Clooney and The Coens sittin' in a tree... Not kissin', but makin' BURN AFTER READING!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the most exciting news of the day. I first heard about BURN AFTER READING when I had a brief interview with George Clooney at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in February of this year (CLICK IT HERE TO READ THAT!!!). He didn't elaborate, just said he'd do it in the Spring and that it was really funny.

Then there was no word on the project for a good long goddamn while. Now we hear it's officially official. BURN AFTER READING is about a CIA agent (and killer, apparently) who loses the disc to a book he's writing. Not much more info now than there was in February, but the starting date has been pushed back to August/Mid-September while Clooney finishes shooting and posting his next directorial effort, LEATHERHEADS.

Looks like this will indeed be Joel and Ethan Coen's next project, with the long talked about HAIL CAESAR! and SUBURBICON taking a backseat. BURN AFTER READING sounds great! Absolutely can't wait!
