Liev Schreiber and Toni Collette will star opposite each other in an upcoming film entitled 'Mental,' reports Variety.

The movie's plot is based on "a crazy hotheaded hitchhiker brought on to nanny five girls by their father, a philandering politician, after he hospitalizes his wife for a nervous breakdown."

Schreiber played the title role in Hamlet in a December 1999 revival at The Public Theater, and 2006, he played the title role in Macbeth opposite Jennifer Ehle at the Delacorte Theater.

In 2005, Schreiber won a Tony Award as Best Featured Actor for his performance in the play Glengarry Glen Ross. In 2010, he returned to Broadway in A View from the Bridge for which he received a Tony nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Play.

The movie is slated to begin filming next week and will be released in Australia and New Zealand. As of right now, there are no plans to distribute it in theaters in the United States.
