New 'Burn After Reading' poster inspired by Saul Bass



The movie poster for the Coen Brothers’s Burn After Reading is one of my favorite posters released this year. The distinctive style is a call back to the one-sheets of legendary poster/title artist Saul Bass. I have included some of the great Bass posters which might have inspired this new design below.










Written and directed by the Coen Brothers, this new dark-spy comedy stars Academy Award nominee John Malkovich as an ousted CIA official whose memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) intent on exploiting their find. The film also features George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Richard Jenkins. If you haven’t already, you should watch the red band movie trailer.

Burn After Reading will hit theaters on September 12th, 2008.

It seems to be a good movie, and somehow it looks like the poster translates its "feel".

Cool poster. Saul Bass is the fucking man. The title sequence of The Age of Innocence is one of the best ones ever.

Still, Vertigo FTW.

Too bad the movie has lame actors. George Cooney and Brad Pitt? Die.

I just watched the Man with the Golden Arm last week and it was really, really good.

oh i know especially when you compare them to THE NAMES on the original saul bass posters. it has frank sinatra, james stewart, audrey hepburn, kim novak.

and then "burn after reading" has brad pitt and george clooney as THE marquee names. FTL!
