Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire is in talks to produce and star in New Line's Quiet Type, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie will see Maguire play a mute who moves to New York to fulfil his ambitions of conducting an orchestra.

Michael London (Sideways) will produce alongside Maguire, who will begin filming for Steven Soderbergh's The Good German this summer. He also recently signed up to star in Tokyo Sucker-Punch, based on a novel by Isaac Adamson.
