Katie Holmes to Write, Direct & Star in HAPPY HOURS Film Trilogy Opposite DAWSON'S CREEK Co-Star Joshua Jackson
Katie Holmes is taking on a big project with her upcoming film trilogy, Happy Hours, which she will write, direct, and star in, opposite her Dawson’s Creek co-star Joshua Jackson. Others in the cast include Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin. Production on the first film kicks off in New York City this summer, with the second and third installments scheduled to follow closely after.
Happy Hours is described as a story about two people (Jackson and Holmes) navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life’s inevitable obstacles. It’s a character-driven dramedy that explores the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss, and hope.
Holmes is known for her acting roles, though she has previously gotten behind the camera on indies including Rare Objects, Alone Together and All We Had, where she also starred. Both she and Jackson were part of The WB’s beloved teen drama Dawson’s Creek for all six seasons. Holmes was most recently seen guest starring alongside Natasha Lyonne in Poker Face Season 2.
Most recently seen headlining ABC’s Doctor Odyssey, Jackson also appeared in Karate Kid: Legends opposite Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio.
