“Departed” hottie Vera Farmiga will use George Clooney as an overcoat in Jason Reitman’s “Up in the Air”, according to Variety.
The Paramount pic centers on a human resources exec whose only joy in life comes from the prospect of notching his millionth frequent-flyer mile, a goal he pursues with zeal as the rest of his life falls apart because he is constantly on the road.
Farmiga will play a businesswoman who develops a romantic relationship with Clooney’s character through meetings in airports and hotels around the country.
The pic, shooting in Feb, is based on the novel of the same name.
