Katie Holmes Joins “The Romantics”
November 2, 2009 by Julie Bonner
Now this is some very exciting news for TomKat fans and readers! Katie Holmes has been tagged to replace Liv Tyler for the lead role in “The Romantics”. Tyler left for an undisclosed reason.
This indie film has a star-studded cast, which includes Anna Paquin, Adam Brody, Josh Duhamel, Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood and Jeremy Strong.
According to Variety, the “Film revolves around eight friends from college who reunite for a wedding. Holmes, fresh off her role in Miramax’s "Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark," will play Laura, the maid of honor to Anna Paquin’s Lila, the bride. Laura and Lila are best friends who both have a past with the groom (Duhamel).”
Not only is Katie starring in the film, but she also came on as an executive producer. This marks Katie’s first producing credit!
This is shaping up to be a good year for Katie when it comes to movies!

This must be very exciting for Katie, to be exec producing as well as starring in the movie. I read that she is to start working on the movie next week in NY.
“I read that she is to start working on the movie next week in NY.”

So soon, annie? That’s really quick! I guess she and Tom will be separated for awhile again. Tom’s film is moving to Europe by November 15th (Spain and Austria) and then on to the Caribbean. They were apart alot when she was in Australia as well although Tom did visit a couple of times. They won’t be able to visit one another if they’re both working. I wish them the best of luck. Long separations are not great for a married couple. I wonder if Suri will go with Katie or stay with Tom. She went to Australia with Katie so maybe Tom will have her this time.
I’m pleased to hear that Katie is starring in another film though. This one sounds really interesting. Sorta like “The Big Chill”. I hear it’s filming in NYC and Maine. The producers credit is nice as well.
I read that she is starting next week too.
I actually read this at Variety.com a couple of months ago but she was staring with Liv and now she is replacing her and they did not list Adam Brody, Malin Akerman,and Elijah Wood.
I am so happy for her.
Katie Producing? Well…well… Anna Paquin is a great actress, can’t wait to see them together. Such a shame Liv pulled out though…she’s one of the best actresses around.
I’ve read that they will start next week also. Guess that means we’ll have tons of set pictures of Katie soon!
good news, and exec prodrucer??, well I always wacht in the credits “executive producer” but I’ve never put so much atention on that, so i was searching and the exec producer is like the “money person” he/she can be involve or not in the creative aspect of the film, but is it true????? or what is her job?????
They’ve started filming already.
Well she loves NYC so this will be great for her. I hope Suri stays with her as it is more stable in my view. It seems like this happened rather suddenly tho??
Your right Mary saw some pics already.
