At age 50, he falls in love with a 30-year-old woman, Cate Blanchett. And then must come to terms with the relationship as they literally grow in opposite directions.

The movie also stars Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond.

Venice 2008 After Burning

“Burn After Reading” (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand) finally had its long awaited premiere at Venice Film Festival.

The movie re-unites Joel and Ethan Coen with George Clooney, who appeared in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and actress Frances McDormand (Joel’s wife) who won an Oscar for her role in their 1996 film “Fargo“.

“I’ve done three films with them and they call it my trilogy of idiots”

Clooney told reporters after a press screening (”O Brother, Where Art Thou?”, “Intolerable Cruelty” and “Burn After Reading”).

He plays a nervous, twitchy federal marshal whose extra-marital affairs bring him into contact with a gym instructor, played by Pitt, desperately seeking to extort money from a sacked CIA analyst whose memoirs go missing.

“After reading the part, which they said was hand-written for myself, I was not sure if I should be flattered or insulted”

said Brad Pitt, whose character the directors describe as a “knucklehead”.

Brad was asked how the chosen ones are doing.
