Classic genres as diverse as slapstick, farce, suspense and film noir all inform their various movies. And sometimes, like in their upcoming dark spy comedy <strong>Burn After Reading<\/strong>, its possible that all those influences come into play. We don&#8217;t want to give too much of the plot away, but the movie centers on anunpublished memoir written by a disgruntled former-CIA operative (John Malkovich) that falls into the hands of two dimwitted gym instructors (Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt).<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s great is the film&#8217;s first released poster (click to make bigger), which appeared over at <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100921124901\/http:\/\/blog.moviefone.com:80\/2008\/06\/17\/exclusive-burn-after-reading-poster-premiere\">Cinematical<\/a>. The bold color design and off-kilter, blockish design recall the style of poster artist Saul Bass, who created memorable promotional art for such films as <strong>Vertigo<\/strong>, <strong>Anatomy Of A Murder<\/strong> and <strong>The Man With The Golden Arm<\/strong>. The Coens are definitely giving us a hint of what to expect from the film when it opens on September 12.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">If there&#8217;s one thing I like about the Coen Brothers, it is that there films routinely show a wide knowledge of film history.
