Katie Holmes Is Afraid of the Dark
It was only a matter of time before Katie Holmes got in touch with her Dark side.
She of the rolled jeans and fashionista toddler has signed on to star in Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, a thriller written by Pan’s Labyrinth and Hobbit mastermind Guillermo del Toro.
A rep for Mrs. Tom Cruise confirmed the casting to E! News.
The adrenaline-pumping flick is based on a TV movie that aired on ABC back in 1973, which centered on a girl who moves in with her father and his girlfriend, only to realize that they are not the only occupants of the abode.
Holmes will be heading Down Under, to the land of the former Mrs. Cruise, for the project: The film shoots this summer in Melbourne.
In the day’s other casting coups, Robert De Niro is talking to Edward Norton (again); James McAvoy, Elizabeth Banks and Laura Linney get blacked out; Dwayne Johnson is a Fast talker; Steve Coogan and Rosario Dawson get mythic and Christopher Walken gets, well, Val Kilmer.
