Terrible news ladies. Ryan Gosling is to move behind the camera when he makes his directorial debut in the new movie, How to Catch a Monster.
We are pretty devastated to hear that Ryan is taking his beautiful face off our screens (even for just one film), but news has emerged that the Oscar-nominated actor will be directing his Drive co-star Christina Hendricks in the new 'fantasy noir' film.
Penned by Gosling, the movie centres on Hendrick's character, a single mother of two who is caught up in a dark underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town.

At last year’s Toronto Film Festival, Gosling revealed his desire to start directing, telling IndieWire: 'I wanted to work with George Clooney on Ides Of March because he’s an actor turned director and I wanted to see that in action, and I’m learning a lot from Nicolas Winding Refn and Derek Cianfrance.
'I’m just basically trying to treat it as a film school for myself right now before I start making my own films — not to undervalue the movies themselves, I want to see those movies so I’m making them — but I’m also trying to get as much out of them as I can before I kind of transition out of this and into that.'
