how much of TALENT was chosen over HER NAME?
Not saying she's a bad actress.
But how much weight was put on it?
I believe this is what she wants vs what Katherine wants.
But are people not just using her NAME?

I wish her the best but she is also young..and Michael had strong views on his children in showbiz.

WOW!
I know Paris spoke about wanting to be an actor, BUT I was expecting something along the lines of DISNEY or NICKELODEN. You know, an operation that would have some expertise in working with and GROOMING young, up-and-coming actors.
I would have never in a million years thought that Paris' first foray into show business would be along side Ted Lange and a bunch of other Z-Listers.
I did figure that since there were reports that the children were hanging out with Will and Jada's children, that whomever is in charge of Michael's 3-children would have taken a page out of the Smith's "Handbook."
In my opinion, the entire thing does not pass the smell test.
Can anybody say "Michael Forever Tribute Concert."

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)
saddest part is that Paris really seems to believe she's going to be a big star, a huge star under the guidance of her so called family, Her dreams are going to crushed big time, once she realizes this a Z grade production, at this rate she'll be heading to be as much of a big star as La Loony Tune is.

Give the girl a chance. You have to start somewhere. Jodie Foster started out doing commercials and the Partridge Family.

Like or hate the show, it's consider a cult and culture classic so that's hardly a bad launching pad. Plus, both were done with companies with good track records.

Not sure how true this is, but I read someone on another board claim Howard Mann's going to be her manager? If that's true, then Idk but I'm genuinely lost for words. That would be a new low even for someone like Katherine.

Z-list cast or not, Paris has to start somewhere if she wants to get into acting. She can't be parachuted into a big production just because she's Michael Jackson's daughter.

Why can't she?
It didn't appear to hurt Jaden Smith's opportunity to score a huge debut with his appearance along side of Jackie Chen in the remake of the Karate Kid.
But if the rumor regarding Howard Mann being her manager is true, then it all makes sense, because a reputable operation would most likely want NO dealings with a person like Howard Mann, which is definitely bad news for Paris. IF that rumor is true.

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)
Not to mention Miley Cyrus who mostly got her role on Disney because her father was a former big country star. The same with Selena Gomez who's mother is a stage actress and her first role was Barney & Friends, which is a popular show even if you hate Barney. How about on the music side with Justin Timberlake and Briney Spears getting their start on the Mickey Mouse Club.
Good early film roles can greatly help you because the person can see what good production is and I don't see why Paris have to do a low line production when she could get her acting chops doing minor roles for Disney or Nickelodeon. Going back to Gomez, she started on Disney as a guest star on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and had a guest appearance, that later turned into a recurring role, on Hannah Montana before getting her own starring role on Wizards of Waverly Place.

The sad thing is, if you consider the kind of "business" people the Jacksons attract (aka crooks), it would not even surprise me.
ALso, I dont get the idea behind the movie : it's a 100% american thing then, if they give 50% of the money to US schools?

By the look of those pictures posted above, I would think that this is LESS than a High School production. LOL!
True, but those were all LEGITMATE projects.

The only thing I know for sure is that Paris Jackson is creating a new standard for Beauty.
Paris Jackson is refreshingly beautiful. :bow:

The cast is not even complete, and she's already sent in the media to promote that thing. I cant help but remember the way MFT happened : the incomplete line up, and but the kids already involved. :wtf:

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)
On the bright side, I have to admit I love the models and designs for the CGI characters. As someone who is studying 3D models and texturing, this come across as nicely done given that this is a budget film.
I would also like to add that acting with CGI is much harder than acting with live characters. Since Paris is the only 'real' person in this entire film she will be pretty much playing off herself and cues from the producer about what is supposedly going on. Even for a professional actress this is a tough thing to do, so this isn't the kind of thing I would recommend for a starting film role.

I don't get why this keeps being said. Does no one not notice what other celebrity kids are landing these days? What celebrity kid do you know of would star in something like this?

I think this project sounds horrendous. It's a movie which is meant to be in the works since 07, with that creepy youtube posted at the beginning of the thread of various middle aged men no one's ever heard of, asking children to send in audition tapes so they can star in this motion picture. Obviously nothing's happened since then, so they must be thanking their lucky stars (and scratching their heads) that they;ve landed the king of pop's only daughter as the solo star who's prepared at the age of 13 to go on tv chat shows, days after her father's killer was sentenced, to promote this 'movie'.
I read some blurb about the book where the author had plans back in 09 to get american schools on board and sell it direct to children on a given day. He made some projections of if 10 pupils per class bought it, then they would make $100million and $50m of that would go back to the schools - and presumably he would pocket the remaining $50m. Don't think that worked out. He sounds delusional. Apparently larry king and his wife are involved, jermaine was quite pally with him wasn't he? He was doing the vienna tribute with larry king's wife, before she bailed out. Supposedly that's the family connection with this project.
Haven't got mixed feelings at all about this, it's another really tacky enterprise. So sad paris is connected to it in her sole name.

You can start with a little part of course, but it doesnt mean you have to start with a crappy production either.
But lucky us... another summary from aunty Ivy!!

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)
Larry King is involved in this so it can't be all that bad. Maybe she wants to do this and build up and gain experience. Miley and the others got a show and they have had their issues. I think it's better to do something small and go from there. I would like to see her have a career and not like the Kardashians. I don't know what they do.

Ain't nothing wrong with starting "small," but small-respectable and small-thrown together with scotch tape are two different things in my opinion.

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)
That might be a good idea. What the story line sounds like to me, from the little bit that's available, it seems like one that lines up to themes that were very dear to Michael's heart. I am obviously trying to stay optimistic here before totally condemning the project. Of course, this is a separate issue from Paris' involvement.
However, is it possible, knowing how much Michael stayed aware of things, especially projects that he would see as being valuable in awakening the public's awareness to important issues, that he came across this children's book? I believe it came out in ...was 2006? And the first attempt towards making it into a film was back in 2007? Do I have that right?
What if Michael got a hold of this book and read it to his children and that was Paris' first introduction to Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys? Then she would probably think that her dad would support the project, and hopefully her involvement with it, if he were still here. Not saying he would, how would any of us know how he would think, we were never in his head...just how she could possibly see it.
But keep in mind that all I have suggested is due entirely to speculation and shared only to perhaps offer to us here another perspective.
