Go Up in the Air with Jason Reitman & George Clooney!

by Kyle Rupprecht | Published November 25, 2009

As one of the most highly anticipated movies of the holiday season, Up in the Air stars George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a man given the unfortunate task of firing corporate employees across the country. Living out of a suitcase, Ryan lives a lonely, relationship-free existence; that is, until his company forces him to bring young upstart Natalie (Anna Kendrick) on the road with him. Since its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Up in the Air has been accumulating serious buzz, with many saying it's one of the best movies of the year. The movie opens in limited release December 4, before landing in theaters nationwide December 25. In this MakingOf.com featurette, watch director Jason Reitman (Juno) in action on the set (along with Clooney and co-stars Vera Farmiga, Kendrick and Jason Bateman).
