Coen Brothers Announce Pair Of Films

Oscar-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen recently announced that they will write, produce and direct their next two projects for Working Title Films and Focus Features, NBC Universal's art house division.

Production on Burn After Reading, a dark spy comedy starring Frances McDormand, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, is set to begin late this summer while The Serious Man has no scheduled start date.

The brothers Coen are currently wrapping up post-production work on the feature-length No Country for Old Men, which premieres at next month's Cannes Film Festival.
