Lily Collins, Kristen Bell, Logan Lerman, Nat Wolff, Liana Liberato, Rusty Joiner and Patrick Schwarzenegger have joined the cast of Josh Boone’s directorial debut Writers, which will also feature a cameo by author Stephen King as himself.

Judy Cairo of Informant Media is producing the indie pic, which starts production next week in North Carolina.

Greg Kinnear stars as a famous novelist obsessed with his ex-wife, who will be played by Jennifer Connelly. Collins co-stars as their collegiate daughter who’s pursued by a fellow writing student (Lerman). Wolff will play Collins’ young brother, who’s in love with Liberato’s character. Bell will play Kinnear’s friend with benefits who tries to help him get over his ex-wife.

The dramedy, penned by Boone, interweaves the stories of the family members and their love interests over the course of one tumultuous year.
