OK, now this is a movie trailer! The Coen Bros. latest venture, Burn After Reading, now has a red-band trailer (which in this case means they're using some NSFW language) and it is funny-goofy-weird-dark. Which is to say, awesome. The people in this movie are so fantastically talented, and combined with the Coens' dark and bizarre direction, this movie looks totally promising.
The trailer is a little confusing, but the IMDB plot description puts it like this: "A disk containing the memoirs of a CIA agent ends up in the hands of two unscrupulous gym employees who attempt to sell it."
I could watch Brad Pitt act like a total goofball all day.
Burn After Reading opens in theaters September 12. To check out the trailer and tell me if you think there are more Oscars in the Coen family future, read more.

So who does George Clooney play exactly?
It sounds fun, I'm definitely planning to watch it!
1OMG OMG OMG!
This looks SO SO SO good! What an amazing cast! Frances McDormand (my favorite), JK Simmons, Malkovitch, Clooney, Swinton, etc. And I'm not a Brad Pitt fan but he looks hilarious. I can't wait for this. It looks like vintage Coen Bros, like Lebowski.
2oscar? no. hilarious? definitely.
3The more I see of this movie, the better it looks. The Coen brothers can do no wrong. I'm excited to see how Brad does in one of their films.

15This is quite promising! I've been looking forward to this release since stumbling across on-set pics somewhere in cyberspace of Malcovich chasing Pitt with an ax.
16
this looks amazing! So excited!
17Genius. Catchy title/storyline and I'm sure the Coen brothers have another huge hit on their hands.
18That said, I would probably go see this cast read the phone book aloud.
I am SO EXCITED for this movie! I, too, could watch Brad Pitt act like a goofball all day long - I see a little bit of his 12 Monkeys body language coming out in this one! Can't wait can't wait can't wait!!!
19Great trailer...amazing cast. I'm definitely seeing this when it comes out!
20I was Brad Pitt was my gym teacher.
21I have heard that Clooney is a hit man brought in to clean up the problem but is sleeping with Cox's wife (Swanson) but then falls for McDormand.
22This movie looks awesome! And it has G.C., so personally imo - what's not to love?
23
Brad Pitt does goofball, very well. I'm impressed!
24Nice hair Brad...
25Looks great very raising Arizona mad cap and I personallyt hinkt his is maybe the best brad has looked ina while hairstyle notwithstanding. It'll be cool to see it once it hits theaters
26This looks aweeeeeeeeeeeeeesome!
27love the Coen brothers, love George, and love seeing Tilda in a comic role (?) - I'll totally be there...
28Looks great - Can't wait to see that.
29Looks fun but a bit confusing, but I'm ashamed to say, with the cast, I don't care if I'm confused, I'm watching!
30"Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried about the security of your ****"
"Just give us the moeny d*ckwad!"
Brad's gonna steal this movie. He made me
in the trailer.
31God this cast is so stacked. I heart the Coens so hardcore. Can't wait for this!!
32Oh, this preview was just plain funny! I'm looking forward to seeing this when it comes out.
33September? Studios release trailers way too soon! I want to see this now.
34I haven't been this excited to see a movie in a very long time! But I have to wait until September!? Arhghghg!
35
