Cheryl Hines, Toni Collette, Maya Rudolph, and John Krasinski Join Cast of Sam Mendes Movie

Toni Collette, last seen mom'ing it up in Little Miss Sunshine, has joined forces with Saturday Night Live's Maya Rudolph, and The Office's John Krasinski for an upcoming, as yet untitled Sam Mendes relationship comedy. Mendes previously lensed Jarhead and is married to everyone's favorite English Rose, Kate Winslet.

Rudolph and Krasinki will play a married couple expecting their first child who are seeking the best possible location to raise their family. Collette portrays a close friend of the family, a college professor who possesses the cynical attitude that the child will turn out to be a mental mess no matter where it's brought up. Cheryl Hines of Curb You Enthusiasm will also star. Filming begins this month in Connecticut.
