The dramedy about two gym employees trying to blackmail a former CIA agent to get loads of cash has premiered its restricted trailer on the net.

AceShowbiz - In the wake of their multiple awards-winning drama thriller "No Country for Old Men", Joel and Ethan Coen are about to present moviegoers with their yet other promising feature film. Before their latest drama comedy movie "Burn After Reading" hits the big screen though, they introduce it first by releasing a ludicrous restricted trailer online.
Timed at 2:10, the red band trailer pretty much gives out the plot line as well as the comedic situations the main characters faced. Opened with a shot of a gym, the video footage continues on with a clip showing the gym's employee Chad trying to convince Linda, his co-worker, that they can exploit their discovery, a disc containing CIA agent Osborne Cox's memoir. Inexperienced in blackmailing others but determined to do anything to gain some fortune from it, the two go on with their plan on selling the contents of the disc to the highest bidder and unknowingly put themselves in serious situations.
Directed, produced and scripted by the renowned Coen brothers, "Burn" is a Focus Features' tidbit that teams up A-list Hollywood stars, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and Tilda Swinton as the leading characters. It reportedly is set to be premiered at 2008 Venice Film Festival on August 27, 2008 when it opens the festival. Additionally, it will receive its theatrical trailer on September 12 .
