American actress Katie Holmes has signed on to star in the movie adaptation of Kathleen Tessaro’s novel of the same name, "Rare Objects".
Holmes will also be directing, producing, and co-writing the movie. Phaedon Papadopoulos co-wrote the script.
"Rare Objects" began production in New York with Yale Productions and Holmes’ own Lafayette Pictures producing the movie. Holmes launched the production company back in June.
It will also be produced by Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman, Mark Maxey, and Jesse Korman of Lafayette Pictures with Shaun Sanghani of SSS Entertainment.
The movie centers around a young woman with a traumatic past who seeks to rebuild her life. She begins working at an antique store and gains a new level of confidence, however, her past catches up with her.
This is not the first time for the actress to be in the director's chair, as she has directed the 2016 movie "All We Had", which revolved around a struggling mother trying to make a better life for her daughter.
Lafayette and Yale are also collaborating with Holmes on the movie "Alone Together".
The movie is currently in post-production and also stars Jim Sturgess, Derek Luke, and Melissa Leo. It follows two strangers in bad relationships that end up at the same upstate New York Airbnb.
