Katherine Heigl Already Making Post-Anatomy Plans?

While her fate is up in the air on Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl will keep plenty busy even if her tenure at Seattle Grace comes to a tragic end.


She will join Ashton Kutcher in the Lionsgate thriller Five Killers, which, depending on how her Seattle Grace storyline plays out, will either be her Grey's hiatus movie or her first post-op project.


Killers will see Heigl playing a woman who marries her very own McDreamy while on vacation, only to find her newlywed life threatened after learning the couple next door are assassins out to kill her and her hubby. The film reunites Heigl with Robert Luketic, who directed her in the upcoming rom-com The Ugly Truth.
