Filming is set to begin for Katie Holmes’s new movie “Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark” which will be shot in Melbourne, Australia. As was already reported, we know that the set will be closed and security extra tight. Even if our curiosity might be wondering what the stars are up to, I think we can all agree having a little privacy from the paparazzi should help the actors focus without unnecessary distractions.
So far, information about the film is limited, but what we do know is that this is going to be a scary one! The story is about a young girl who goes to live with her father and his girlfriend, only to discover there are evil creatures living there too.
Katie is no stranger to scary movies with Disturbing Behavior (1998) and Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) two of her early starring roles. The only other cast member they’ve listed on IMDB (and even she is only ‘rumored’!) is the adorable nine year old Bailee Madison who you might remember from Bridge to Terabithia where she played Mary Beth Aarons.
Even though we won’t have access to the set, I wonder what attractions Katie and Tom will take Suri to while they are in Melbourne. It’s supposed to be a beautiful city!
“Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” is slated to be released in 2011.

i’m sorry, but what is the “news” in this post?
I read that Guy Pearce has been cast as Katie’s boyfriend in the movie. If, true, I’m really excited about it. He’s a wonderful actor.
@joji – hi there, I’m filling in for Julie so this was more ‘news’ for me..! hopefully we’ll see them out and about in Melbourne, but it’s just an update that they are there now…
@bambi – that would be very cool, wouldn’t it? he’s fantastic!
WAIT!!!! They are already in Melbourne???? I thought they were set to move there in August????
Tom and Katie have arrived in Melbourne, just saw a news update. I’m so excited!
@annie I saw that too! hopefully I will get access to more photos soon!
I’m still not overly thrilled about the film (would have preferred a “bigger” film) but I do feel better now that Guy Pearce has signed on along side Katie. He’s a good actor. I was afraid they’d get a lower level actor along with the first time director. Even tho it’s lower budget, they could really turn it into something really interesting. I’m cautiously optomistic!
Hi Rachel. Great job with the updates!
Thanks, Charlotte! I’m trying to keep up, but darn Julie sets a high bar!

Kate , thank you for the info. I think its great that Katie is involved in something like that . Is that Katie with the blue and yellow top, in the main pic, it is , isn’t it?
I am glad she is becoming involved with a foundation that supports the arts,
and this makes the performance even better because she is helping the foundation.
Thanks, kate! I’ll get to writing about it!
