The Coen brothers have followed No Country for Old Men with something a bit lighter. They've gone back to comedy with Burn After Reading, a crime caper film involving some missing CIA memoirs.

We have the red band trailer for you to watch, and it looks pretty funny.

Burn After Reading has a great cast in John Malkovich, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt. Malkovich plays an ex CIA agent who writes some damning memoirs, only to have his estranged wife steal them, and then lose them. Pitt plays a gym trainer who finds them, and sets about blackmailing Malkovich.

You can see the trailer here, via iTunes. I reckon it looks really good, Pitt does comedy well, and I also prefer Clooney in more edgier roles. What do you think of it? How do you think it will compare to the Coen brothers other comedies?
