This image of Oscar winners George Clooney and Frances MacDormand sharing laughs at a movie theater is one of the first images released by Focus Features for the new spy-comedy "Burn After Reading", directed by Oscar-winning directing duo Joel Coen & Ethan Coen.  The film is about a former CIA high-level employee whose memoirs go missing and are picked up by a couple of bumbling gym employees who seek to make a huge financial profit from them. 

"Burn After Reading" opens in the U.S. and in Canada on September 12.  This latest Coen Brothers film also stars Oscar winner Tilda Swinton, John Malkovich, Richard Jenkins and Brad Pitt.
