(For the city, see Cedar Rapids, Iowa.)
Cedar Rapids is an upcoming film directed by Miguel Arteta which stars Anne Heche, Ed Helms, John C. Reilly and Sigourney Weaver. It is being filmed in Ann Arbor and in Pittsfield Township in the fall of 2009.
The movie is set in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but film production moved to Ann Arbor as a stand in for the Iowa city because of the end of tax incentives for movie production in Iowa.

In the news
- Cedar Rapids' Ann Arbor Premier in Pictures, Damn Arbor, January 2011
Overall, the movie was pretty damn funny and painted Midwesterners as loveable, good-natured, and somewhat naive. Spoiler alert! John C. Reilly is topless more often than not in the movie, so if that's a turnoff then you might want to skip Cedar Rapids when it makes its way back to Ann Arbor in early March.
"Cedar Rapids" — upcoming movie comedy that shot in the Ann Arbor area for seven weeks late last year — has released an online trailer.
