New Coen brothers film.

Frances McDormand
George Clooney
Brad Pitt
John Malkovich

Quote:
Malkovich will play Ozzie Cox, a former CIA agent whose soon-to-be ex-wife (Frances McDormand) steals a disc containing his memoirs and accidentally leaves it at the gym where it is found by a trainer (Brad Pitt) who believes he can use the info to blackmail Cox[1]. George Clooney will play an assassin hired by the CIA to take care of the situation.


Filming right now!

This one sounds quite promising. Clooney as an assassin in a Coen Brothers movie just sounds like pure gold.

Grrr... someone beat me to making the thread, and by a substantial margin :evil: :P

Well it's sure as hell close now, can't wait for this. There are a bunch of stills put up now on IMDB.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887883/

I love that Richard Jenkins is in this, he's been one of my favorite journeymen character actors for a long time now (I think he played the dead father on "Six Feet Under"). I'd almost put him in the J.T. Walsh category.

I was involved in a marketing group regarding this film.

The clips looked fucking awesome. I can't wait to see this.

i didn't love the book, but i think it'd make a killer film, esp. in the hands of those wacky coens

Reviews so far have been middling, but still, what else is even out this month? Looking forward to seeing this.
