Michael Vartan and David Cross will play bitter tire store rivals in the comedy “Demoted” for Parallel Media’s new genre arm Parallel Zide.
Vartan will play Rodney McAdams, a hotshot Treadline Tires sales associate who delights in tormenting his less-than-cool colleague, Ken (Cross). But when their boss suddenly dies, Ken is promoted and assigns Rodney to a secretarial job as payback, giving the male chauvinist a taste of his own medicine.
J.B. Rogers (”American Pie 2″) will direct from a screenplay by Dan Callahan. Warren Zide (”Final Destination”) will produce through Parallel Zide. Ryan Lewis is executive producing the feature, which begins production Sept. 2 in Michigan.
Vartan next stars opposite Dermot Mulroney in Dan Ireland’s “Jolene: My Life.” Cross can next be seen in Harold Ramis’ “Year One.”
