Writers/directors/brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, who won the Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay this year for No Country For Old Men, will be the toast of Italy at this year's Venice Film Festival.
Their next movie, Burn After Reading, will open the film festival on August 27. Burn After Reading, which stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton is a dark spy comedy about an ex-CIA official whose memoir falls into the wrong hands.
The Venice Film Festival runs through Sept. 6.
