Theater veterans Toni Collette and Catherine Keener have joined the film cast for Nicole Holofcener’s as-yet-unnamed comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, which began shooting on Monday, centers on a divorced woman (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) who meets what is described as “the embodiment of her perfect self” (played by Keener).

The cast also features stage and screen star James Gandolfini, as well as Ben Falcone, Tavi Gevinson, and Eve Hewson.

Collette received a Tony Award nomination for her role in the musical The Wild Party and an Emmy Award for her starring role on Showtime’s The United States of Tara. Keener’s stage credits include a 2002 Off-Broadway revival of Burn This, and she received Oscar nominations for her performances in Being John Malkovitch and Capote.
