Jason Reitman has Right of Way

The first time I heard of this guy I figured he was Ivan Reitman's son,which he is. But that Juno was just a rehashed version of Junior...which it basically was

'Juno' helmer Jason Reitman is hanging a new shingle: Right of Way Films. The West Hollywood-based outfit has a development partnership with Indian Paintbrush, the financing and production company headed by billionaire Steven Rales... The plan is for Right of Way to develop and package projects inhouse. Reitman says the films are intended to be directing vehicles for him, but some could become producing projects. On the slate are new scripts by Jenny Lumet and the Duplass brothers...Reitman is currently in post production on his latest film, "Up in the Air," which he adapted, directed and produced. The Paramount release stars George Clooney and preems at the Toronto Film Festival next month. Estabrook is an associate producer on the film. Reitman also produced Fox's horror comedy "Jennifer's Body," which was written by Oscar-winning "Juno" scribe Diablo Cody and stars Megan Fox. (Source Variety)

I think Reitman's a pretty cool dude, based on the work he's done so I wish him the best of luck and can't wait to see Up in The Air since it shot down here for a few days this year and Thank You For Smoking was so stellar.
