Latest Trailer for Up in the Air

Last year Slumdog Millionaire came out of the Telluride Movie Festival with buzz behind it that continued through release and eventually led all the way to a Best Picture win at the Academy Awards. 2009’s film that could be on the same track is Up in the Air. Based on the book of the same name it stars George Clooney as a corporate downsizer that spends the majority of his life traveling. Clooney appears to be positioned for at least a nomination for Best Actor and could be a serious contender to win it for the role.

After having been pushed forward from a December release date to November 13th due to the acclaim it was receiving, it has now been moved back into December rolling out in limited release on December 4th and expanding wide on Christmas Day. Consideration had to be made to two other Clooney led films coming out in November. He also stars in The Men Who Stare at Goats (November 6th) and voices the lead in the stop-motion animated The Fantastic Mr. Fox (Thanksgiving).
