As a St. Louis denizen, all I knew a few months ago about Jason Reitman’s new George Clooney film Up in the Air was that the filming process congested my nearest airport (and that several of my classmates wound up being extras!).
Now, thanks to /Film and the wonder of media embeds, we can get a better picture of what the film is about. Early word from the Telluride Film Festival compares it to the work of Frank Capra and Billy Wilder; while I can’t draw that comparison from the trailer, I can say this — this is what trailers should be. Elegant, moving, dwelling in the tone of the film and not the general appeal, Reitman has crafted a trailer for lovers of film.
Up in the Air, scheduled for release on December 4th, also stars Jason Bateman, J.K. Simmons, Anna Kendrick, Vera Farmiga and Danny McBride. Take a look at the trailer below.

(Looks like our video got shut down! Boo, hiss. We got to it before embed codes were revoked. Take a look at it over on /Film.)
