Parker Posey to Star in Untitled NBC Comedy Pilot

Parker has been cast in an untitled comedy pilot for NBC, which would mark her return to a regular television series since the short-lived FOX sitcom The Return of Jezebel James in 2008.

According to Deadline:

Posey is set as the female lead in the untitled DJ Nash comedy, about a son who idolizes his blind father and is bemused by his mother’s (Posey) newfound adolescence who watches his family come closer together post-divorce.

The article also mentions that this will be single-camera and Jason Bateman is an executive producer.

About PRICE CHECK:

Pete Cozy (Eric Mabius) has found himself a house in the suburbs and a job in the pricing department of a middling supermarket chain. Pete’s job allows him to spend quality time with his wife and young son and, despite the fact that they are drowning in debts, they appear happy. Everything changes when Pete gets a new boss, the beautiful, high powered, fast talking Susan Felders (Parker Posey). With Susan’s influence, Pete finds himself on the executive track.. Something that both surprises and excites him. The more his salary increases, the more he has to perform at work… and the less time he gets to spend with his family. At the same time, his relationship with his boss begins to cross the line of professional etiquette. Both become enamored with one another – creating tension in the workplace and in his personal home life. 

PRICE CHECK is a smart and honest comedy that examines who we think we are and what we’re willing to do for the life we think we deserve.

Parker Posey Film Festival in London

London is not only the host of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games right now, but will also be host to the very first Parker Posey Film Festival this September! 

On September 15th, the festival will be showing The Daytrippers, Best in Show, Scream 3, The House of Yes and will end the night with the UK premiere of Party Girl, to be shown in 35mm. I can only imagine the struggle it must have been for the festival directors to select which five films to show, but I think they’ve made some excellent choices here.

Tickets are not yet on sale, so I would check their site for more info and be sure to follow them on twitter at @ParkerPoseyFF for up-to-date information.
