Charlize Theron stars in Jason Reitman‘s Young Adult. She plays a successful author who returns home looking to get back together with what she sees as the love of her life (Patrick Wilson), but he’s not only married – his wife just had a baby. As Marvin Gaye once sang “ain’t no mountain high enough to keep me from getting to you.” There’s a trailer for the film now, check it out….
Charlize Theron leads Jason Reitman‘s new film Young Adult as a youth fiction writer who returns to her hometown to run triumphant, only to discover that most people have moved on from high school. The film was written by Diablo Cody, and also features Patrick Wilson and Patton Oswalt. The film is scheduled for release on December 16th, which means that it’s definitely going for some Oscars. Take a look at the full poster after the jump.
The year was 2007, and a young filmmaker named Jason Reitman took a chance on an unknown’s screenplay called Juno. Several years, Oscar wins, and Oscar nominations later Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody are ready to make magic happen again with a new project called Young Adult. According to Deadline, the film will feature Charlize Theron dealing with love, loss, and more loss.
All year Up in the Air has been a festival and critics darling thanks to the great script and direction of Jason Reitman. The only thing that may keep it from gaining Oscar gold is the dark horse, The Hurt Locker. The Kathryn Bigelow drama has been running neck and neck with Reitman’s latest, and is on it’s way to making Academy Awards history. If Bigelow gets a nomination and a win, she’ll be the first woman to ever receive a Best Director Oscar. But in order for her to break that barrier she has to take Reitman and his flick out of contention, which won’t be an easy feat.
Jason Reitman has been on a roll these past few months thanks to his latest film, Up in the Air. It scooped up several awards on the festival circuit, and has Oscar gold in its sights. Reitman’s most recent accolade came at the 21st Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival, where he was honored along with actor Jeremy Renner, and composer T Bone Burnett.
Jason Reitman once again tackles comedy and drama with his latest film entitled, Up in the Air. The film stars Oscar winner George Clooney and features Twilight co-star Anna Kendrick as his naive young sidekick. Up in the Air is a refreshing look at a career driven man and his inability to connect with those around him. The film offers a humorous yet relevant take on how technology effects people’s ability to have healthy, normal relationships.

Oscar nominated director Jason Reitman is definitely a step ahead of most filmmakers in his generation. He’s a talented visionary who knows how to mix comedy and drama in a unique and non-contrived way. His latest feature, Up in the Air stars George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrick in a tale about self imposed isolation. The film sounds like a downer but is the exact opposite.
The screenplay for Up in the Air was adapted from the novel of the same name by Walter Kirn. Even though the basic premise is there, Reitman and his writing partner Sheldon Turner were able to incorporate certain elements from the book, while adding new plot points for cinematic flare. When we spoke to the director he gave us the inside scoop on how he added his own twist to the story, while still staying true to the source material.

You lucky bastard you! Jason Reitman is one of the few people who recently got an opportunity to catch a sneak peek of Edgar Wright‘s live action adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Apparently a few of the director’s closest friends were shown up to 30 minutes of the film, and Reitman was one of them. He wrote a review of the footage he saw on his Twitter page, and we’ve posted it here.
Check out his mini-review…
Director Jason Reitman is on a role! First with Thank You for Not Smoking, then Juno, and now Up in the Air, he’s proved that all three times can be a charm. If you liked either of his previous works, than you’re going to love his latest film, Up in the Air starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, with a number of amazing supporting roles by Jason Bateman, J.K. Simmons, Zach Galifianakis and more.
Sadly, at the press conference for for the film at The London Film Festival, Clooney was unable to show up because (as always) he was busy working away on another one of his many projects. But! We were graced by the extremely humble and hilarious, Jason Reitman who is just as charming and funny as his films, the gorgeous and talented Vera Farminga, and the adorable new-comer who will blow you away Anna Kendrick.
