She was geeked to get the gig as Jacqueline Kennedy in the new miniseries “The Kennedys” but Katie Holmes won’t be hitting the History Channel anytime soon.
The head honchos over at History decided to scrap their involvement in the project because it is a bit too honest about the great American family.
Executive producer Michael Prupas told press, "It's the truth. The goal of the script from the very beginning was to tell the family story of the Kennedys. There's much written evidence of what went on in that family ... They truly were a great family that has a Shakespearian story arc that resulted in many tragedies and many great successes."
"It is blatantly obvious from many public sources that the family had certain flaws and certain problems. We weren't inventing the wheel. The film is a positive reflection. But we have shown the flaws."
Now it’s uncertain where “The Kennedys” will end up. "We don't have an offer in place. We don't have a discussion going on with a specific network. [But] there are several interested in reviewing the material. I know the material and I know anybody who's watched this material and the response has been overwhelmingly positive."
