Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut went into production under the title How To Catch A Monster, but now it’s known as Lost River, and it will be making its debut at the Cannes Film Festival next month.

Ahead of that comes the first picture from the film, featuring Christina Hendricks going into a rather ominous looking building.

The film has been described as being ‘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 BONES, her eighteen-year-old 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.’

Iain De Caestecker, who co-stars in the movie told Empire last year, “There’s my character, Bones, his mother and his younger brother. There’s also a girl next door played by Saoirse Ronan, called Rat. It’s about this family living in a town called Lost River, which is perhaps a place that was once full of family and happiness and love, and is now this town that’s slowly descending into a place without any hope. This family is holding onto the foundations of their house and everything they think they need to hold onto.”

Matt Smith, Ben Mendelsohn, Barbara Steele and Eva Mendes also star.
