The actor will play an unapologetic corporate downsizer who is obsessed with collecting air miles in the new comedy by Juno director Jason Reitman - reports Variety.com.
The film is based on the book by Walter Kirn. Reitman has been writing the script on and off for five years after becoming infatuated with the novel. He finally completed it just weeks ago, and it already looks like he has secured an A-list leading man.
