The casting of the film seems notable, with Holmes and Jackson playing each other's lovers over 22 years ago in the teen hit "Dawson's Creek."  The series followed a group of friends growing up and falling in and out of love with each other, with Holmes and Jackson playing the show's most enduring and beloved couple. 

Holmes and Jackson also dated in real life, during the years 1998 and 1999. "I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always,” said Holmes in a 2008 interview with Rolling Stone. “And that I feel so fortunate because he’s now one of my best friends." 

“He’s been in the business so long, and he’s really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.”
