Up In The Air Deleted Scene: Ryan Bingham Goes To Space

During the filming of Jason Reitman's Up in the Air, I saw a set photo where George Clooney was dressed in a full-on NASA space suit, walking in an airport. That scene didn't make the final film, and I've always wondered what it was about, and where it fit. Up in the Air hits DVD and Blu-Ray on March 9th (On Amazon: $27 for Blu-ray, $17 on DVD), and we've been given a look at the deleted scene in question, in which Ryan Bingham goes about his disconnected routine in a spacesuit. You can watch it now, embedded after the jump. Of course, I wouldn't recommend watching the clip unless you've already seen the film, as the deleted scene in question was to be set late in the film.

I actually really dig the segment on its own, but I can see how it would have felt too on the nose at that point in the film.

Here is information on the home video release:
