Washington, Aug 28: George Clooney is reportedly in talks to star in ‘Up in the Air’, a film written by Oscar nominated ``Juno`` director Jason Reitman.

Clooney would play an unapologetic corporate axe-man whose unbalanced life revolved around collecting air miles, reports Variety.

The film is based on the Walter Kirn novel of the same name, which Reitman has adapted.

``Ghost Busters`` director Ivan Reitman, Jason`s father, will co-produce the film.
