 Williams is the Man
 
 Robin Williams will star for Barry Levinson in the Morgan Creek-produced Man of the Year. It will mark the third time they have worked together, as Williams previously starred in Good Morning, Vietnam and Toys. Based on a screenplay Levinson wrote, the movie will have Williams playing a Jon Stewart-esque talk show host who runs for president in an attempt to stir things up on the campaign trail. It all backfires, of course, when he actually wins.
