It looks like Christina Hendricks might be starring in another Coming Of Age tale as it was revealed that she is in negotiations to star in MEASURE OF A MAN, a new film directed by Terry Loane and written by A SINGLE MAN’s David Scearce. Adapted from the novel ONE FAT SUMMER by Robert Lipsyte, it follows a young bullied teen (set to be played by Riley Griffiths) who is trying to grow up but gets guidance from a reclusive Wall Street executive who gives him a summer job. Hendricks will play his mother, who finds her marriage hitting a rough patch sparked by her independence and a new career path.
Hendricks has broke free from her MAD MEN image to become the new face of the big screen. Some of her recent credits include Chris Colfer’s coming of age tale STRUCK BY LIGHTNING and more recently Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut HOW TO CATCH A MONSTER.
