Burn After Reading's international teaser
Via "Universal UK Trailers," who's only ever uploaded this video. "Good."

Not knocking the trailer for a second, it makes the movie look like good, raucous fun... but isn't the whole TRAILER vibe straight out of Stanley's playbook; the surnames only, in white, playing under a piece of music with a strong rhythm that dictates the cutting... even Tilda Swinton's nod and smirk is as so-knowing as it could be, referencing the Kubrick stare and grin (a la Lolita, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket).
One question. Do the Coens cut their own promos?
[PRIDE: I believe they do and I believe you are correct. Barry Nelson behind a desk knowing nothing in The Shining... J.K. Simmons behind a desk knowing nothing, etc.]
