Jason alerted you guys to the movie The Promotion last week, but we only had a poster and plot summary to show you.
Thanks to The Movie Blog, we’ve discovered that the trailer for the movie has been released and it’s pretty good. It definitely has an obvious indie feel to it that I totally dig. The cast is outstanding, from John C. Reilly and Seann William Scott, to Jenna Fischer and Fred Armisen.
Cinematical, which has a great indie section, has been raving about the film:
Written and directed by Steve Conrad (writer of The Pursuit of Happyness), The Promotion stars Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly as two guys who REALLY want to land the new managerial job at the supermarket across town. In fact, both will go to great lengths to get that job — and, while the premise sounds sort of played, silly and uninteresting, the execution is wonderful. This is truly one of my favorite films of the year so far, and we hope you like it too. Moviefone just premiered the new trailer (see above), and they did a pretty good job setting the film up for you, tone and all. As I’ve said, it’s Election set in a supermarket — so when you watch the trailer, keep that in mind.
I loved The Pursuit of Happyness, so I’m pumped about Steve Conrad writing and directing The Promotion. John C. Reilly is always, always good, and another movie with Jenna Fischer in it is worth it to me.
Looking forward to this one. It releases on June 6th.
Looks like it may have potential, but I’d say this one will have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

I will most likely watch it, especially since Jenna is in the movie. However, I agree with Scotty, will most like wait to rent it.
I’m with you Kory, having Jenna makes it appealing, but not $8 appealing.
