New 'Burn After Reading' Trailer is Heavy on the Doltish Pitt

After the first trailer was pushed out, there were some groans about Brad Pitt putting on the dunce cap for Joel and Ethan Coen’s upcoming spy-comedy-of-errors, Burn After Reading. But really, would a return of the hamfisted Brad of Babel be more welcome than his dumbest role since Floyd in True Romance? Don’t think so. The second trailer ups the anticipation level for the September 12th release, but name dropping George Clooney, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, and Frances McDormand doesn’t hurt either. Stay bullish.
