Damon and Brolin May Get Gritty For the Coen Brothers
The freight train that is Matt Damon's career is still chugging away at full steam: while he's off filming The Adjustment Bureau, the actor is in talks for yet another upcoming project. Ethan and Joel Coen want Damon, along with Josh Brolin, to star in their upcoming remake of True Grit.
Jeff Bridges is already on board to play US marshal Rooster Cogburn, and Damon would play a lawyer who joins Cogburn and a 14-year-old girl to track down the killer of the girl's father.
A Serious Man: Seriously Hard To Wrap Your Head Around
I like the Coen brothers. I loved No Country For Old Men, I still enjoy quoting Frances McDormand lines from Fargo — I even appreciated their most recent project, Burn After Reading despite lukewarm reviews. So I went into A Serious Man with high expectations.
Movie Preview: A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers
Seeing as this one minute, 40-second teaser trailer for the Coen brothers' latest film, A Serious Man, is like a little short film in itself, I can say with certainty that I'll be eagerly waiting in line for this one come October. The synopsis: "A black comedy set in 1967 and centered on Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor who watches his life unravel when his wife prepares to leave him because his inept brother (Richard Kind) won't move out of the house." Seeking some kind of balance, Larry approaches three different rabbis for advice.

Burn After Reading: See It or Skip It?
It's finally here, people! After its premiere at the Venice Film Festival back in August, Burn After Reading is released in cinemas nationwide today.
The Coen brothers' film follows two gym employees, Chad (Brad Pitt) and Linda (Frances McDormand), who find a CD containing data belonging to a former CIA analyst (John Malkovich).
Burn After Reading: A Smart and Sinister Spy Comedy
As the opening credits of Burn After Reading blip across a satellite image of Washington, DC, viewers may find themselves wondering if they've wandered into the wrong movie — a Bourne Identity type thriller filled with high-tech secrets and evil intentions. But for every spook with high-security clearance in DC, there is a goofball at Jamba Juice, waiting for his afternoon smoothie. And when that iPod-wearing dude wanders into the tropes of a spy movie, the results are wonderfully absurd and fraught with a different sort of intelligence.
Brad and George Continue Their Venice Bromance
The premiere of Burn After Reading opened the 2008 Venice Film Festival last night, and the stars of the film embarked on a day of promotion along with directors Joel and Ethan Coen. Brad Pitt and George Clooney's rapport was in full swing – they fooled around with their co-stars Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand in the audience at the premiere, before a surprised Brad Pitt was presented with the Best Actor award he wasn't able to pick up last year for The Assassination Of Jesse James.
The mistress of ceremonies then gave Brad a yellow flower to pass on to his buddy George!
Brad and George Share Red Carpet and Pitt's Children in Venice
The Brad Pitt and George Clooney two man Venice Film Festival show rolled on, this time swapping their dark suits for light ones to meet up with co-stars Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and the Coen brothers at a Burn After Reading photocall today. The handsome duo arrived by boat again with smiles, laughs and autographs for fans. During the session, when reporters got a little personal, the close friends kept things light by stepping in for each other and joking around.
Stars Come Out to See Country Girl in the Big City
Some of our favorite actresses from the big screen got dressed up for the theater in NY last night at the opening of The Country Girl on Broadway. The show stars Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher, who were all out afterwards to celebrate their big night with the likes of Julia Roberts and Amy Adams. Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst both looked perfectly content to be flying solo without their new — one rumored, one real — men.
Hey Winners, It's Time To Pose With Your Oscar!
Straight from the on-stage high to the press room with their newest hand weight, all the winners were happy to pose with their Oscars last night. All the acting winners — Javier, Daniel, Marion and Tilda – were shining as bright as their awards while the Coen brothers each walked off with an armload. The presenters also stopped to pose for the cameras without statues, but still glamorous nonetheless.
