Christina Hendricks Cast in A Book of Common Prayer Movie
6 March 2013 9:30 AM, PST | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Christina Hendricks will star in Campbell Scott's film adaptation of Joan Didion's novel A Book of Common Prayer. According to Variety, Hendricks has signed on to play Charlotte Douglas, an American woman who finds herself in the fictional Central American country Boca Grande, hoping to find her 19-year-old political revolutionary daughter. Prayer does not really scream out for a movie version — so much of it relies on description and narration, which tend not to translate well — but Joan from Mad Men doing Joan Didion is pretty damn promising. »

Christina Hendricks to Headline A Book of Common Prayer
5 March 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
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 »

Actor-turned-indie filmmaker Campbell Scott has signed on to direct and star in an upcoming adaptation of the 1977 novel “A Book of Common Prayer” by Joan Didion.
