LOS ANGELES, 22 JULY

Actor Katie Holmes will be reuniting with her 'Dawson's Creek' co-star Joshua Jackson for the upcoming film 'Happy Hours'.

The actor will also write and direct the film, which is set to be part of a film trilogy. Holmes has previously directed 'All We Had', 'Alone Together', and 'Rare Objects', reported Deadline.

The 46-year-old is famous for starring in films like 'Batman Begins', 'First Daughter' and Ang Lee's 'The Ice Storm'. Jackson most recently featured in 'Karate Kids: Legends' and the series 'Doctor Odyssey'.

The other cast of the film includes actors Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr, Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin.

'Happy Hours' is described as a story about two people navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life’s inevitable obstacles.

Holmes and Jackson played Joey Potter and Pacey Witter in the teen series 'Dawson's Creek', in which their characters were entangled in a romantic relationship.

Production on the first film starts in New York City this summer, with the second and third instalments expected to follow.
