Variety reports that George Clooney is in talks to star in Jason Reitman's Juno follow-up, Up in the Air, based on Walter Kirn's novel.
Clooney would play the role of a corporate downsizer obsessed with collecting airline miles.
Reitman is a longtime fan of the 2002 book and has been working on his own take for the past five years. After the back-to-back successes of Juno and Thank You for Smoking, Reitman is finally getting the chance to translate the work to the big screen.
