The four-time Academy Award winners (9 nominations) Joel and Ethan Coen are opening Venice this year with their new film ‘Burn After Reading.’ The movie will star none other than George Clooney, John Malkovich and Brad Pitt. It’s being produced by Working Title Films for Focus Features and finished shooting last Fall.
The comedy follows the story of a CIA agent who gets fired for being an alcoholic. After writing down his memoirs in revenge, he accidently leaves them in the gym, where the gym’s owner finds them.
‘Burn After Reading’ will open the 65th Venice Film Festival August 27.
