Astin, Weston, join 'Demoted'

HOLLYWOOD - Sean Astin, Celia Weston and Sara Foster are being promoted to work alongside Michael Vartan and David Cross in the indie comedy Demoted.

The feature centers on two tire salesmen (Astin, Vartan) who delight in playing cruel pranks on their co-worker (Cross). When the victim unexpectedly becomes their boss, he places the humiliated duo in secretarial jobs.

Foster will play the wife of Astin's character, who's tricked into believing he was promoted. Weston will play the head secretary who inspires the best friends to plot their revenge.
