When the film – also written by Gosling – was announced last month, we were told the story was set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city where Billy (Hendricks), 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.
In her chat with Vulture, Hendricks somewhat repeats previously released details by saying her character is “supporting two children and trying to provide a home for them and a place of comfort in a continuously harder place to be. And I find myself working in this very surreal club that gets me into a sort of predicament, and in the meantime, these boys are off on their own adventures and they discover this underground city.”
When asked what kind of club her character, Billy, works out of, Hendricks responded, “Fetish.” Yeah, we can get behind that…
Gosling is currently in pre-production on the film. “I’m sure it will be incredibly clever, and Ryan already has storyboards and pictures of neighborhoods and homes,” said Hendricks, “and he’s already collecting music for it … when you read it, it gives you the feeling, maybe, of a memory. Something from your childhood that you can’t really pinpoint.”
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.
