Jason Reitman to go “Up in the Air”
So Jason Reitman finally confirmed Latino Review’s suspicions – that his next film will be an adaptation of Walter Kirn’s best selling novel “Up in the Air.” The book, which I have read, is about Ryan Bingham who lives his life within the pressurized cabins of the numerous airplanes he makes use of as a Career Transition Counsellor. He is a man with a simple, yet sort of odd, plan. He aims to earn one million miles on his frequent flier account. Most people would settle for joining the mile high club…But that is all I am saying, I am not ruining anything – it is a really good book.
Walter Kirn’s other novel, “Thumsucker,” was adapted to film three years ago, which I also read, but the book was better than the film in all honesty. Let’s hope the Reitman touch helps this time around. /Film reminds us that when Reitman is finished with “Up in the Air,” he will move on to his next work, “Pierre Pierre.”
I really hope he thanks Ellen Page and his dad when he says his prayers at night…

This should be interesting. I loved “Thumbsucker” (the first time anyway, I was a little cooler on it the second time aroun), and think Reitman is a talented director, regardless of how I feel about “Juno.” I really liked “Thank You For Smoking,” so there’s great hope for this.

I agree Matt – I do think the guy is talented, and I loved the book, so I am optimistic.

I was wondering the same thing!
Maybe it is an inner demon?

Maybe. I would not be surprised.
She just thinks that all his “Juno” love was unwarranted. It was all her and Page’s doing that the film was so awesome. He had about 5% to do with it.
Maybe I am just getting carried away.
