Remember how we talked about this not so long ago and concluded that it would be complete, fresh awesomeness if the kids of ‘Dawson’s Creek’ did end up reuniting for a big-screen project? Because we did, and it would, and now you can thank Tom Cruise for trying to not let that happen. Us has an exclusive story that Tom wasn’t going to let Katie anywhere near the project, for fear of

From Us:

Audiences first fell in love with Katie Holmes as girl-next-door Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek, a role she relished for six seasons. But when Holmes was approached about possibly reuniting with her former costars James Van Der Beek, 35, and Joshua Jackson, 34, the actress’ husband, Tom Cruise, 49, nixed the idea.

“[Producers] were begging her to sign on for a reunion movie,” a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). “Tom said absolutely no way and thought going backward would be bad.”

Holmes, on the other hand, “didn’t care how ‘low-brow’ he thinks Dawson’s Creek is,” the source adds. “She wanted to do the movie and reconnect with her fans. And have fun — something she rarely does anymore.”

Yes, because that makes so much sense. Let’s completely put the kibosh on something that made us utterly famous to begin with, just so we don’t look like we’re going backward (like, you know, Tom’s age). And hanging out with that—ugh!—box-office magic/A-list queen Michelle Williams would probably completely destroy Katie’s reputation, merely by associating with her. It would *especially* be bad if Katie were to, you know, get out of the house and actually socialize with anyone aside from her soon-to-be-ex-husband and daughter, Suri. Bad, bad Katie. I don’t know what she could have been thinking even considering this project.

God. All I know is that I am so, so proud to live in a world where Katie Holmes is sticking it to this gigantor bag of busted dicks. Because Tom Cruise is a gigantor bag of busted dicks.

  • Then what did Katie marry him for? There are 2 sides to every story. But I guess in this situation it is only Katie’s side. I am team Tom for many reasons.

      • I would be surprised if a Scientologist had the username: “Karma.”

        But, yeah, I don’t know anyone who’s Team Tom Cruise about anything. Unless it’s a toss up between him and, like, Chris Brown. Or Hitler.

  • The guy who has been doing Mission Impossible movies for the majority of my life is worried about someone else working on a project at her career’s roots would be “going backwards.”

    Ugh.

  • Katie married Tom because she idolized him. She entered into his world expecting her career to take off through his connections. Instead, she ended up being a Scientology incubator, living separate lives, and finding her career railroaded by her husband. So she left him. Happens all the time.

  • By his own smug attitude and superior personality.. always stepping on the ladder to success ..he’s the dominate bully.. talking endlessly, in every possible way he’s right.. until you breakdown weary and zombified.. and you must give in for he will leave, he has to work after all.. he’s rich and famous.. then it’s your fault, you just won’t give and bargain, share the wealth and enjoy lovely elite lifestyle he provides.. he is such a..nice guy.
