Katie Holmes is The Romantics lead.

Mrs. Tom Cruise will temporarily cease being joined at the hip hands with her hubby to replace fellow raven-haired thesp Liv Tyler in the increasingly star-studded indie flick. (Tyler left the film for undisclosed reasons and, no, we don't know what they are.)

Per Variety, the movie centers around eight college friends who reunite for the wedding of coed pal Anna Paquin. Holmes plays the maid of honor who also happens to have had a romantic past with the groom (Josh Duhamel). Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, Adam Brody and Jeremy Strong also star.

The Romantics, which in a bit of creative contracting Holmes will also boss people around on executive-produce, starts shooting this week in New York City.

Now all they need is a killer soundtrack and we're looking at The Big Chill: The Next Generation.
