Paper or plastic? It may seem like a difficult decision, but in the upcoming release of the comedy THE PROMOTION, two rival employees will make it clear which choice is the best choice. Starring Academy Award® nominee* John C. Reilly (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby) and Seann William Scott (Mr. Woodcock, American Pie franchise), this hysterical story will debut on DVD September 2nd from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company.

THE PROMOTION highlights the dog-eat-dog world of middle management at a local grocery store in Chicago . As a new addition to the neighborhood, two men are jumping on the opportunity to gain a coveted managerial position at the store. As assistant managers, Doug (Scott) and Richard (Reilly), both think they are the most deserving but each are more than aware that only one man will earn the new title.

THE PROMOTION also stars Emmy® nominees Jenna Fischer (Blades of Glory, “The Office”) and Lili Taylor (The Notorious Bettie Page, “State of Mind ,” “Six Feet Under”) as the twosome’s wives, and also features a cameo by Jason Bateman (Juno, Hancock). An official selection of the 2008 SXSW Film Festival that also marks the feature film directorial debut of writer Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness, The Weatherman), who also penned the film.
