Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut, How to Catch a Monster, is quietly headed our way and it’s definitely an intriguing sounding flick. Deadline reports that Warner Bros has just picked up the rights to the film as shooting is currently underway with the gorgeous Christina Hendricks (below) as its leading lady. We all know how talented Gosling is in front of the lens so it’s going to be rather interesting to see just what he comes up with as he takes a seat behind the camera for the first time.
He has also written the film which goes something like this:
Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city where Billy (Hendricks), a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive

That sounds like a difficult film to direct for a first-time director. Definitely looking forward to it, though. 🙂
Yea it really does sound like it’ll be tough but that’s part of what’s so interesting about it. Sounds cool tho!
This got me all excited now.. damn. *Gosling-fever*
Lol yea no doubt. He’s a great in front of the camera so it’ll be interesting to see what he does behind it. I’m sure it’s going to be fantastic tho.
Ben Affleck makes a good director so why not Gosling.
This is true!
Oh wow! First time I’ve heard about this. Excellent!
Glad to be able to shed some light on it. Definitely worth keeping an eye on that’s for sure!
I’m so excited for this movie. Saoirse Ronan is in too, which is great, but Hendricks is just incredible.
Yea the cast is pretty much spot on. It’ll be interesting to see where this one goes, especially with Gosling behind the camera. Big fan of Hendricks on Mad Men so it’ll be nice to see her in a starring role.
