There are certain directors who are living legends walking among us: The Coens, Scorsese, Spielberg. Then there are the fast-risers who will likely be entertaining us for decades to come: Zack Snyder, Judd Apatow. And to that list, we officially have to add one Jason Reitman. And now, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker has revealed exclusively to MTV News what his next project will be. Well, kinda.

"Yeah, I'm writing something," he grinned, cryptically. "I'm going to direct it at the end of the year. And no, I haven't told anyone what it is yet." After a few minutes of poking and prodding, we finally got the Oscar-nominated "Juno" and "Thank You for Smoking Director" to cough up a wee bit more.

"It's a comedy and a drama [book adaptation]," he revealed. "Think 'Thank You for Smoking,' but instead of political it's corporate." Read more...

"[I'm hoping] we could do the mo-cap before the potential actors strike [June 2008]. I would then theoretically work on the animated part of it over the next couple of years." Read more...

By now, you might be feeling guilty this holiday season with the realization that you'd rather hang with the boundary-breaking family of "Juno" than your own. But that feeling might fade soon enough, as screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman are hard at work planning a follow-up that could make us all run and hide in the arms of a loved one.

"It's a horror movie, and it's also about teenagers," explained Cody, the white-hot writer currently accumulating awards nominations faster than Angelina Jolie takes in international babies.
