Ed Helms (The Hangover) is bagging himself some projects. The latest in his bunch is an independent comedy called Cedar Rapids, a piece that could possibly end up in the hands of Fox Searchlight. Penning the script is Phil Johnston (Flightless Birds) along with Jim Taylor and Jim Burke producing. Miguel Arteta (Youth in Revolt) is set to possibly direct.
The story centers on a wholesome and naive small-town Wisconsin man (Helms), who, when his role model dies, must represent his company at a regional insurance conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where his mind is blown by the big-town experience. (THR)
