Barely a month after a teaser and a clip, here's the full theatrical trailer for **Up In The Air; the eagerly anticipated pairing of star George Clooney and director Jason Reitman.
As you'll know by now, Clooney is the morally empty "corporate downsizer" on a mission to collect a million air miles as he travels around eviscerating small businesses, until circumstances start converging to prick his conscience. The new trailer obviously showcases Clooney, doing his wounded Michael Clayton corporate schtick, but it also gives us a good look at Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick as the female leads, and glimpses of what's sure to be sterling support from Jason Bateman, JK Simmons, and flavour-of-the-year Zach Galifianakis.
The mainstream smarts of Reitman's Juno, plus some of the edge of his Thank You For Smoking reapplied, plus Clooney on top of his game, plus sterling co-stars and supporting cast, equals palpable hit. Up in the Air will be showing at the London Film Festival later this month, and gets its full UK release in January.
