Christina Hendricks to go from 60′s advertising to 60′s protests in “Bomb”

“Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks is going from one sixties set to another, as reports come out that she is in talks to appear in Sally Potter’s “Bomb”, an anti-nuclear movie also set in the decade of love, peace and protest.

Also starring Elle Fanning, Alice Englert and Alessandro Nivolo, who all signed on back in November, the film follows a rebellious teenager (Fanning) “who wants to save the world from nuclear annihilation, but as the cold war meets the sexual revolution, it’s her family that threatens to explode.” Nivolo will play Fanning’s father, a charismatic writer in London who has an affair with his daughter’s best friend (Englert), straining their relationship. No word from Britain’s Daily Mail on which role Hendricks will be playing, but the paper does report that Annette Bening is also considering a role, so perhaps these two actresses will play the young girl’s mothers.

Production is due to start in mid February in London and the South East coast of England. Hendricks was recently seen alongside Sarah Jessica Parker in “I Don’t Know How She Does It” and Ryan Gosling in critically acclaimed arthouse actioner “Drive”
