Last month we brought you the first poster for the Coen Brothers’ new film, Burn After Reading, and it was a fantastic throwback to some classic film posters from days gone by. For some reason, however, the studio felt it necessary to come up with a couple of new posters as well.
Neither of these new posters are anything special in my opinion. They aren’t really terrible. They’re just not really anything special. I guess I can see why the studio would feel the need to have a poster with the stars’ faces on it since that’s one of their big selling points, but neither of these posters really stand out to me at all.

In Burn After Reading John Malkovich will play Ozzie Cox, a former CIA agent who decides to do what any former CIA agent would do – write his memoirs. His soon-to-be ex-wife, Tilda Swinton, steals the disc containing his memoirs to use against him, but then accidentally leaves it at the gym where it is found by two trainers, Chad and Linda (Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand), who believe they can use the info to blackmail Cox. George Clooney will play a friend of the Cox’s who starts to have an affair with Cox’s wife and later on Linda as he starts to get caught up in the situation between the trainers and the CIA.
Burn After Reading is set to open on September 12, 2008.
I like the top poster a lot more than the second one… the second one is straight boring!
Agreed…the first one is pretty cool actually, but the second isn't even boring, it just plain sucks.
