THE CREEK IS BACK!

On Thursday, 25th July, Dawson's Creek returned to our Australian television screens with SEASON FIVE! The anticipated wait was definitely worth it, with the show bringing in two new cast members - Busy Philipps (as Audrey) & Chad Michael Murray (as Charlie). 

'CAST Flick News'

JAMES VAN DER BEEK: James will hit our [Australian] cinema screens opposite 40 Days and 40 Nights star Shannyn Sossamon and 7th Heaven's Jessica Biel in The Rules of Attraction.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS: She just finished filming the feature The United States of Leland with Kevin Spacey, but she's also wrapped the English flick Me Without You, and Prozac Nation with Christina Ricci. Currently on a film break from Dawson's Creek, Michelle is starring in the off-Broadway play, Smelling a Rat.

JOSHUA JACKSON: Last year Josh made a cameo appearance in Ocean's Eleven, and he starred in The Laramie Project, a tele-movie based on the true story of the murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard. Coming up for Josh is Lone Star State of Mind alongside James King and Road Trip's DJ Qualis. Josh is also in talks to star in Child's Play 5 with Alicia Silverstone.

KATIE HOLMES: Currently filming Piece of April, Katie Holmes also has two other films wrapped up including the suspense thriller Abandon with Benjamin Bratt and Phone Bootm opposite Colin Farrell.

KERR SMITH: Kerr already has a film in the can, Pressure, and the character he plays is nothing like his Dawson's persona. "I play Jack McPhee nine months of the year," he says. "Anything else I do is going to differ from Jack - I can guarantee that!"
