Even as "No Country for Old Men" enjoys a post-Oscar bounce, the Coen brothers are preparing for a Sept. 12 release of their next movie, "Burn After Reading."

Joel and Ethan Coen wrote, directed and produced "Burn," starring George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and Tilda Swinton.

If you're keeping track, that's almost a dozen Oscars among them, including the combined six the brothers just won for directing, writing and producing "No Country," named best picture of 2007.

Focus Features describes it as a dark spy comedy, starring Malkovich as an ousted CIA official whose memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two Washington, D.C., gym employees intent on exploiting it. Swinton, winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Michael Clayton," plays Malkovich's wife.

The cast includes Richard Jenkins, who appeared in the Coens' "The Man Who Wasn't There" and HBO's "Six Feet Under" (as the late father-funeral home operator).

McDormand, who started her career in school plays in Monessen long before she married Joel Coen, will be back on screen Friday in "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day." She plays an unemployed governess caught up in the tangled romantic life of an American actress and singer (Amy Adams) in 1939 London.
