Anna Kendrick hits the red carpet in a classy white confection at the premiere of Paramount Pictures’ new movie, Up In The Air, held at Mann Village Theatre on Monday (November 30) in Westwood, Calif.

The 24-year-old actress has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for her role in UITA and exclusively had this to share with JustJared.com literally up in the air during a flight from NY to LA:

JJ: What was it like working with George Clooney? Did he pull any pranks on set?

AK: No - I think George understood that I was 23 and from Maine and never been involved in something this big and he went really easy on me. I think, you know, when you’re Matt Damon and Brad Pitt, you can handle being pranked. I think he knew I would’ve broken down crying and embarrassed myself!

JJ: What was your favorite prop from the set?

AK: Good question! I liked my computer. I got to be very mean to my computer - it was very serious typing. (During one scene, she bangs on the keyboard with her fingers.)

JJ: If you had a romantic storyline in another movie, who would you cast?

AK: Oh my goodness! Well, I’ve had a crush on Julian Casablancas from The Strokes since I was fifteen and they do that all the time, put musicians in movies, so I would cast him.

JJ: You started on Broadway in High Society - would you ever return to the stage, and what are your favorite musicals?

AK: My favorite Broadway musical is a show called Parade, which is really dark and there’s not even really a role for me in it, but I love, love, love that show! And I haven’t done it in so long - it’s sort of daunting - but every time I see a show, I want to be back on stage!

Up In The Air, which has garnered an impressive 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, opens in NY/LA this Friday (December 4) and everywhere on Christmas Day!
