This is kind of an odd combination: Katie Holmes will star in a thriller written by spooky creep-master Guillermo del Toro titled Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. The director is comic book artist Troy Nixey, whom Variety deems Del Toro's "protégé." Here's more:
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is based on a 1973 ABC telepic about a young girl who moves in with her father and his girlfriend and discovers they are sharing the house with devilish creatures.
Aside from her brief stint on Eli Stone last year and her role in the goofy 2008 comedy Mad Money, Katie Holmes hasn't done anything on the big or little screen since her 2005 roles in Thank You for Smoking and Batman Begins. She's in an upcoming movie opposite John C. Reilly and Kevin Kline titled The Extra Man, but that was about it — until now. Seems like Holmes is being particular about the roles she chooses, and I think she chose wisely with a project penned by Guillermo del Toro. What do you think about this news? Are you glad to see Katie Holmes taking more roles?
S***r
Katie, please put on your hubby's baggy jeans and take your kid to the park - or go out somewhere with Posh and Becks, but PURLEASE, save us all from your horrendous acting.
1well katie was really well known for doing indie things that were kind of dark so this doesn't seem that far off base.
2I don't know about this. Guillermo is a genius and I don't want her to ruin the possibility of this movie being great. I guess we'll have to see if she's up to it.
3Oh god, she has no talent.
4She's not a good actress, I feel the hand of Tom on this.
5She (stupidly) passed on the second Batman film and it was better without her.
I love Guillermo del Toro movies, I shudder at the thought of her starring in one.
6OH f*ck NO. WAY TO RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD GUILLERMO PROJECT.
Guillermo is way too good for you, Katie. Please vanish into the mist, never to be heard from again.
7The one saving grace is that Guillermo del Toro is not the 'hands-on' person for the film--he's given his name to the project but not much of his actual time.
8And that's very kind to say she is "particular" about the roles she chooses. LOL. (Just like she supposedly "chose" to do Mad Money instead of the Batman sequel...)
9i'm really excited about this movie, i hope katie does a decent job.
10oh, no!! big fan of guillermo del toro and don't think his films suit katie's, ahem, acting chops. i'm disappointed of the casting, but we'll see. maybe katie will surprise ...
11Is she seriously coming to Australia that is so fukin awesome Melbourne she will be in Melbourne i am like obsessed with her not like freak but she is the prettiest actress i've ever seen.
And Suri will be just as beautiful.
12sh*t! she's probably bringing Suri and Tom!!!
Looking forward to del Toto's take on this brilliant idea for a horror flick. When I was a kid I saw the version with Kim Darby. It scared the living daylights out of me. As an adult, I see its weaknesses from the obvious low budget.
13I'd really like to see a del Toro take on the book "The Descent" a rivetting read about the existence of hell
