The dual nomination puts her in an elite group, as it’s only the 11th time in the Academy’s history that an actor or actress has been nominated in the leading and supporting categories in the same year. No one has won both, so far.
