Katie Homes has new role in 'Don't be afraid of the dark'

I’m really digging the fact that Katie Holmes is getting her work on! She has just wrapped up filming on the comedy “The Extra Man,” and word is she’s signed on to do a thriller!

Katie Holmes will star in “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” a thriller for Miramax Films that was scripted by Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins.

Del Toro is producing with Mark Johnson and the film will be directed by del Toro protege Troy Nixey. 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.

I would assume that Katie is the girlfriend not the young girl.
