Pitt and Clooney 'Burn After Reading'

The 'Ocean's Eleven' stars will re-team for the new one from the Coen brothers.

Apr 20 2007

The Coen brothers are putting together a star-studded cast for 'Burn After Reading', with Brad Pitt joining George Clooney in the forthcoming feature.

Long-time Coen collaborator (and wife of Joel) Frances McDormand will also star in the film, which concerns a CIA agent who loses the disc of the book he is writing.

Little else is known about the project at present, although it should start shooting in the States in August. Before then, the brothers' 'No Country for Old Men' will premiere in Cannes next month.
