- A COMMON PRAYER
 |
| Christina Hendricks |
Christina Hendricks is set to headline a Campbell
Scott-directed adaptation of Joan Didion's A Book of Common Prayer, Variety
reports.
The 1977 novel is officially described as follows:
"A Book of Common Prayer" is the story of two
American women in the derelict Central American nation of Boca Grande. Grace
Strasser-Mendana controls much of the country's wealth and knows virtually all
of its secrets; Charlotte Douglas knows far too little. "Immaculate of
history, innocent of politics," she has come to Boca Grande vaguely and
vainly hoping to be reunited with her fugitive daughter. As imagined by Didion,
her fate is at once utterly particular and fearfully emblematic of an age of
conscienceless authority and unfathomable violence.
In addition to her ongoing role on AMC's "Mad
Men," Hendricks will soon re-team with her Drive co-star Ryan Gosling for
his directorial debut, How to Catch a Monster.
