Which Film Will Jason Reitman Direct After Up In The Air?

Whispers in Bedlam – Based on a short story by Irwin Shaw, this comedy is about a football player with hearing problems who receives experimental surgery and finds himself suddenly able to hear everyone talking from far distances. Written by Matt Spicer and Max Winkler (son of Henrey Winkler, co-writer of the upcoming comedy The Adventure’s Handbook). The story doesn’t immediately pull me in, but I’ve heard good things around Hollywood about Max Winkler.

And of course there is also the possibility that Jason might jump to direct something else entirely. Reitman was working on the script for Up in the Air when the opportunity to direct Juno suddenly presented itself. So you never know.
