Ed Helms Joins Rudd and Poehler in THEY CAME TOGETHER

Ed Helms

will join the comedy

They Came Together

 from writer/director

David Wain 

(

Role Models

). He will star opposite

Paul Rudd

and

Amy Poehler

in the twisted romantic comedy about a a small business owner (Poehler) being crushed by a larger concern. Helms will take on the role of Eggbert, Poehler’s love interest and accountant in the film.

They Came Together

was written by Wain and comdeian

Michael Showalter

for Lionsgate. Filming is slated for July.

Helms will continue to keep busy before returning for another season of

The Office

, having signed on for a cameo appearance in the

Rawson Thurber

-directed comedy

We’re The Millers

, starring

Jennifer Aniston

and

Jason Sudeikis

. Helms will play Brad, Sudekis’ boss who may be hiding something nefarious and shady.

The new season of

The Office

begins shooting on July 30th. He’ll then shoot the third and final installment of

The Hangover

franchise on September 16. It's not everyday you can say you're excited for every project an actor has lined up, but I can say that for Helms. All of these comedies sound solid. Even though I absolutely felt cheated after watching

The Hangover 2

(it was a carbon copy of the first, and kind of ruined the originality of the first by rehashing so many of the same jokes), I'm trusting them when they say that they are going to change things up a bit for the third film. The story will be set in the characters' Los Angeles hometown, and will not focus on the forgotten-debauchery formula of the first movies.

What do you think of the projects Ed Helms has lined up?
