After the jump I’ve got the red-band trailer for Burn After Reading, the new Coen brothers movie starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, JK Simmons, and Frances McDormand.  It opens September 12th, so plan your stay in rehab accordingly.

It appears to be a Lebowski-esque story of lost CIA files with Brad Pitt in the main role, except this time The Dude is a hyperactive personal trainer rather than an aging stoner. 

I’ve got a pretty big nerd boner for this already, but does anyone else wonder about how the workload between the Coen Brothers actually breaks down?  It’s easy just to say “The Coen Brothers” but are we talking perfect equality like Tomax and Xamot here or is it more like Jimmy and Billy Carter, where one brother’s hard at working brewing beer and the other just sits on his ass all day being president.
