Bonnie Laufer spoke with Adam Sandler and Katie Holmes in Los Angeles about the perils of playing a woman, getting Al Pacino on board, and what happened on set when Tom Cruise called his wife while shooting “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.”
Katie Holmes stopped the GMA studios in Manhattan today for a quick one-on-one chat with host Robin Roberts. She’s in the Big Apple on a media tour following last weekend’s West Coast stops that included Jack and Jill‘s red carpet premiere.

Q: This film seems to be a departure for you having recently done more indie fare like The Romantics. What was your attraction to it?
KH: I was really excited to work with Guillermo. I loved the script, even though I was scared reading it, and I love these characters.
[I loved] Kim’s journey from resisting a relationship with Sally and then getting to the point where she could identify with Sally, and I loved that emotional tension and turning into a great emotional arch.
It’s nice to do something about something that scares you rather than just run from it and hope that someone saves you. It’s great to see on film, and it was really fun to portray.
Q: Kim seems to be frustrated with her relationship at first, and then she becomes the fierce protector.
KH: That’s what I really loved about her. One of my favorite scenes is at the end of the movie, when Kim is hurt and she wakes up and realizes that Sally’s in danger. Then you see her use all of her strength to do what she has to do.
I think that’s very real. I like seeing strong female characters and somebody who doesn’t run away screaming when she’s scared, but confronts the monsters. So I really enjoyed it.
Q: She begins the movie fearful that’s she’s going to be the unloved stepmother, but she becomes more of a parent to Sally than her actual parents.
KH: Right. It’s really about two human beings that recognize something of themselves in each other, and that shared a relationship that turns into something very special and powerful.
Kim has to learn not only to listen, but how to bring this little girl into her life and make her feel safe and then do the ultimate act of generosity. I love the relationship between Kim and Sally, and I love the bonding that occurs.
Thanks to our dearest Lolotte we have added in our gallery the scans of ELLE Magazine with our beautiful Katie. I love to receive this kind of donations from our members!
Katie Holmes didn’t feel like she had much of a choice when it came to taking on the starring role in Guillermo del Toro’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. As she told Charlie Rose last night, “When it comes to Guillermo, you say yes because it’s Guillermo — he’s incredible.”
