‘Burn After Reading’ Premieres In Venice
Brad Pitt (who was spotted in Venice, Italy yesterday with his two oldest sons), George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and the Coen brothers were all on hand for a photocall/premiere event at the Venice Film Festival earlier today to promote their new movie Burn After Reading. Here are a few pics from the event red carpet:
Burn After Reading looks like a pretty good film … I mean, the Coens are pretty amazing filmmakers and the cast is really superb (mainly, I’m most excited about Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand). It’s been ages since we’ve seen Brad Pitt in any kind of humorous film … I hope it’s as good as it appears from the trailer.
Speaking of Mr. Pitt, he and Mr. Clooney had themselves a little fun with the personal questions that were lobbed at them left and right at a press conference:
Reporters at a Burn After Reading press conference Wednesday in Venice, Italy, didn’t seem to care too much about the new comedy. Instead, they wanted to talk babies and marriage with the film’s stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Is it better to win an Oscar or fall in love with a beautiful woman, one reporter asked Pitt. “Brad, don’t answer that,” Clooney quipped. When a Hong Kong TV channel reporter asked Pitt if his twins look more like him or Angelina Jolie, Clooney stepped in again. “The twins are fine,” he said, according to Reuters. Does Clooney have any plans to settle down and have kids himself, another journalist asked. “I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question,” he joked. “I am getting married and having children today. Brad?” Replied Pitt, “And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him. I’ll have two more by next year.” Pitt made his first public post-twin appearance with Clooney Tuesday night at a Not On Our Watch fundraiser at Venice’s Giudecca island.
Yeah, you think Brad is kidding? I wouldn’t blink an eye if the Brangelina brood did, in fact, expand next year. It’s about time the fam got back to adoptin’ orphans, right?

I say good for them. Can you imagine what it’s like being asked the same damn questions about your personal life over and over again for 7,8, 10 years?! They should be able to have a little fun with the media.

I see what you’re saying, Sarah, but those redundant questions go along w the fame and fortune. Brad’s cool (so is Tilda!) but I CAN NOT STAND George Clooney. He’s a pompous ASS. Word, George: You’re Boring and Looking OLD!

I honestly think that Brad (and Angelina) have forgotten the true meaning of having children. They’re just collecting them now like people collect books or art. They’re doing this for their own egos, not to help out less fortunate kids in the world. What’s the bet most of these kids don’t end up in therapy in later years. We’ll see them write tell-all books about how they had to fight for their parents’ attention.

I so want to see this movie. Not interested in their personal lives… not reality.
If you think the regular trailer looks good - take a look at the red band trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g_gxkpfoHU
