Toronto Film Festival

The Burn After Reading cast, without George, hit the Toronto Film Festival yesterday. Here’s some pics from the Promo shoot.

George will not attend Toronto Film Festival

According to the National Post George will not be attending the Toronto Film Festival

Confirmation just in: Brad Pitt returns to the Toronto International Film Festival. But he’ll just do a grip-and-grip red carpet thing for the Coen Brothers Burn After Reading. And that’s about it for Pitt during the picture-possibilities for the first part of the festival starting up Sept. 4.

Sadly, curious George Clooney will miss the Toronto festival this time. He co-stars in the Coens picture with Pitt. And while both Clooney and Pitt are scheduled to attend the Venice Film Festival days before where Burn After Reading’s getting a big showcase. No Toronto for Geo C.

Burn After Reading to show at the Toronto Film Festival

Burn After Reading will show in September at the Toronto Film Festival.

Burn After Reading, as some might know, is the latest movie to come out of the Coen Brothers cannon. Besides Pitt, it’s got a cast so polished and worth coveting that one is surprised Steve Jobs didn’t have something to do with it! There is, for instance, the ceremonious Tilda Swinton, the major-league Frances McDormand and the never-limp John Malkovich. Oh, and did we mention George Clooney? It is said to be the third in the Clooney-Coen “idiot trilogy.” following O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty.

Actually, they say this latest flick — about the CIA and hijinks and, well, George Clooney — is no No Country for Old Men. More Madcap Coen than Dark Terrain Coen. Burn After Reading, by the way, is also confirmed to open the Venice Film Festival at the end of August. That announcement came months ago and fits into a strategy that its distributor, Focus Features, has used before. As movie biz blogger Jeffery Walls from www.holly-wood-elsewhere.comrecently surmised, “It’s a standard tactic for fall films with a modicum of class to do the old Venice- Toronto two-step prior to their commercial debut.”
