I've heard of actresses researching roles, but Katie Holmes is taking it to the hilt. I don't know when the movie about a selfless robot mom trapped in a sexless marriage, hemmed by legalities will finally be released - but if Katie doesn't nab an Oscar, there will be no justice. Holmes graces the cover of Elle's upcoming "Hollywood" issue - and inside lurk some choice quotes:

[On family life: "In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it's like, 'How is everybody else doing?' And it's wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character."

On the genre of film she loves most: "It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies - they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I'm not interested."]

I'm not sure how giving up her life for everyone around her gives her something to bring to the table acting-wise - other than a blank slate. I guess that can be useful. Regarding the vampires, you may remember Tom Cruise's turn as Lestat in Interview With A Vampire. That's the one where he had to wear heels in order to compete with the virile sexuality of Brad Pitt. The more things change, the more they stay the same! On the upside, that is one cute hairdo Katie is rockin'. That would be one I'd be dying to try and end up hating on me - but she looks adorable. I assume we'll be seeing the same cut on Suri any day now...
