Burn After Reading : Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) is an ex-CIA agent who lost his job due to hitting the bottle too hard. His wife Katie (Tilda Swinton) is soon to divorce him, and she one day decides to steal her husband’s memoirs. She accidentally leaves the memoirs at the gym where they are soon discovered by the gym employees (Brad Pitt and Linda Litzke) who begin scheming how to profit from their findings. Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney) is the man Katie Cox has been sleeping with on the side and ends up getting entangled within the chaos which ensues after one initial phone call. “I thought you might be worried about the security of your shit.”

Burn After Reading sure has a lot of big names behind it. Brad Pitt and George Clooney among many others make it quite the strong Hollywood cast. That said and considering all the big-time awards won by different actors and the directors of this movie means that we might be looking at the next 10+ Academy Awards winning movie.

Burn After Reading has a strong cast, brilliant directors, and thrilling writers behind it. It’s due to come out in September, just a bit too late to make it a “summer blockbuster”. Burn After Reading looks promisingly entertaining and is guaranteed to do well at the box office considering the big names behind it.
