New York, Dec 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) For all fans who are awaiting the next from Juno Director’s Jason Reitman’s stable, the wait is nearly over. For a long time his next venture ‘Up in The Air’ was delayed, and when it got a bit altered, then it is bang on track and on time too.

“Up in the Air” deals with hard times and the frightening prospect of unemployment as they are at the center of the movie. And for many people it is an Academy Awards favorite too.

In this movie, the heart-throb who makes women weak in the knees, George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, who essentially lives in airports and hotels, contentedly jet-setting around the country as a contractor hired to fire people.

This movie is based on a novel By Walter Kirn that came out in 2001. The director Reitman has also written the screenplay six years ago. “I wrote the scenes tonally consistent with a booming economy,” Reitman said in a recent interview. “By the time we were making the movie, a million people had lost their jobs. It was more appropriate to handle the scenes with a certain amount of gravity and authenticity.”

“You have instincts that are driving you and then things happen along the way,” says the 32-year-old writer-director. “It’s how you react as things happen that determines whether a film turns out to be good.”
