Eva in Ryan’s directing debut
Eva Mendes has joined the cast of her boyfriend Ryan Gosling’s film How to Catch a Monster.
The Ghost Rider actress and actor/musician Rob Zabrecky have been cast in the movie, which marks the Drive actor’s writing and directorial debut, according to Bloody-Disgusting.com.
The pair will join previously announced stars including Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks and Dark Knight Rises actor Ben Mendelsohn in the picture, a dark fairy tale about a mother of two named Billy (Hendricks) who is swept into a macabre fantasy underworld after her teenage son, Bones, discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town.
Mendes will play a character named Cat, who is a "prominent" member of a gang, the Big Bad Wolf Club. Meanwhile, Zabrecky will play a cab driver.
The movie reunites Gosling with his Drive co-star Hendricks and producer Marc Platt, whose Marc Platt Productions will produce the film along with Gosling’s Phantasma Films and Bold Films.
Gosling previously said: "I am very appreciative to Marc Platt, Adam Siegel and Bold Films for being so supportive and I look forward to making this film with all of them."
Platt added: "We are thrilled to be producing Ryan Gosling’s debut as a writer & director and continue our collaboration which began on Drive. He has composed a beautifully haunting script and has a very clear vision of how he will bring it to life. His ability to draw audiences into his world as an actor will serve him well as a filmmaker."
