Variety reports that both, Robin Williams and Toni Collette have signed on to star in the adaptation of Armistead Maupin's novel "The Night Listener" for Hart Sharp Entertainment with Sandra Oh, Rory Culkin and Joe Morton all in negotiations to also join the cast.

Patrick Stettner is on to direct the film, which follows a popular radio show host who, while trying to cope with a splintering romance, strikes up a telephone relationship with his biggest fan. When disturbing questions arise regarding the boy's identity, his life spins out of control.

Maupin adapted his own novel into the screenplay and production is scheduled to begin next month in New York.
