A tobacco lobbyist, a pregnant teenager, and now a mile-snatching commercial flyer; for Jason Reitman, director of Thank You For Smoking, Juno, and now Up in the Air, the characters just get more and more interesting - and for good reason. You see, unlike other directors, Reitman understands the return for taking risks. He is a man of unbelievable talent, rarely shying away from a risk, and always ready to choose the path less taken.
