of Joel and Ethan Coen, have put together a virtual cornucopia of

Composer Carter Burwell began composing for film in the mid-1980s for

Festival. At the headquarters of the CIA, analyst Osbourne Cox
(Academy Award® Winner John Malkovich) arrives for a top-secret
meeting – where he learns he is being ousted. He returns to his home
to work on his memoirs and to drink, not necessarily in that order.
His wife Katie (Academy Award® Tilda Swinton) is dismayed but not
surprised; she is already into an illicit affair with Harry Pfarrer
(Academy Award® George Clooney) a married federal marshal and sets
about making plans to leave Cox for Harry.
A computer disc containing material for the CIA analyst’s memoirs
accidentally falls into the hands of Hardbodies Fitness Center
Employees Linda and Chad (Academy Award® Frances McDormand and Academy
Award® nominated Brad Pitt) leading to a cascading series of darkly
hilarious events.
Focus Features presents BURN AFTER READING in theaters on September
12, 2008. BURN AFTER READING original soundtrack on Lakeshore Records
will be available via iTunes and Amazon digital on September 2nd and
in stores on September 16th.
