Jason Bateman And George Clooney Star In Up In The Air
Posted by John Campeaon 02. 03. 2009in News Chat
It’s being reported that George Clooney and Jason Bateman are going to star in the new Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking, Juno) movie, “Up In The Air”. I actually think the concept for this sounds pretty good. The folks over at Coming Soon give us the following:
Jason Bateman has signed on for Up in the Air, the adaptation of the Walter Kirn novel that director Jason Reitman is filming for DreamWorks and the Montecito Picture Co. George Clooney stars as a corporate downsizer who is obsessed with collecting frequent flyer miles at the expense of having a life. Bateman will play his boss.
Ok, it’s not exactly an international espionage thriller… but I think the idea sounds funny. Bateman and Reitman have worked together before (Juno) with pretty solid results, and most people know that I think Clooney is simply the very best “movie star” (not best actor) working in the business today. Chalk me up to being very interested in this one.

not a glooney fan, but this sounds interesting
To be honest, it would sound better if you switch Clooney and Bateman’s roles around. Nonetheless, this should be promising.
They’re filming this movie right across the street from my office as I speak. It’s a big deal here in St. Louis but to be honest the premise sounds dumb. I am hopeful with the announcement of Bateman’s involvment in the picture.
Angela, Where’s your office? Lol I work downtown too and have seen the crews but wasn’t sure where exactly they were filming.
Wow…I’m excited about this!
I’m on 4th Street next to the Fed. They filmed at the Mansion House. I think today they’re over off Market
are all the extras picked yet
Hi Mr. Clooney,
Let me know when you have some free time to meet us.
