LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Ryan Gosling will be making his directorial debut with How to Catch a Monster, a film he also wrote, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Gosling said in a statement: “I am very appreciative to [producers] Marc Platt, Adam Siegel and Bold Films for being so supportive and I look forward to making this film with all of them."

The film is about Christina, a single mother, who is “swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town.”

It's not clear whether Gosling will star in the film as well, but Christina Hendricks, who co-starred with him in Drive, has reportedly been given the main role in the project.
