ACTRESS Katie Holmes will star in “The Secret,” based on the best-selling self-help book by Rhonda Byrne.

The film, to be directed by Andy Tennant, will follow a young widow with three children who hires a handyman to fix her house during a terrible storm. As the handyman grows closer to the family, he shares his philosophy of believing in the power of the universe to deliver what we want, but the widow soon realizes he carries a secret connection to her past.

Bekah Brunstetter, writer of NBC’s hit drama “This Is Us,” wrote the screenplay with participation from Tennant and longtime writing partner Rick Parks. “Our filmmakers have created a compelling family love story that embodies the principles of ‘The Secret’,” Cort said. “We intend to make a film as funny, emotional and endearing as its message is hopeful.”

Holmes will also have a cameo in the upcoming “Ocean’s Eight,” set to be released by Warner Bros. on June 8, 2018.(SD-Agencies)
