The first teaser trailer for Jason Reitman’s ‘Up in the Air’

The official synopsis for ‘Up In The Air’ is:

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) is a corporate downsizing expert - someone who fires people for a living - whose cherished life on the road is threatened by young hotshot just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman he never thought he’d meet.

Based upon Walter Kirn’s novel of the same name, ’Up in the Air’ is both written and directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Jason Reitman who directed ‘Thank You for Smoking’ and ‘Juno’.

This is one of the best trailers I’ve seen this year. The subtly of what is shown on screen automatically gives you a sense of how lonely Clooney’s character is, and just how empty his life is from constantly traveling for work. This has just moved up to the top 5 of my “Must see films of 2009” list.

‘Up in the Air’ hits theaters December 4th, 2009.
