Oh you read that that right! Today we’ve got our first look at MISS MEADOWS that debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival and stars Katie Holmes as a kind kindergarten teacher, who’s also (seemingly) some kind of vigilant as well!
Written and directed by Karen Leigh Hopkins, it’s probably about time that Holmes took something different on and surely this leap will garner her a little more respect in the field. She’s considered to lack a little conviction with her roles but I actually didn’t mind her at all in BATMAN BEGINS, but it’s been a long time since GO (1999), when all that raw talent bubbled to the surface.
In MISS MEADOWS, Holmes plays the title role, an elementary school teacher (Primary School for the UK) who helps the community and loves her garden. However, at night she’s seeking retribution and keeping the peace in her own gun-toting way. This first look probably shows too much and suggests a back story, which I don’t think any trailer needs, but still perks the interest. Anyway, it’s kind of different and at this stage there’s no way of knowing whether it’s good or a little low-budget film-a-month John Cusack/Nick Cage style.
This one co-stars James Badge Dale and Callan Mulvey, it opens in the US on limited release from November 14th. Check it out and see if you’re also thinking Desperate Housewives/Mary Poppins on a secret drug trip:
