The Associated Press reports that "Everybody Loves Raymond" star Ray Romano and "King of Queens" star Kevin James are playing meat salesmen in a film due out next summer. The storyline will have them trying to meet their quote on the hottest day of the year.

"There's a great guy named Sonny who is the best salesman in California," Romano said. "We had a meat-ology class with him, and I kind of took things from him for my character."
