A Forlorn-Looking Katie Holmes & Her Stuffed Lion

Um, what else is there to say?
Monday, March 9th, 2009

Er … here are a few photos of Katie Holmes shooting scenes for her new movie The Extra Man which, apparently, call for the actress to roam the streets while carrying an extra-large stuffed lion:


Yeah, I dunno what the hell is going on either. But, these photos are too … odd … to not post. I assume that this scene will most likely make sense within the context of the film but I fail to envision what that sense may be. Mebbe Katie’s character is upset that she lost the AM radio she wanted to win at the fair and had to settle on this stuffed lion? Perhaps her character managed to escape a heist at FAO Schwartz but is sad cuz her partner wasn’t so lucky? Mebbe this scene is meant to portray some existential metaphor for one’s lack of courage in the face of overwhelming sadness? HMMM … what do y’all think this scene with the stuffed lion is meant to portray?

Katie Holmes Can Cry On Cue

Looks like she's had a lot of practice
Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Here are a few photos of Katie Holmes squeezing out a few tears on the NYC set of her new film The Extra Man that is filming this week in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York. As you can see, Katie seems to have gotten her hands on one of Angelina Jolie’s old costume from The Changeling and was hard at work filming a very emotional scene:


Oh yeah, she is really workin’ thru some stuff to get those tears a-flowin’ for this set. It’s like the director gave her a bit of direction right before he started filming … something along the lines of, “Now remember how nice and normal your life was BEFORE you met Tom Cruise and he wholly sucked the life force out of your every being and think about how you’ll never, ever get it back …. and … action!“ Hey, at least Katie has a lot of emotional stuff to draw from to be able to nail scenes like this. I’m so not a fan of period pieces nor am I really a fan of Katie Holmes movies (Mad Money? No thanks!) so I might have to pass on seeing this film when it finally hits theaters. I am curious to see more photos of her filming new scenes on the streets of NYC tho. I wonder what other emotions she’ll be bringing to the table as filming on The Extra Man continues in the weeks to come.
