Katie Holmes Compares Filming With Camping
Katie Holmes filmed "Days And Nights" really for days and nights, just like camp. The star is not complaining though, as it has been a film she has been waiting to do for quite a long time already. The former "Dawson Creek" star also shared what's special about the new film.
Katie Holmes shared about filming "Days and Nights" that it was like camping that is loosely adapted from Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull." She also shared that the location of the shoot was in a very small town and praised the coziness of the town.
"We were in Kent, Connecticut," Holmes said at a screening of the said movie at IFC Center Thursday. "There was this tiny little town with one chocolate store and a little tiny bookshop."
Director of the film, Christian Camargo shared to Page Six the fun they had in the location, doing things they could not ordinarily do in a studio environment. "We went swimming, we went canoeing, we had cookouts...It wasn't the sort of studio environment where everyone goes home, we were there the whole time," he added.
Katie Holmes might think that shooting the film made her feel like she's camping, but she's not complaining. It is something that she always wanted to and claimed that the story was very real. The characters in the movie were very unique and yet the script was very genuine. Speaking of the mother-daughter dialogues, the actress claimed that words exchanged on the film was honest. The actress shared that this is not always the case with other dialogues between mothers and daughters.
She liked the movie so much that she compared it to the films who inspired her when she was a kid, particularly "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and "Terms of Endearment."
Katie Holmes attended the premier night of the movie in New York City in a very simple and yet remarkable outfit. Sporting a skinny jeans and donning a blue blazer over a silky tank top, Suri Cruise's mom looked totally in her element. Aside from her occasional acting stints, Katie is also currently busy with her directional debut, "All We Had."
