Toni Collette has nabbed the rights to Graeme Simsion’s novel and screenplay for “The Best of Adam Sharp,” Deadline reports. The romance marks Collette’s first project under her newly-launched production company with Jen Turner, Vocab Films.

Published earlier this year, “The Best of Adam Sharp” centers on an unhappily married man who’s nearing 50. Adam “can’t quite forget a romance he had 20 years ago with an intelligent and strong-willed woman named Angelina Brown who taught him what it meant to find — and then lose — love,” Deadline summarizes. “He wonders how different his life would be if he hadn’t let her go. Out of the blue, he gets a one word email from Angelina. He responds and his life takes a significant turn.”

Golden Globe and Emmy winner Collette would take on the role of Angelina. She previously served as a co-executive producer on “United States of Tara,” a Showtime series she also starred in about a woman with dissociative identity disorder. The show was created by “Juno” screenwriter Diablo Cody and ran from 2009–2011.

“I’ve recently realized that I really am a feminist,” Collette said in 2013. “For years people would say to me, ‘You are! You are! You really are!’ And I’d say, ‘No, I’m not. I’m a humanist. I think it’s sexist to say I’m a feminist.’ Now, I see a great imbalance not only in my industry, but also in the world at large. I want to change it,” she explained.

Collette received an Oscar nomination in 2000 for “The Sixth Sense.” Her other credits include “Miss You Already,” “Little Miss Sunshine,” and “Muriel’s Wedding.”
