Christina Hendricks won't be playing the role of a stripper in Gillian Flynn's movie "Dark Places."
We'll give every man in America a moment to wipe away the tears.
Hendricks was first assigned the supporting role of a stripper, but according to Deadline.com, the "Mad Men" star will now play Charlize Theron's mother instead.
Actress Samantha Morton was originally assigned to play the mother, but had to cancel her involvement in the film.
Production officials for "Dark Places" released a plot summary of Flynn's latest:
Dark Places tells the story of Libby Day (Theron), a woman who, at the age of seven, survives the massacre of her family and testifies against her brother as the murderer. Twenty-five years later, a group obsessed with solving notorious crimes confronts her with questions about the horrific event. Told in a series of flashbacks from the points of view of Libby's mother, Patty, and her brother, Ben, Libby is forced to revisit that fateful day and begins to question what exactly she saw-or didn't see-the night of the tragedy.
The film will be released in 2014, and also stars Chloe Moretz, Corey Stoll, Nicholas Hoult and Tye Sheridan.
Hendricks is getting ready to film the final season of "Mad Men," in November. She told the Associated Press that it'll surely be the toughest thing she's ever had to say goodbye to.
"I just want to milk it as long as possible," Hendricks, who plays boss lady Joan Harris on the AMC drama, said. "I want to really enjoy this last season every second that I can because it's been a really special time for me and a really special show."
