Miramax Films has acquired the North American rights to the Hart Sharp Entertainment and IFC Films co-production, Night Listener, it was announced today from the Sundance Film Festival.
Directed and co-written by Patrick Stettner (The Business of Strangers), Night Listener tackles the narrative of Armistead Maupin's most haunting page-turner.
The story follows popular public radio storyteller Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams) who develops an intense phone relationship with a young listener named Pete (Rory Culkin) and the social worker who rescued him from a life of abuse (Toni Collette). But Gabriel soon comes to the startling realization that it is quite possible that neither the boy nor his painful account of his childhood really exist.
