Jen Lindley is totally down for a Dawson’s Creek reunion.
At a Comic-Con press conference for Oz: The Great and Powerful Thursday, Michelle Williams — who played bad girl Jen on the beloved WB teen drama — was asked if she’d consider filming a Dawson’s Creek reunion special.
“I would very happily do a reunion show, I don’t know what it would be,” Williams, 31, told the crowd, laughing as she added, “My character died in the end, so there are certain limitations for me. It’s either I come back as a ghost or I’m shot through a lot of gauzy, hazy light as my nineteen-year-old self.”
Added the Take This Waltz star, “I’ve always said that I would really love to and I think independently, we’ve all been saying that. So at some point I hope that it does happen [as] . . . a way to honor the past and what a big deal it was for the four or five of us and what a big deal it was for the people who watched it.”
In addition to Williams, her costars James Van Der Beek and the newly single Katie Holmes have also expressed interest in reprising their roles on the hit primetime soap.
Last fall, Holmes, 33, told Good Morning America she’d jump at the chance to work with her former costars, calling them “a great group of people.”
“It would be fun,” the Holmes & Yang designer told Robin Roberts. “I had so much fun working on that show and I loved everyone so much and I think about it with such fond memories.”
Indeed, her split from Tom Cruise (the pair reached a divorce settlement Monday) may help pave the way for a reunion; while the couple was still together, Cruise, 50, forebode her from participating.
“[Producers] were begging her to sign on for a reunion movie,” a source told Us Weekly. “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 shared. “She wanted to do the movie and reconnect with her fans. And have fun — something she rarely does anymore.”
