Great Cast

This may just be the oddest description of a movie I've read in a while:
Queen Latifah and Emma Thompson are joining Will Ferrell in "Stranger Than Fiction," director Marc Forster's follow-up to "Finding Neverland."

Ferrell plays an obsessive/compulsive IRS auditor who begins to hear a voice that turns out to be an author who is writing a novel in which Ferrell is the ill-fated protagonist. The auditor heeds the narrator's advice and turns his life around. Thompson is in final negotiations to play the author suffering from writer's block, while Latifah would play a book-company employee whose job is to unblock writers. Maggie Gyllenhaal, star of the Sundance opener "Happy Endings," signed on this week to play Ferrell's unlikely love interest, a baker with anarchist leanings.

This sounds awesome!
