]]> What happens when you blend “Thank You For Smoking” and “Juno” together? you get a film that’s creating a lot of buzz on the film festival circuit, most recently at the Toronto Film Festival and the Telluride Film Festival, both of which took place in September.

“Up in the Air” stars George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a corporate downsizing expert who loves life on the road. But just as he’s about to reach ten million frequent flyer miles – and just as he meets the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams — he’s pulled off the road and out of the air.

Directed by Jason Reitman (the Oscar® nominated director of “Juno” and writer/director of “Thank You For Smoking”), this movie also stars Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman, and Danny McBride. It hits theaters in limited release on Dec. 4, 2009. Watch the trailer and see what you think…

]]> ellen_page_smart_people It’s a trio of Indie goodness as Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard and Cillian Murphy are in talks to join Christopher Nolan’s ”Inception.” If all goes well, they’ll be joining Leonardo DiCaprio, already onboard.

A cloak of secrecy surrounds the film, but it’s described as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” Well, that really spells it out.

Whatever the plot, these three will be a great addition. Loved Ellen Page in “Hard Candy” and “Juno,” and there’s a reason why Marion Cotillard won a Best Actress Oscar award for La Vie en rose. Cillian Murphy is a favorite of Nolan’s, having played Scarecrow in “The Dark Knight.”

Nolan and company are looking at beginning shooting this summer, with a 2010 release date.
