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)

No we are just speculating for now ..

Maybe that will come out in the interview. If Ellen asks Paris how she got this part in the movie
That is usually what interviewers ask when actresses and actors promote movies they are in
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I saw a msg on this board on how It was ok for Michael to make a bad choice and do miss castaway because he was an established star already and has room to make those choices. while its bad for Paris.. Thats SO backwards lol! there has been established careers badly harmed by making ONE bad movie, or ONE bad song.. Paris is not an established actress and is acceptable to be a part of a low budget.. Infact it would help more than having a small part in a big movie.. she wouldnt be the "girl who got the roll cuz shes a jackson" shes showing she can pay dues..
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I think I'm dreaming. Michael Jackson started out in strip clubs as a little boy and people are worried about this movie being the most horrendous choice ever?? To put it with Seth Meyers "Really??? And I mean REALLY???" Do we live in parallel realities of sorts? Perhaps.

My God, she's not starting out in some homemade sextape, people- I had to check what the outrage was all about. Or imagine a mildly controversial role- say, like Jodie Foster.

Yeah, I got it backwards alright. :rofl:

I'd imagine this would be an exciting time for her right now, really exciting. A break from the last few months. Pretty soon a number of her dad's fans are gonna be addressed this way:

"I've had a really lousy Christmas, you've *just* managed to kill my New Year's, if you come back on Easter- you can burn down my apartment. "
("While you were sleeping"- since we're talking wholesomeness here)

What icon do you know of was ruined by a crappy movie? Madonna, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, etc. Icons being in terrible films is nothing new.

But there's already this perception that Paris is going to be used and exploited by those trying to make a name for themselves, so her being in a low budget film is sadly expected by most. And because it plays right into what most predicted, no one will take this project seriously. That's why it's HUGELY important for her and her brother to have the right people behind them and their projects.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I also want to add that Michael did Miss Castaway as a favor to a friend, it was never meant to be a serious acting role unlike Paris. It was also a straight to DVD movie, and most people don't know about it. Only the fan community really knows this movie even exist or would care to even see it. So, it was far from a big thing. This wasn't exactly the Wiz.

As I said in other posts, Paris can get her acting chops in guest roles in other popular shows like what Selena Gomez did or even commercials. Why does she have to do a budget film with CGI characters, which is extremely hard to do even for establish actresses?

Sorry, some of you guys' logic mystifies me.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

So does Paris now think Breaking News is her father?

Kind of ironic that this song, given some of it's lyrics, is used to launch Paris's career.

According to some Paris is an adult with a brain of her own, who can't take no for an answer. A 13 year old who can't be handled by adults, who can't be told to sit her ass down and wait til 18.

[h=1]Going into the family (show)business? Michael Jackson's daughter Paris is set to star in her first film[/h] By Laura Schreffler

Last updated at 6:55 AM on 9th December 2011



Paris Jackson is all set to follow in her superstar father's footsteps.

The precocious 13-year-old has reportedly scored her first role in a feature film.

According to The Sun, Michael Jackson's only daughter will play the heroine in the fantasy picture Lundon's Bridge And The Three Keys.

Ready for her close up: Paris Jackson has reportedly scored her first film role

article-2071937-0EFB726000000578-143_233x370.jpg
Like father like daughter: The 13-year-old is Michael Jackson's only daughter

The teenager's family wanted her to wait until she was 18 before launching any sort of career, but Paris was persuasive.



[h=4]More...[/h]

She told her grandmother, 81-year-old Kath, that the film had a message close to her father's heart.

A source told the newspaper: 'Her character's strong love for her father is central to the plot.'

Profits from the film will allegedly go towards funding the US public school system.

The fantasy film is based on a young adult series by Dennis H. Christen.

Ancient magic turns a dolphin into a human, an evil spell changes a teenage boy into a dragonfly and a good jellyfish queen morphs into an evil fairy godmother.




The themes of family love and the magic of belief are central to the tales.

Meanwhile, Paris has been making some rare public appearances.

Remembering Michael: Paris was seen with her brothers and their grandmother at the X Factor last month

She recently attended a taping of Fox's hit reality series, X Factor USA

She and the rest of the Jackson family sat front row on the anniversary of their father's Thriller release.

The family was out again in full force late last week at the premiere of Cirque de Soleil's Immortal tour in Las Vegas.
The show is based on Michael's music.

some of the comments at the bottom of the page are disgusting,,,and THIS is why she needed to wait...but hey that it just my opinion,

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

That movie has been sitting on a shelf since 2004.. they are just using her name to attract investors.

The major studios Dreamworks, Disney/Pixar won't touch this mess.

Especially some of these people knew & worked with MJ.


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

Some of you need to start to look out of the box.
Doesn't matter if she starts acting now, with 20 or 35. there is always the posibility, to fail and to be smatched by the press. And as a bginner you need to start small, else your doomd.
And doesn't matter what the adults tell you, you need to make experiences yourself, to (quote) "know jack shit about "LIFE". you need to burn yourself to know better. else doesn't matter how much your guardians tell you shit, you don't see it.
Really, you don't need parent in that age. Come on, how was you in that age. Some mj fans are so limited.
people like that are the ones who think that everything Michael did with the kids was right. No it wasn't. I don't doubt his parenting, but his extreem protection. I'm sure he would have a lot problems with the two older kids now. cause he was constrained them. those of you think that they carry on what Michel wanted for the kids.
And i'm sure the one who do sooo carring and knowing whats good for kid, are the one who neglect your own parenting.

Apparently, Jaden Smith didn't get your memo. LOL!

Neither did his sister, Willow. She has a record deal with Jay-Z. Can't get no better then that, in my opinion.

And even with all of that going on, you NEVER see the Smith children being overexposed.

The Jackson's will continue to do these shady type deals, because they just want to make money, by any means necessary. Case in point would be that TACKY "Michael Forever Tribute." We ALL saw how that turned out, but I bet the Jackson's got their money upfront, everybody else be damned.

Like Michael Jackson, the perfectionist, would want his daughter's first project to be with Larry King's wife, TED LANGE, and Joey Fatone. PLEASE! A bunch of has-been, no-names. LOL!

There is a huge difference between being 13 or being 20/35. How was I at that age? I was a 13yr old kid who still needed parenting. Just as my children did at that age and just as my daughter does who is almost the same age.

It is upto adults to protect children, yes we all need to learn life's lessons but isn't it better to do so when we are mature enough to cope. People are quick enough to blame bad/lack of parenting when things go wrong.

As a mother I find your last sentence quite offensive. My children are fine, thank you.

Ohh please. Will was carring his oldest on awards shows and press conferences. and he was about 5-6. On MTV movie awards I think late 90's, the kid was 5. he was so shy he could barrely talk.
jaden started with him in a movie around that age, maybe with 9. since then Will is pushing him and now his other kids.

See there is the problem. in michaels case you always see the things to extrem.

And you know what i mean, by staring small.

I don't understand why you see so negative. I posted the saying on my few previous posts. that exactly whats happening.

@lasttear
I know, people always tend to see the mistakes other parents do, but don't see their own. Im not doubting the well-going of your kids, but judging others and blind to see your own steps is what all parents do.

No, i'm not parent. thats why I see things soberly then you. still doesn't mean I can't pass a judgment, that you extravagate the whole situation.

If this is something Paris wants to do then i wish her nothing but luck

If this is something that The Jacksons are pushing her to do then shame on them
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

Why must be there always these comparisations. And Will was so hard trying all these years to show what great loving family they are, that it was bringin me to puke everytime i saw them.

Your interests and time spend is more with michael, thats why don't see that Will smith ids doing the same with his kids all tese years, what Jacksons kids do now.

Nice try, BUT NO CIGAR! Like Will Smith would EVER need Larry King in order to launch his children's career. Totally laughable, especially since they don't even have MONEY in order to put this fiasco into production.

Michael has been gone for a little over two years, and in that two years his children have been USED over and over again to promote tacky projects that have gone nowhere and continue to go nowhere.

(Anybody interested in buying a $2,000+ Beat It Jacket signed by the brothers? LOL!)

Walking the red carpet with your parents is way different then having your grandmother sign you to a LIFELONG (illegal) contract with a former porn producer. Or having your grandchildren fronting for fake charity. Belts, Perfume, AND Larry King's wife. Yeah, little Paris is definitely on the correct path to success. As if!

No, I disagree, you are putting everybody into the same boat, we are not all like that. I know that I can make mistakes but I know if I do that it is done with a good heart.

I'm afraid I disagree with your last sentence as well. I think if you are not around very young teens then it's easy to see them as more mature than they really are.
 
Many successful actresses started out in low-budget films. Natalie Portman’s first film was The Professional, which was not a big budget production. Her role was controversial. Natalie was Paris’ age when her first film came out. I think many here would have flipped out if Paris got Natalie’s role in the Professional. Over the years, she moved on to act in Star Wars, some other low budget productions, studied at Harvard and got an Oscar. Charlize Theron acted in some films that I’m sure she’s not particularly proud of now. Scarlet Johansson and Kristin Stewart started acting in feature films when they were young. Drew Barrymore started when she’s really just a kid, had growing pains, got into trouble and found success later on.</SPAN>

Different people have different paths to success in the entertainment industry. Not everyone is a Merryl Streep, who started after graduated from Yale. Not everyone is a Emma Watson, who started with the big budget Harry Porter series. Why it’s perceived as a failure if Paris’ first film is a low-budget production? Aren’t we saying we want Paris to find success because of her own merits, not because of being the daughter of Michael Jackson? Then, why we expect she has to start out big because she’s the daughter of Michael Jackson – a celebrity kid?</SPAN>

Some of my favorite movies are low-budget independent productions. The writer of Juno didn’t have a glorious past. It didn’t prevent her from writing a great script. Many producers of successful movies had a hard time attracting capital along the way. I wonder whether the King’s Speech could get a distributor if Colin Firth was not in it. </SPAN>

If the article posted here is true, Paris likes the message of the film as well as the story line about the close father-daughter relationship, then may be it’s true that she’s eager to be involved in the film and persuaded her guardian to let her try out. So, she may not be forced by anyone into doing things she doesn’t like. </SPAN>

Success is not measured by commercial performance. Fans are fixated with sales figures, chart positions, etc. Even if the film turns out to be a flop or goes straight to DVD, it’s not automatically a failure. The important thing is that Paris enjoys the experience, finds fulfillments, learns and grows as a person. The Wiz was not a critical or commercial success. But, Michael said he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and couldn’t imagine it to be any better. </SPAN>

There is still a long way ahead of Paris. She will get hurt. She will have to go through a painful journey. But, she will have other opportunities to prove herself. </SPAN>
</SPAN>

How would you feel if every single one of your mistakes are being magnified to a degree out of proportion? How would you feel if your parenting skill is being judged by total strangers who have never met or talked to you? And all these strangers justified their harsh criticisms by saying they have concerns over your children, whom they have never met or talked to either.

I find it interesting that we accept that we can make mistakes, but we know we have good hearts despite the mistakes we have made. Yet, we can't apply the same principle to Katherine Jackson.

The key here is to learn by our mistakes and not to repeat them. I don't think KJ does anything with hate in her heart (sometimes maybe spite toward Branca) but I equally don't think that she is thinking of Michael when she has allowed the children to be put out there.

How would I feel? Well I would address the issue, I wouldn't ignore people and carry on.

The only problem is this is not a "low-budget" film, it's a NO BUDGET wanna be film. Big difference in my opinion.

There is also nothing wrong with a low-budget, INDEPENDENT film, which this is not. When they have secured financing, that can be determined, but right now there is no money in the till.

Your example of The Professional is a great one, only problem is that the writer/director was French director Luc Besson, who has a bunch of films (low budget and big budget) under his belt, spanning 25+ years. That film also included Gary Oldman, Jean Reno, and Danny Aiello. NOT Issac from the Love Boat. LOL! A lot of excellent actors like the independent route, because it allows them to fully exercise their acting chops.

Juno (love that film) was low-budget, but look who directed it and who starred in it. Totally different than Larry King's unknown wife.

In my opinion, just like Michael did in his own career, he would have wanted the BEST-OF-THE-BEST for his daughter. He would have ensured that she was placed in the most professional of hands, whether that be low-budget or high-budget. I just don't see Michael Jackson calling up Larry King to ask him if he can help his daughter's acting career. I just can't see that. Michael Jackson would have went to the top, not necessarily because he may have wanted his daughter to be a huge star, but just to ensure that she would have the BEST professional tools available in order to proceed with any possible acting career.

And the best the Jackson's can come up with is Larry King. Sorry, I don't buy that.

P.S. Wasn't Drew Barry's first acting gag in E.T.?
