Defining Terms
"Yeah, I'm writing something. I'm going to direct it at the end of the year. And no, I haven't told anyone what it is yet. It's a comedy and a drama [book adaptation]. Think Thank You for Smoking, but instead of political it's corporate." -- a quote from Jason Reitman to MTV, posted earlier today. I've always been under the impression that Thank You for Smoking was both political and corporate, as the two being are obviously linked in all walks of life. A good portion of it was obviously about the corporate culture of the tobacco industry. Reitman probably means the new film won't have any Senator characters or scenes of Congressional testimony.

Thank You For Smoking was certainly both political and corporate...and pretty much perfect overall. I fucking love that film.

I think he means it won't have anything particularly interesting to say about the world.

You left out the best part...
Asked for the scene he can’t wait to see on the big screen, he could only grin. “Well, we’ve got Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried getting into a fight in their underwear. That’ll be fun.â€
