George Clooney's always worth watching, and so far director Jason Reitman hasn't set a foot wrong, with Thank You For Smoking and Juno under his belt. So the prospect of a film from both of them - say, one called Up In The Air - is a positively tasty one, and we're delighted to bring you the new poster for the film.
Clooney stars as a corporate downsizing expert (booo! Hissss!) who travels all over the US in pursuit of more opportunities to fire people. As he approaches the 10million* frequent flyer miles milestone and meets the frequent-flying woman of his dreams (Farmiga), his cherished lifestyle is threatened as his company wants to move him to headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.
We have a feeling that this will share more creative DNA with Thank You For Smoking than Juno, but in any case it sounds like an opportunity for sly Clooney comedy, sort of **Michael Clayton **meets Intolerable Cruelty.
*It's one million in the Walter Kim novel on which this is based, so we're not sure this is right; we'll try to find out.
