Bateman will play Clooney’s boss. Farmiga plays a businesswoman who develops a romantic relationship with Bingham through meetings in airports and hotels around the country, while Kendrick plays a new employee who invents a computer program which will allow Career Transition Counselors to work virtually from a central office (reducing the cost of travel expenses/time and downsizing the amount of jobs).

A few months ago I was lucky enough to read Reitman’s screenplay adaptation, and all I’ll say is that it’s one of the better scripts I’ve read in the last few years.
