Christina Hendricks is back! While the actress has been steadily working, she took a brief break to celebrate her engagement to George Bianchini back in March.
However, the actress' newest project has now been revealed, with the 47-year-old being tapped to lead an upcoming psychological thriller titled Reckoner.
Written and directed by Nissar Modi (his directorial debut), the film is based on a short story by Rachel Ingalls and will be sold by production company XYZ Films at the Cannes Film Festival later this month.
The plot deals with an affluent woman in good-standing who sees her life turned around by a young man who returns with a secret from her past she's worked to keep hidden.

In a statement, director Nissar said: "I'm delighted to be working with the immensely talented Christina Hendricks on this haunting tale of guilt, obsession and revenge.
"It's a film I've been envisioning for many years ever since I read Rachel Ingalls' remarkable short story, and am excited to finally bring it to life thanks to the ever-supportive teams at XYZ Films and Two and Two."
Christina shared the news herself on social media, posting a screenshot of the announcement on her Instagram Stories, indicating her excitement.
The actress is also looking to the release of the upcoming British period drama The Buccaneers, which she filmed in Scotland with her now-fiancé alongside her.
