Ben Mendelsohn Joins Christina Hendricks In HOW TO CATCH A MONSTER

MovieHole reports that Aussie actor Ben Mendelsohn (Dark Knight Rises, Animal Kingdom, Killing Them Softly) has joined Ryan Gosling's directorial debut How To Catch A Monster. The two recently worked together on the crime thriller A Place Beyond The Pines. Christina Hendricks (Drive) also stars in the film as the lead character Billy.

How To Catch a Monster weaves elements of fantasy noir, and suspense into a modern day fairytale. Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, Billy, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive.

Ben Mendelsohn Wants To Play Doctor Doom

20th Century Fox should really take notice to this recent comment from Aussie actor Ben Mendelsohn (Dark Knight Rises, Animal Kingdom, Killing Them Softly, The Place Beyond The Pines) who announces his dream role would be Doctor Doom to CityWeekly (via CBM). The iconic Fantastic Four villain was never done right in the original franchise so here's hoping Fox will take a little more care when re-casting for the upcoming reboot.

“I’d do anything to play Doctor Doom. I love the Doctor.”

Ben Mendelsohn Revealed In New 'DARK KNIGHT RISES' Trailer

It looks like we have yet another stunning surprise from Christopher Nolan as Aussie actor Ben Mendelsohn appears in the new Dark Knight Rises trailer. It hadn't been reported he even was apart of the cast. We should expect a large number of these sort of cameos popping up. Since I'm sure a lot of these cameos were done as a favor to Nolan or actors just wanted to be involved in the final film. During the screening of the opening scene it was also revealed that Irish actor Adian Gillen best known for series like The Wire and Game of Thrones would have a small part as a CIA agent.
