"Christina Hendricks has revealed that she was &amp;quot;flattered&amp;quot; when Drive co-star Ryan Gosling approached her to play the lead in his new film.  Hendricks is set to star in Gosling&amp;#039;s writing and directorial debut How to Catch a Monster.    Gosling apparently contacted Hendricks earlier this year saying that he had written a screenplay with her in mind.  The Mad Men actress told Vulture that his request was &amp;quot;very heartwarming and the biggest compliment ever&amp;quot;.  She added: &amp;quot;He sent the script over in this cool box with an interesting little key, and cool artwork in it.  &amp;quot;It was like the full package! And then I read the script and was in love with it, so I called him back and said, &amp;#039;Yeah, please&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  Hendricks will play a struggling mother-of-two, whose children find themselves on a strange adventure in an underground city.  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what the exact budget is, but I think we&amp;#039;ve got a nice amount,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sure it will be incredibly clever, and Ryan already has storyboards and pictures of neighbourhoods and homes, and he&amp;#039;s already collecting music for it... when you read it, it gives you the feeling, maybe, of a memory. Something from your childhood that you can&amp;#039;t really pinpoint.&amp;quot; How to Catch a Monster is expected to release in 2014.
