Up In The Air movie trailer

Simon Brew


Jason Reitman’s Juno follow-up, Up In The Air, has been generating positive word of mouth. And there’s now a brand new trailer for the film right here…

Published on Sep 10, 2009

Ten years into his directorial career, and Jason Reitman's star, it's fair to say, is in the stratosphere. And that's down to the success and acclaim generated by his last two movies. While not perfect, Thank You For Smoking was just the kind of film you thought Hollywood would simply never make. And then there's the story of Juno, the small indie film that notched up Oscar nominations and a nine-figure gross at the US box office. That's really, all considered, not a bad return for your last two movies.

But now Reitman has turned his attention to his next project, Up In The Air. It stars George Clooney and Jason Bateman, and there's room too for an appearance from the marvellous J K Simmons. And it'd be fair to observe that the trailer for the film is far from your conventional fare.

The film itself has been picking up positive vibes from the film festival crowds, but we wonder if the final product will be as divisive as we suspect this trailer might be. Take a look for yourself and see what you think...

What was divisive about the trailer? Apart from the "we're sharks" thing (which is a false analogy cos of Remora Fish) it's a fairly slowish trailer for an interesting looking film. Doesn't give a huge amount away - I'm guessing it's about relationships and what makes life worthwhile. Of course George Cloony could sit there reading the phone book and it would sound great.

Looks good, that said I agree with GGUK in questioning whats divisive about this, although I do get a hint that this ain't a traditional movie, mind you given that its from the same director as Thank you for Smoking (a stunning film) and Juno (that I haven't seen yet but that everyone raves about) I don't expect to see it.... Can't wait to see it, and will poke my mate to bring round their copy of Juno which they have been promising to do for ages.

Okay. Here's the thing. I am an intelligent guy but I really hate trailers who do not address what the film is about. Nice soliloquy but with clever editing, light piano music, and the most photogenic shots of the stars No Country For Old Men could have had a trailer like that. At least address the basic premise of the movie. It could be a love story or Clooney could have cancer and he's trying to give his final moments some relevance. Or anything in between.
