Up In The Air

A new film, ‘Up In The Air,’ tells the story of a corporate hatchet man who is hired by companies to come in and lay-off workers.

Jason Reitman, of 'Juno' & 'Thank You for Smoking' fame, directed the film which stars George Clooney as the high-flying employee executioner.

The film also features non-actors — people who had recently lost their jobs.
