Poor George Clooney -- besides traveling the world, working with A-list filmmakers, hooking up with absurdly hot women and being outrageously handsome, he's overloaded with work!
Now Clooney will join JUNO director Jason Reitman for UP IN THE AIR, based on the bestselling book by Walter Kirn. The sardonic tale follows a professional hatchet-man (jobs, not trees or nubile teens) obsessed with flying the friendly skies and racking up miles, only to realize he doesn't have much going for him on the ground.
Clooney also has a bunch of other projects in the works, including the supernatural satire THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, and possibly another directing gig. That guy should take a break. Maybe in Venice.
Extra Tidbit:
Kirn also wrote the novel that was adapted into THUMBSUCKER.
