Red Carpet
Venice 2008 After Burning

“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”.
