Ed Helms to ride the 'Rapids'
By Adnan Tezer Jul 17, 2009, 18:35 GMT
Ed Helms will follow "The Hangover" with "Cedar Rapids," an Alexander Payne-produced comedy to be directed by Miguel Arteta.
According to Variety, shooting will begin in October, when Helms is on hiatus from the NBC sitcom "The Office."
Helms will play a sad-sack insurance agent who goes to an industry convention to try to save the jobs of his colleagues. The script was written by Phil Johnston, who developed it with Helms.
Several distributors are vying for the film, but the deal is expected to go to Fox Searchlight, which distributed the Payne-directed "Sideways."
Payne is producing with Jim Burke and Jim Taylor through their Ad Hominem Enterprises banner. Helms is executive producer.
