Katie Holmes became best know for being Tom Cruise’s wife for a while, overshadowing her performances in movies like Batman Begins, Thank You for Smoking and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.
However, the actress looks set to change all of that as she takes on a very different role in Miss Meadows. The movie will see Holmes play a sweet and inspirational school teacher…who just so happens to spend her evenings as a ruthless vigilante wiping out her small town’s scum, particularly those who harm children.
It’s a strange looking film in some ways, but one which has the potential to be something truly special. Based on some of her past roles, Holmes seems like an unexpected choice, but that too should help to separate Miss Meadows from any other similar normal person by day, vigilante by night type of releases.
Miss Meadows was written and directed by Karen Leigh Hopkins (Because I Said So), and it marks her directorial debut. It’s currently set for a limited US release on November 14th and should hopefully reach the UK shortly after. It also stars James Badge Dale (Iron Man 3) and Callan Mulvey (300: Rise of an Empire).
