While Katie Holmes made her debut in the hit series 'Dawson's Creek', her career knew a booming period right before hooking up with the 'Mission: Impossible' and 'War of the Worlds' megastar. But, since then, she has been on a very long movie break, with rumors abounding that her better half is not willing to let her go back to work.
Actually, Katie said on a number of various occasions that she wants to take the reins of her career in her own hands, to be able to decide in which movies to star and in which not and to go back to work as soon as possible. In the light of the latest events, the latter is still a viable option but, as far as the other two go...
Tom Cruise is reportedly working on a project that would require them both to star in it and, at the same time, that would establish Katie as a household name, a serious actress. A source told 'Life & Style' Magazine that Tom is looking for something that would put the relationship he has with Katie in the best light possible while making full use of the chemistry the two share.
'He's devoting himself to putting together a project that will not only make Katie a bona fide star, but will put him back in the good graces of the movie-going public. This time, he's looking beyond the typical action roles. Katie is open to any project her fiancé puts forward, but is desperate to lose the "girl next door" image she gained from years starring as Joey in the TV show "Dawson's Creek"', the insider added.
