Katie Holmes is stepping behind the camera again. The “Dawson’s Creek” alumna and “All We Had” filmmaker is set to direct, co-write, and produce “Rare Objects.” She’s also set to topline the film adaptation of Kathleen Tessaro’s 2016 novel of the same name. Variety reports that production is currently underway in New York.
“Rare Objects” follows “a young woman with a traumatic past who seeks to rebuild her life when she begins working at an antique store. Receiving wisdom and guidance from the kind souls that own the shop, she gains a new level of confidence that will then be put to the test when those from her past draw her back into their world and challenge her fragile stability,” the source details.
Holmes’ Lafayette Pictures is producing alongside Yale Productions.
Earlier this year Holmes optioned “The Watergate Girl: My Fight For Truth and Justice Against A Criminal President,” former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks’ best-selling autobiography, with plans to produce and star in a feature adaptation of the project. The “Batman Begins” actress made her feature directorial debut with 2016 mother-daughter drama “All We Had.” “The biggest challenge in making this film was stamina. Directing and acting at the same time requires an extra amount of energy than just acting,” she told us ahead of the pic’s premiere at Tribeca Film Festival.
“The Secret: Dare to Dream” and “Brahms: The Boy II” are among Holmes’ recent acting credits.
