Chris Klein and Brendan Fehr are teaming to star in the indie "The Long Weekend" for director Pat Holden. Shooting is scheduled to start in January in Vancouver.

Gold Circle Films is financing the comedy, with company topper Paul Brooks producing alongside Brillstein-Grey's

Peter Safran and Vin Di Bona Prods.' Vin Di Bona.

Penned by Tad Safran — brother of the film's producer Peter Safran — the project centers on two brothers, Ed (Fehr) and Cooper (Klein). Uptight Ed has one weekend to save his career, but his babe-magnet brother has other plans for the weekend — to get his stressed-out brother laid.

Klein is repped by WMA, Brillstein-Grey and attorney Jason Sloane. Fehr is repped by WMA and management-production outfit Roar.

Gold Circle, the company behind the highest-grossing indie film of all time, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," most recently produced the upcoming films "Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood," starring Martin Short, and "Something Borrowed" starring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney.

Tad Safran also penned "With This Ring," set up at Senator International with Frank Coraci attached to direct.
