Real quick now, because these two individuals deserve it, according to Hollywood Reporter, Oscar nominee John C. Reilly has signed on to star in CEDAR RAPIDS for Fox Searchlight, already starring Ed Helms who successfully cracked us up this summer in The Hangover.
Directed by Miguel Arteta, written by Phil Johnston, it is an ensemble road-trip comedy about 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.
Reilly plays a family man, who attends the conference and sees it as a vacation and time to let loose.
This should be an interesting concept, two guys with two different perspectives about the event. I’m thinking one is bumbling, nervous, and in awe while the other is laid back and happy-go-lucky
But I’m still waiting on Reilly returning to musical drama again, the man is too talented to just get stuck in comedy (Walk Hard, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, The Promotion)
