“Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks is set to star in How to Catch a Monster, a sci-fi thriller written and directed by actor Ryan Gosling (Drive), who also co-produces through his Phantasma Films with Marc Platt Productions. Production is slated for Spring 2013.

Described as a modern day fairy tale with elements of “fantasy noir and suspense,” How to Catch a Monster finds Hendricks playing a single mother of two who follows her teen son to a secret under water city where women only wear bikinis (I lie because I wanna make you happy).

Hendricks and Gosling last worked together on director Nicolas Winding Refn’s stylish 2011 actioner Drive, about a getaway driver-for-hire who gets into trouble when he decides to take a risky job to help a mother and her young son. Hendricks played double-crosser Blanche.
