Katie Holmes to Star in Guillermo del Toro Thriller

Variety reports that Katie Holmes is taking the lead role in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, a film Guillermo del Toro is producing for Miramax. The film is the remake of a 1973 ABC tv movie.

The film will shoot this summer in Melbourne as a "Guillermo del Toro Presentation."

"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" is based on a 1973 ABC telepic about a young girl who moves in with her father and his girlfriend and discovers they are sharing the house with devilish creatures.

Nixey, a comicbook artist, is making his feature directing debut. Del Toro sparked to "Latchkey's Lament," a Nixey-directed short that captured the tone del Toro wanted for "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."

The "devilish creatures" are certainly a fit for Guillermo del Toro. There's another story about the remake here on deltorofilms.com, a detailed Guillermo Del Toro fansite.
