Total Film: The Modern Guide to The Movies

He’s reuniting with Juno helmer Jason Reitman

Mar 2nd 2009 By Total Film

Jason Bateman has signed on to the cast of Juno director Jason Reitman’s latest, Up In The Air.

Air’s plot finds George Clooney as a corporate downsizer who is obsessed with grabbing his one-millionth frequent flyer mile.

Trouble is, his devotion to business and travel has left him without a proper life.

Bateman – who is already shooting on the movie so he can be ready to start work on pregnancy comedy Baster with Jennifer Aniston - is playing Clooney’s boss.

Adapted by Reitman from Walter Kirn’s novel, Up In The Air should be out later in the year.
