Focus Features released the trailer of their upcoming film “Burn After Reading” starring not-so-famous actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton among many others.Like many Focus Features films - The Pianist, Brokeback Mountain, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - I expect this to be conversationally saturated, oddly deep, borderline boring and artsy fartsy.
But we know they have some way to make it all come together in the end.
An even graver reason for me to watch it (aside from the fact that Brad Pitt looks to have been put in a role where he dorks himself) is the otherwise resurrection of evil man John Malkovich. Yes, people.. he exists!
And while he was previously in Eragon and Beowulf, I dont think he’s been in any film that credits his acting since Man in the Iron Mask (which was waaaay before Leonardo cared for the environment). I dont know with you but I want my bad ass Malkovich back. This dude gives kids nightmares.
Burn After Reading opens September 12, 2008
