Ed Helms signs on to Lake Bell's new comedy

US actor Ed Helms

Things are moving forward for actress, writer and director Lake Bell on her upcoming comedy, "What's the Point? (And Other Fair Questions About Marriage)," reports Deadline.

The production -- which stars Bell -- has signed Ed Helms ("The Hangover") and has received financing from Cold Iron Pictures and The Film Arcade, before it begins production in Los Angeles next month.

In the comedy, marriage is seen as something that should be a seven-year contract with the possibility of renewal.

The new comedy follows on the heels of Bell's "In A World...," for which she was awarded the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best First Screenplay.
