Robin Williams and Toni Collette will star in the adaptation of Armistead Maupin's novel The Night Listener for Hart Sharp Entertainment, according to Variety.

The film centers on 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.

Helmer Patrick Stettner ("The Business Of Strangers") will direct the pic, which goes into production next month.

Sandra Oh, Rory Culkin and Joe Morton are also in talks to join the cast.
