Burn After Reading Review
It doesn’t make a lot of sense to follow up a movie as dark as “No Country for Old Men” with one as downright silly as “Burn After Reading,” which is why it works for the Coen brothers. Joel and Ethan have done this before — they made “Raising Arizona” after “Blood Simple“; “The Big Lebowski” followed “Fargo” — and if there’s one thing these brothers savor, it’s upending their audience’s expectations.

Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges In Men Who Stare at Goats
Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges are in negotiations to star opposite George Clooney in the “Men Who Stare at Goats.”
Based on the book by the Guardian columnist Jon Ronson, “Men Who Stare at Goats” is set in Iraq and centers on Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), a desperate reporter who stumbles upon the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), who claims to be a former secret U.S. military psychic soldier who was reactivated post-9/11.
The book’s title refers to the telepathic ability to kill farmyard animals with just a thought.
“Men Who Stare at Goats” chronicles the two men’s travels through Iraq and offers glimpses into the supposedly real secret Army unit tasked with creating soldiers with paranormal powers.

George Clooney Joins “Up in the Air”
Jason Reitman (Juno) plans to direct “Up in the Air” with the hopes that George Clooney will star in an adaptation of the 2001 Walter Kirn novel, which Reitman adapted.
Clooney will play a corporate downsizer who is obsessed with collecting frequent flier miles.
The project is set up at the Montecito Picture Company, which has its first-look deal with DreamWorks.
Apparently Kirn’s novel experienced quite a journey to production that started around 2004. It was bought and packaged with a spec script by “The Longest Yard” scribe Sheldon Turner, with Griffin producing.
