Katie Holmes is a Killer Schoolteacher in the 'Miss Meadows' Trailer

Sometimes the best way to make a comeback is by playing off your old public persona. In the case of Katie Holmes, she's always been someone audiences loved, since way back in the days of Dawson's Creek. She had a wholesome spirit to her, and that sort of got lost as she got older, married Tom Cruise (then escaped), and took on maturer roles. But with her new film, the homicidal schoolteacher comedy Miss Meadows, Holmes is back having fun again.

A new trailer for the Karen Leigh Hopkins-directed satire focuses on its most offbeat elements, and of course Holmes in the kind of role we've never seen from her before.  Set in suburban whitebread America, Miss Meadows is a schoolteacher by day, a murderous vigilante by...the rest of the day. The tone of this one's pretty awkward; what starts out as a black comedy gets grim and mysterious by the end, and hopefully it all comes together better than it does in this footage.

Miss Meadows opens November 14th.

Katie Holmes is a Sweet and Brutal Vigilante in Trailer for 'Miss Meadows'

"It's the life of an actor. We don't really have a lot of choice in the matter. You have dry spells, and then you have times when there is a lot of opportunity."

That was Katie Holmes in a recent interview with E! Online discussing the "dry spell" she went through while held captive married to Tom Cruise for seven years. She doesn't blame him or their relationship for it, but it's hard to ignore how busy Holmes has been since they split two years ago. One of four completed projects she has on the way is the indie comedy Miss Meadows, which has her as the world's sweetest vigilante killer ever.

A new trailer for the film has been released, and it stars Holmes as grade school teacher Miss Meadows. She nourishes young minds by day but at night she loads up her gun and takes to the streets as a vigilante, eliminating the neighborhood scum and drawing the attention of the local police, led by Iron Man 3's James Badge Dale. Karen Leigh Hopkins (writer on the abysmal Because I Said So) makes her directorial debut and the film was greeted with mixed reviews at Tribeca earlier this year.

Also starring Jean Smart and Mary Kay Place, Miss Meadows opens November 14th.
