Oh, what wonders winning an Oscar can do for your career. Joel and Ethan Coen, who just brought home a little gold statuette for their film No Country For Old Men will be stepping out of art-house territory with their next film, the comedic Burn After Reading, which feature an all-star cast and a wide release.

It was announced Sunday that the film will most likely not be included in the line-up at this year's Cannes Film Festival, but only because it will not be finished in time. The film, a Working Title and Focus Features production, will go wide on September 12. 

Burn After Reading is a darkly comedic (what the Coens do best) CIA pic starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney, who have already proven to have great on-screen chemistry (see the Ocean's 11 series). The film also stars Frances McDormand and will reunite Clooney with his Michael Clayton co-star Tilda Swinton. Lucky Swinton; now she gets to admire Clooney's dedication to his work on another film. 

The film has been written, directed, and produced by the Coen brothers and will tell the story of a former CIA official whose memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two goofball gym employees in Washington, D.C. 

September is pretty far off, but I'm already looking forward to Burn Before Reading. With a string of dark comedies under their belts (Fargo, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona), the Coen brothers have proven that two heads are better than one!
