‘Happy Hour' Movie News: Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes Reunite
On the off chance you don't know, Katie and Joshua famously worked together on Dawson's Creek for five seasons—from 1998-2003. They dated IRL off-screen and on-screen as Joey (Katie) and Pacey (Joshua) and became one of the most iconic TV couples of the late '90s and early aughts. So, yeah, seeing them finally reunite on screen is a pretty big deal.
Katie announced the news on Instagram, writing in part, 'Working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship.' Fellow Dawson's Creek alum Busy Philipps commented on the post, 'we are seated. 👏👏👏.'
According to Deadline, Happy Hour is a romantic dramedy about a couple—played by Katie and Joshua—who are 'navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life's inevitable obstacles.' No, it's not an official Dawson's Creek sequel. But, the outlet did specify that the couple are 'young loves who reconnect as adults.' Sounds pretty Joey and Pacey coded to me!
Katie and Joshua will be joined by Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson, and Jack Martin.
There's no word yet on when Happy Hour will hit theaters, but filming has officially begun, giving fans plenty of first look pics at Katie and Joshua walking through the streets of New York City, looking like Joey and Pacey together again.

James Van Der Beek Pays Tribute to Wife Kimberly Amid Cancer Battle: ‘Saved My Life'
James Van Der Beek shared a heartfelt tribute to his wife Kimberly as they celebrated their 15-year anniversary amid his cancer battle. Posting via Instagram on Friday, August 1, James, 48, gushed over his partner and credited her for all her support, especially since his diagnosis in 2023. '15 years ago today, this woman agreed to be my bride,' James captioned a photo of the couple. '@vanderkimberly you are the most extraordinary human I've ever met. One day I'll tell the story of what you've endured these last two years and how you've shown up, time and time and time again. You have not only saved my life… you've shown me what it is to live.' He continued, 'There are no words for how much I love and appreciate you. I could not do this without you.' Concluding the caption, he added, 'Happy anniversary my love ❤️' James Van Der Beek's Wife Kimberly Sends Supportive Message After He Reveals Cancer Diagnosis The Dawson's Creek alum met Kimberly in 2009 during a trip to Israel and recalled the serendipitous meeting via an Instagram caption in 2020. 'I was in Israel, on a trip with an organized group, when it hit me: I was done being single. I wanted a real relationship. A soul mate. Someone with whom I could build a family. I was mid-revelation, rattling all this off to a friend of mine when a voice interrupted us, wanting to ask him a question,' James wrote. 'I was annoyed. Who the hell was stepping all over my moment? I turned around … it was @vanderkimberly.' The pair hit it off, and went on to wed in August 2010 in a small ceremony in Tel Aviv. Since then, they've welcomed six children together: daughters Olivia, 14, Annabel, 11, Emilia, 9, and Gwendolyn, 6, and sons Joshua, 13, and Jeremiah, 2. The actor first publicly revealed his cancer diagnosis in November 2024, sharing that he had stage 3 colorectal cancer. He had been battling the disease since being diagnosed in 2023. To mark his 48th birthday in May, James posted an Instagram video and admitted it had been the 'hardest year of my life' as he explained the effect his cancer battle has had on his family. James Van Der Beek and Wife Kimberly Van Der Beek: A Timeline of Their Relationship James explained that defining himself as a 'loving, capable, strong, supportive husband, father, provider, steward of the land' was central to his identity — and this was something thrown into disarray by his diagnosis. 'And then this year, I had to look my own mortality in the eye. I came nose to nose with death,' he said. 'All of those definitions that I cared so deeply about were stripped from me. I was away for treatment so I could no longer be a husband who was helpful to my wife. I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids and put them to bed and be there for them.' However, he concluded that he managed to realize he was still worthy of love and self-love despite this dynamic shifting.

Song Young-kyu, South Korean movie and TV star, found dead at 55: Reports
Song Young-kyu, a South Korean actor best known for his role as Chief Choi in 2019's South Korean box office hit "Extreme Job," has reportedly died. He was 55. An acquaintance found Young-kyu unresponsive inside a parked car the morning of Aug. 4, Variety and South Korean publication Yonhap News report. South Korean authorities do not suspect foul play and no suicide note was found, according to the outlets. Young-kyu, who was found south of Seoul in the city of Yongin, had recently been the subject of scandal when he was caught in a drunk driving incident in the same city in June, Deadline and Variety reported. The incident led to his removal from several mid-project stage and television productions. A staple in South Korean cinema, Young-kyu made his acting debut in 1994, launching a robust career that spanned both film and TV. Appearing in popular series like 2022's "Narco-Saints," a popular Korean Netflix original series, and Disney+'s "Big Bet," he was a reliable supporting actor, bringing both experience and consistency. Young-kyu was best known, though, for his role as Chief Choi in the action-comedy blockbuster "Extreme Job." In it, he appears as the head of a detective squad investigating narcotics on the low and running a fried chicken restaurant as a front. He appeared in the film alongside actors Ryu Seung-ryong, Lee Hanee and Jin Seon-kyu. It was a major box office success in the country and introduced a wider set of audiences to Youn-kyu's steady and masterful onscreen presence.
