Paris Jackson begins acting career - Lundon's Bridge - Summary of the book @pg42

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I looked to the companies involved in this.

Paralight Films is the main company. These are their projects


SOL (2010 / 2011) independently financed and produced science fiction film currently seeking distribution for a release.


Humbug - A Christmas Carol, Beau and Beanstalk and Speed of Light are books in screenplay format.

There are a lot of other screenplays as well.

Their website shows Lundon's Bridge as a movie to be done for schools / shown in schools. It also says that it was to start in May 2009 and be shown at schools in 2010. It's apparent that it didn't happen and their plans have changed and became bigger.



This is from 2009 article

With an unconventional marketing strategy inspired by Dennis Christen, Sandman Studios plans to show the movie only in elementary school cafeterias transformed for an evening of fundraising into a "theater," Cross said. Schools will collect 50 percent of the admission price.

With actors like Shawn King , Larry King's wife, and Joey Fatone, formerly of 'N Sync, slated to participate in the project, Sandman Studios is certain "Lundon's Bridge" will be a hit.

"It's a good story," Cross said. "It's something I would want my children to see."

The other companies involved provide side services : such as Sandman studios is a company that does animation and GMT studios makes stages/studios for the movies. Both are decent firms. Sandman studios animation work can be seen below

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

this is unbelievable...Michael wouldn't like this at all. Child stars always end up going down the drain...again..WHY....because they dont have a childhood. I am highly disgusted about this whole thing. I really would think that Katherine..her guardian..the one that is INCHARGE of this kids mental and physical well being would of said NO...not until she turns 18. But AGAIN Katherine proves her LACK of parental judgement...what a damn failure she is as a guardian. I am afraid for her future.. have been since June 25th...and decisions like this continually.... prove our instincts right. Just because Paris a CHILD says...I want to be an actress,,,Grandma..who is SUPPOSE to be in control...DOESN'T need to say YES to everything. Obviously we can see WHO is in control...and that IS NOT the adult. To bad...:(

Honestly it looks like straight to DVD type of movie. The initial goals was even "only in elementary schools". Currently I feel like they are going with "major motion picture" route just because they signed up Paris. I can't help but think they are banking on Paris and Michael's popularity. If the movie flops or receives negative criticism it would be mostly placed on Paris because she's the only human actor - rest are just participating as voice talents.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

:wtf:





Many are saying OK to it.... But do not forget: Michael is not here to guide Paris. Look at who is around her, Prince and Blanket. :fear: Think about it. If Michael were here, we would not be worried. FACT!

Well, a new nightmare is about to begin, fasten your seat belts.... :(
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

First and foremost, I think she is still too young and should concentrate on school but then it could be a one-off project say during the summer holidays, I don't know. I do kind of agree a little bit about Ivy's observation about Paris liking attention but then again, I feel Paris's over riding motive as to carry on Michael's massage especially helping kids and the environment (or at least I hope so).

Kids have always talked about Michael's passion for film and how they want to do it together and who knows maybe they want to realise some of those dreams. We cannot compare Michael situation with Paris situation here. Michael to a certain extend was forced to perform (of course he also loves it) to earn a living for the family whereas Paris's could be more for what she like to do (she does not have to worry about money for the rest of her life). Also, I was looking at the article that "respect" posted, it seems like a noble cause and spreading a very meaningful message that Michael has been championing all his life. The character requires a kid, hence, I don't think Paris can still do it when she reaches 18. All I hope is she stay level headed, remembers what Michael taught her, do good with her gift (acting in this case) and do not get swept away in the madness of Hollywood. Good Luck!!!

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I agree that the difference between Paris and actresses like Jodie Foster, Tatum O'Neal and Brook Shilds is adults who stand up behind their back. That girls had strong parents, fathers or mothers, who stand up for them. What about Paris? Michael was A SINGLE parent who raised her, cared about her and hide her from public attention like very tenderly. He passed away just a couple of years ago. The whole her life changed. Who's now in charge for Paris? Who would protect her, warn her, advice her and stand up for her? There're a lot of people around her. If it's LaToya or a lot of cousins who are sick for public attention themselves, we can't be sure for her, really.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I fear for her. I hope she doesn't go through the same pain that her father went through in his life.

No matter. She has to get expierence somewhere. Criticism/Flops/Setbacks huge part of show Biz. Paris like everyone, especially her dad will have to suck it up and move on.

I am out of here. "The sky is falling" crowd taking over.

I don't know what to say. I think she should be 16-18 before doing anything serious. I am sure Ellen will be kind to her. I just don't know. I will be praying for her and her brothers. It would be different if Michael was here. He would protect them.I just hope everything will be okay.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

And before anyone jumped on me saying "she is still to young to t know what she wants" and "Michael will not want this", I will say I have two kids, a son same age as Paris and a daughter same age as Blanket. My son is very matured and level headed and is very clear what he wants in life. He has his dreams charted out since he is 9 years old although I continuously tried to persuade him to go into studying business and finance like me which I feel have better job prospect but he strongly disagree with me. Also, we don't know whether Michael will or will not agree. And perhaps it is good that she learn early whether she is good in acting or not, one has to face reality sooner or later (and yes, Michael will not be around to guide her which is very sad). But at least I am glad that she her first acting role is something very positive, spreading positive message and raising fund for school, rather than some shoddy story line.

exactly! THIS sums it up
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

So let's break this down:

1. So far this has NOTHING to do with the Jackson family. There is no reports of them getting Paris into this. This seems to be her own decision. So stop with the "they're just trying to make money off her!!" bs.

2. We all know Paris wants to be an actress. She takes acting classes. That's just what she wants to do, and I respect that.

3. Michael said himself in Moonwalk that if his children want to get out there and act/sing/dance/whatever, he'd step aside and let them do it. So again, calm yo tits people and stop saying, "THIS ISN'T WHAT MICHAEL WANTED!!"

4. We're fans. We're only fans. We're not part of the family. We don't speak for Michael. Stop putting words in his mouth.

5. Paris is Michael's daughter. Support her. I've already seen the disgusting comments MJ fans have directed towards her on twitter. I can't believe this is what the fan community has come to. Leave her alone.

Edit: Just saw the comment "Paris is being raised by the same people that raised Michael, yadda yadda yadda", to which I will say:

Michael has said himself many times that his parents did NOT push him into show business. He wanted to sing. And I'll be damned if Joseph didn't do a good job of promoting those kids and getting them all the way to being signed at Motown. That's determination and hard work. Yes there's some messed up things that happened later, but Joseph played a major role in the early development of the Jackson 5.

Michael, of course. Only he could guide PPB in the right way. :( I do not trust anyone. :nono: Now, is in the hands of God. May He protect them and guide them to right path. :pray: *big sigh*
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

If she really is serious about this then I hope maybe Janet can guide her. She has experience in acting. The others do not and are in the music business.

True but have you seen her twitter responses today?

she responded to someone saying "you don't know me personally" and labelled them as "hater".

The reality is when you put yourself on the public spotlight by being an actress, you need to realize that people that doesn't know you personally will criticize you and you have to be prepared for it.

That's why I believe she's not realizing what she's getting herself into as she doesn't realize the reality of "public opinion" and is offended by it. Once she becomes an actress her world wouldn't only consist of "people who know her personally", it would include a whole a lot of public.

Why bother spinning this? The most obvious thing is, this wouldn't be happening to any other celebrity kid. With other celebrity kids it's all about having the best surrounding them, not having them work with no names and has beens. Who's not going to be saying WTF to this news.

Because it's the truth? LOL! I admit that I was surprised at the news, but ultimately this is her first film and I think it has a really good message that Michael would've liked. Not everything has to be big budget.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

So the Jacksons have nothing to do with this well someone had to give Paris permission. Someone had to signed a contract he's a minor. How to get permission to use her picture? Michael was never pushed into show business? I guess he took his own clothes off but oil on his body and whipped himself. Whatever
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

^ Want me to give you quotes from Michael himself? Because I will, LOL. Of course Katherine would've signed something for her, but I think this is Paris' decision. She evidently loves acting and this is what she wants to do.

Edit:

"I remember my childhood as mostly work, even though I loved to sing. I wasn't forced into this business by stage parents the way Judy Garland was. I did it because I enjoyed it and because it was as natural to me as drawing a breath and exhaling it. I did it because I was compelled to do it, not by my parents or family, but by my own inner life in the world of music."

- Page 9, Moonwalk

LOL! Oh please. Seriously? He says a lot of times through Moonwalk that singing was HIS choice. Yes his life was hard, but he was never forced. That was my point. In fact he says this further in Moonwalk on the same page as the last quote:

"When you're young and you're working, the world can seem awfully unfair. I wasn't forced to be Michael the lead singer - I did it and loved it - but it was hard work".


You're just ignoring the parts you don't like either. Mmmmmmmmmm.

All I am gonna say to this post is this.. YOU are entitled to YOUR opinion as to what Michael would WANT for his children..we have heard him say time and time again WHAT he would want..and THIS is not it. Further more you come off VERY rude and arrogant with your yadda yadda yadda Bullshit....YOU have expressed your opinion...and I have expressed mine..and so has everyone else in this thread...there is NO need to get all pushy with YOURS. Joe and Katherine were BAD parents for what they did to Michael...I really dont care what YOU or anyone else has to say about THAT. We heard it out of Michael's own mouth. "Have you seen my childhood" It DOESN'T take a rocket scientist to figure out what HIS views would be on this...so for you to say that we DONT know WHAT he would say,,,Sorry...you lose this time...HE WOULDN'T put his kid infront of a camera at 13 years old. That is STILL a child.
