The Office / The Hangover‘s Ed Helms will star in the comedy Epic Fail set up at Lionsgate. Helms actually came up with the idea for the film along with Nicky Weinstock, and Mike Arnold and Chris Poole are attached to write the screenplay.
Weinstock’s Invention Films and Helms & Michael Falbo’s Pacific Electric Picture Company are producing the project.
The Plot: “In Epic Fail, an elite but highly unorthodox special forces team takes their dysfunction and excessive firepower on a desperate mission to save America, led by the only soldier more badass and more mustachioed than a Navy SEAL, The Walrus.”
Helms has They Came Together with Paul Rudd, Someone Marry Barry with Tyler Labine, and Stretch with Chris Pine coming to theaters in 2014. He’s also providing a voice in the animated movie Captain Underpants.
