A24 Set to Adapt Paris Hilton's Memoir Into TV Series
A24 is taking on Paris Hilton’s autobiography, Paris The Memoir, and adapting it for TV. Hilton’s entertainment company 11:11 Media, Dakota and Elle Fanning‘s Lewellen Pictures, and David Bernad’s Middle Child Pictures are producing. No writers have been set yet on the project.
While details are under wraps, Paris the Memoir, published earlier this year from HarperCollins is HIlton’s personal tell-all, battling with ADHD, her rise in pop culture, her branding. In the book’s description, Hiilton writes: “I wrote this book in an effort to understand my place in a watershed moment: the technology renaissance, the age of influencers. I also wrote this book so that the world could know who I am today. I focused on key aspects of my life that led to what I am most proud of—how my power was taken away from me and how I took it back, how I built a thriving business, a marriage and a family.”
Hilton went on to add, “There are so many young women who need to hear this story. I don’t want them to learn from my mistakes; I want them to stop hating themselves for their own mistakes. I want them to laugh and cry and embrace every aspect of who they are with fearlessness and pride. We all have our own brand of intelligence, and, girl, f*ck fitting in.”
She has had a tumultuous experience as a troubled teen in the blinding spotlight. This could end up being a worthwhile series that will hopefully focus on thriving after trauma as well as self-love.
