Katie Holmes is trying them all. Having made a name for herself in front of the camera, the Giver star is making her directorial debut as she takes on the director’s chair for the upcoming movie All We Had , where she also plays the lead character. Holmes is also co-starring with Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds on Woman in Gold , a film based on the true story of a woman seeking revenge for what happened to her family during World War 2.
Needless to say, Katie is a very busy lady. However, despite projects piling up on her desk by the day, Holmes is still reportedly hoping to get back to her roots — playing Joey Potter on the hit 90s drama Dawson’s Creek. In an exclusive interview with Gossip Cop , Katie Holmes says she still finds requests to reprise her iconic role “hugely flattering.” Speaking on the show’s impact on its fans — most of whom are no longer teenagers — Katie says Dawson touched a “whole generation.”
“It was innocent at a time when innocence was very valued and present. But it had that teen angst that really revealed what everybody was going through.”
When asked why fans are still desperate for a Creek reunion, Katie Holmes says it may all have something to do with the audience’s nostalgic feelings for the show.
“Maybe we all want to feel those feelings again. I don’t know. Maybe that’s why they want a reunion.”
Fans were delighted to learn about Katie’s attitude towards a show reunion. Unlike Friends cast Jennifer Aniston and the rest of the gang — all of whom seem adamant NOT to reunite (except for a very recent Jimmy Kimmel skit that was critically panned, even by loyal fans) — Katie Holmes appears to be all in for a reunion, and at first glance, her statements actually seem to be hinting at something. Is a Dawson’s Creek 2.0 already in the works?
Sadly, The short answer to that would be a depressing little “no.” Despite Holmes’ enthusiasm for a show reunion, there hasn’t been any official confirmation for a get-together, either from Sony or the show creators. James Van Der Beek, who played the titular character, said in a January interview with Glamour that a show reunion isn’t in the works.
“No-one wants to insult the fans or take away anything. But the truth is, it’s not in the works.”
According to the Daily Mail , Katie Holmes is currently shooting a commercial in New York City.
