He’s made a pie chart.
The colors of slices indicate how many of the reporters questions have been about the film, vs. Clooney vs. the U.S. economy vs. his Dad, legendary director / producer Ivan Reitman.
I remember seeing Jason at the screening of Thank You for Smoking where he talked about how he had gone off to medical school on the East Coast, thinking that’s what he ’should’ do—but he was miserable. His Dad told him to do whatever he loved—which happened to be the film industry—and the rest is history.
Jason Reitman brought us Juno. And Thank You For Smoking. And now, Up in the Air.
Don’t worry Dad. That East Coast education still paid off. Where else would you learn to do a pie chart?
