Ben Mendelsohn will join Christina Hendricks in Ryan Gosling’s directing debut, “How to Catch a Monster”.

Mendelsohn worked with Gosling on “The Place Beyond the Pines” and, as it would seem, made quite the impression on his co-star.

“Monster”, said to be somewhat of a dark fairytale, tells of a mother (Hendricks) and her two sons, one of whom discovers a secret underwater town. With mother in tow, young Bones enters the dark, macabre place he’s stumbled upon.
