Brad Pitt Premieres "Burn After Reading"

Brad Pitt joins prankster pal George Clooney at the opening ceremony and Burn After Reading premiere during the 2008 Venice Film Festival at Sala Grande on Wednesday in Venice, Italy.

The 44-year-old father-of-six and the 47-year-old ladies man were accompanied by directors Joel and Ethan Coen and actresses Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton.

Last night, Brad and George partied into the wee hours after the black tie fundraiser for their Not On Our Watch charity. To read about their partying ways with some 20 fundraiser guests at the Cipriani’s poolside bar, visit People.com.

You can also check out one of the first reviews of the movie at Variety.com. Here’s a snippet: “Major star names might stoke some mild B.O. heat with older upscale viewers upon U.S. release Sept. 12, but no one should expect this reunion of George Clooney and Brad Pitt to remotely resemble an Ocean’s film commercially.”
