Variety reports that New Line Cinema has recently acquired the rights to William Tepper’s script Men Don’t Quit with visions of casting “Everybody Loves Raymond” star Ray Romano and the star of “King of Queens” Kevin James.
James is already attached and Romano has been involved from the start but will not commit until everything is in place.
Romano and James, who are pals from the standup comedy circuit, will play friends who team as door-to-door salesman of bulk quantities of frozen meat. The boys are in a slump, and if they don’t move some beef on this particular day, they’re dead meat.
