The new film "Cedar Rapids," starring Ed Helms from "The Office" and "The Hangover," features a skyline shot of Philadelphia, that's supposed to be Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 25 seconds into its trailer, which the One Rude Dude blog noticed yesterday. We've embedded the trailer below for the film which opened in theaters Friday. A film spokeswoman did not immediately return an inquiry as to why Philadephia is subbing for Cedar Rapids in the trailer or whether the same shot, which the blog surmises is from before 2008 as it doesn't feature the Comcast Center, actually appears in the film as well.
this was a clever and sweet movie, too bad the botched the trailer— MagnusUnda- That movie looks promising, but in what universe could someone think that the Philly skyline would be a good substitute for Cedar Rapids???— Tartan69
In my boxed set of the wire, one of the writers was waxing poetic on being real as a key their artistic triumph and then they show Philadelphia downtown, shimmering in the night time sky scraper light, instead of scrappy Baltimore. Real Real.
