Variety says that Sigourney Weaver, John C. Reilly and Alia Shawkat are joining Ed Helms and Anne Heche in Cedar Rapids, the Fox Searchlight comedy to be directed by Miguel Arteta.

Written by Phil Johnston, who developed the comedy with Helms, the film is about a sad-sack insurance agent who goes to an industry convention to try and save the jobs of his colleagues.

Weaver will play Helms' former seventh-grade teacher.

Production on Cedar Rapids has already begun.
