You’re not shocked, “Up In The Air” is going to make its world premiere at TIFF. Or at least you shouldn’t be. We already put it on our TIFF predictions piece, but it felt like a no brainer.
Jason Reitman had already said he was cutting the picture with an eye towards TIFF, plus his dad, Ivan is on the board, so c’mon! They’re both Canucks. Of course they’re going to premiere it in Canada.
George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Jason Bateman and Anna Kendrick star in the corporate downsizing dramedy, that’s scheduled to hit theaters around Christmas time, just like Reitman’s “Juno” did in 2007. For more, read our in-depth, but spoiler free “Up In The Air” script review.
Other newly announced TIFF premieres include:
Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s (the director of “Amelie,” “Alien Resurrection” and “Delicatessen”) next effort “Micmacs à tire-larigot” (a world premiere).
– Fatih Akin’s comedy “Soul Kitchen” which was added to the Venice line-up this morning.
– Joe Dante’s 3D thriller “The Hole.” [Find a few others at ScreenDaily, but these are the key ones you’re probably interested in].
