Teaser for "Up in the Air"



From Jason Reitman, (Thank you for smoking and Juno) comes a trailer for his next project starring George Clooney. Clooney stars as Ryan Bingham, “a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and just after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.” Despite what the official studio released plot synopsis might lead you to believe, this film is not exactly a romantic comedy, it is much more.

Last week I saw "Thank you for smoking" for the first time and I was blown away! Its all character driven which I like, but the characters are also so defined, yet loose and cool. Starring Aaron Eckhart as a "spinner" (basicly extremly sharp, and crafty and its his sole job to spin the truth) that represents the tobacco industry as well as being a good father to his son. It exposes the hypocracy that the society needs to make bad things, more palatable.

Paramount Pictures has provided /Film with the exclusive premiere of the first teaser trailer for Up in the Air, which is an alternative cut created by Reitman specifically for the internet. The teaser is based around a speech that Bingham gives at motivational speaking gigs. It’s a very Fight Club-esque philosophy — that the things you own, and the relationships you carry, end up owning you and weighing you down. (With a hint of "American Psycho" objectisme), and this is the key philosophy of Ryan Bingham, who lives his life traveling around the world, free of relationships, family or compromises. source /Film.com

Watch the trailer in High Definition here: 480p and 720

Up in the Air is currently scheduled to hit theaters on December 4th 2009.
