Is this film sky rocket to the top or bomb?

Hey Jess,
wo0oo0w the forum ..i miss it..i miss chattin' w/ u guyz about the 1 the only TIFFANI we must make this forum goin' on if u know what i mean..!!? ALL Tiffani fans should B taling 2 each other here..
i'm so exited that she came 4th in that E! show.. !! finelly some credit 4 her awesome role..!! :rolleyes:
c'mon Jess an OSCAR !! it would be great if that happened but come back 2 reality ..lets not have high hopes.. u read the article where she said that Bcuz of the roles she played in the past its hard 4 critics & other ppl 2 take her seriusly.. :angry:
i wanna ask u a Q? now does pruduction take THAT long 2 B finished..!!?? ;)
i really cant wait ..the movie, interviews, premiers & all that its been a long time ..!!
Jess - November 14, 2004 04:39 AM (GMT)
Hey,
Ooo I never heard that, the taking serious part. :huh: I think she deserves more recognition for her roles now. I have to admit, I wasn't exactly thrilled in "speedway junky" or "Ladies Man" because it seemed like most of the time she was just taking her clothes off, and we didn't get to see much acting. But that's just IMO :)
But I think nowadays she's bouncing back. "Good Morning, Miami" a smart chick, I mean I think she's turning herself around!
I don't know much about production, I did a little article about it in my school newspaper, but nothing really deep. I'm guessing it takes awhile, I mean I know you have to go back through each scene and fix little things. Sometimes the actors have to react their scenes, but as far as that goes..I don't know. Does anybody else have a clue? :blink:
*Jess*
Tatfan - November 14, 2004 11:44 PM (GMT)
i dont know much about that stuff either. i hope we will heir something soon, id really like to see it. i didnt heir that people werent taking her seriously either. i can see that because in some movies didnt have a very big or important role and it didnt showcase her talent. hopefully well get to see more of the good stuff! like 90210. :) lol
TiFF StyLe - November 17, 2004 03:32 PM (GMT)
Guyzzz u know which interview i'm talking about ..
it was in the hollywood reporter.. called NEW JOB if i'm not wrong..!!
u have it in ur site Jess.. i looked 4 it in the article section but didnt find it..! ;)
anyways.. once again I CAAAAANNNNNTTTTTT WAIT..LOL
Jess - November 18, 2004 10:34 PM (GMT)
Oooo the New Job, I totally overlooked that part!
"Everybody remembers you from your last five minutes, and I don't think people took me seriously. Being a woman doesn't help, and having people remember me from the types of shows that I've done doesn't either."
Tiff Style (by the way, what's your name? I'm sure I talked to you, but the sn doesn't connect with the person :)), the article is the first article in the articles section lol

If she wants to produce, direct, or do any behind the scenes stuff that is fine with me but she had better be IN THE MOVIE. That is why we are her fans, because she is so good on the screen, not because she is good behind it. <_<
This film will bomb.. It would have a chance if she was in it and if it wasn't such a girlie movie. I say straight to video. If she wants to skyrocket her carrier she needs to do a good independent or low budget film with artistic nudity. Just like Jennifer Aniston did with The Good Girl or Katie Holmes in The Gift. We know she isn't against nudity and even told Carson Daily on his show that she wanted to. She has the means; all she has to do now is do it.
amyt722 - December 2, 2004 04:48 AM (GMT)
I am pretty sure that this is a short film. Which basically means that it won't be released in theaters. It is more of a film festival kind of piece. I'm not exactly sure how this things work but maybe if it is received well at film festivals then the public gets a chance to see it. Is anyone else more familiar with the process?
TiFF StyLe - December 2, 2004 03:29 PM (GMT)
no no..its not at all a girly movie..
i'll tell u guys i read the story ..its not a novel or anything..its a 130pages short story..
but i dunno how she'll manege 2 turn it into a film .. maybe its easier cuz the writer is working alongside..
the mane charecter is the little boy growing up & his bro & parents.. i dont know what role she'll be playing..there r TOOOO many charecters in the story..in each chapter there r new ppl..
i hope it'll be in theaters..or maybe a TV movie..! :rolleyes:
Jess - December 3, 2004 04:07 AM (GMT)
Ooo, what was the novel about? I mean I know I could look it up, you might have a better version of it, if you'd like to share!
*Jess*
TiFF StyLe - December 3, 2004 01:58 PM (GMT)
as i said .. its NOT a novel..& its called LIFE.BE THERE AT 10 'TILL a collection of homegrown wisdoms by R. DEAN JOHNSON
the story is about him as a little boy living in the south of the U.S
its not a story exactly its more a combination of short stories in 22 chapters each chapter is about 3 pages..i dont know how 2 describe it..
Tatfan - December 4, 2004 12:29 AM (GMT)
that sounds like a good story. i just hope it does well! but i dont know if id like to see her nude in a movie.... she could be great in a movie without doing that. just my opinion. :P
TiFF StyLe - December 4, 2004 01:35 AM (GMT)
sorry 2 disppoint u all..but there is not even a KISS in the story..!! <_<
4 me i think it depends on the role shes playing.. she dosnt have 2 B totally naked..2 be sexy or 2 be an A list actress in hollywood..
jojok - December 7, 2004 03:46 PM (GMT)
sha has not to be naked in a movie to be wonderfull ! keep your clothes tiff ! :D
amyt722 - December 7, 2004 09:25 PM (GMT)
I really don't think that Tiffani is even in the movie. In the description on her website it just says director and producer, is says nothing about her acting in it. I also read this book and have to say that I felt more like the guy was preaching to me than telling me a story.
Tatfan - December 8, 2004 03:56 AM (GMT)
i fogot where but i did see an article where tiffani said she has a small role in the movie.
Tygris - December 8, 2004 06:55 AM (GMT)
TiFF StyLe - December 8, 2004 02:22 PM (GMT)
u can read the Transcript of the interview she did w/ Katie Curic on the 2day show..
October 7 2003: The Today Show Transcript
Interviewer: Many of you know our next guest as Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell or possibly a Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills 90210, but now Tiffani Thiessen is the fiesty new boss trying to shake things up in the Good Morning, Miami news room.
[show a clip of Good Morning Miami]
I: Sounds like Fear Factor, Tiffani Thiessen.
Tiffani: Yeah it does!
I: Hi, how are you?
Tiffani: Thank you.
I: Well first I have to ask you, you know I've always known of you as Tiffani-Amber Thiessen...
Tiffani: I know...
I: What happened?
Tiffani: You know, it's...a few years ago some friends of mine and some people who, my agent and my manager just kind of looked at me and like 'Are you kinda done with it?' And I'm like, 'I guess so'. And they're like 'Why don't we retire the Amber?' And I'm like, 'Alright, I'll do that.'
I: Now Amber was your real name?
Tiffani: It was my real middle name, yeah. My parents always believed in two names. My parents actually gave me Tiffani and my grandparents gave me Amber. So -
I: Well, it's nice to see ya - Yeah, it's still there without the -
Tiffani: I just don't use it professionally, I guess.
I: So tell me a little bit about this role on Good Morning, Miami. You play this news director and who is, uh, obviously pretty tough.
Tiffani: Yeah, pretty tough to me. Absolutely.
I: And pumpin there in her mind. She won't take any prisoners.
Tiffani: Exactly, you're absolutely right. You know, Max and David, who created Will & Grace who also do Good Morning, Miami, came to me and asked if I would do this character and they explained this character as being you know, completely um...very direct as I would say and she says what's on her mind and she's very smart and witty, and funny and I was like 'Absolutely! Of course I would!' So -
I: She really does take the news room by storm.
Tiffani: She raises a little havoc, absolutely.
I: So did you do any research for this at all? Did you talk to any real life news directors at all or any news stations?
Tiffani: No... I really didn't. I mean honestly [Tiff watching herself on GMM], That's so funny hah! I did not because you know, when it comes to sitcoms and stuff, it's not so much real life. It's comedy. And so I just went in there and made it as funny as I could. The writing was so brilliant that I tried to put as much as I could to make it you know, funny, but the writing is so there, it was just amazing.
I: Given your background, is it nice to be part of a series again? You're only doing this for three shows, right?
Tiffani: I'm doing actually 7.
I: Seven shows?
Tiffani: I'm doing 7, yeah.
I: So much for that reason (?)
[the girls laugh]
Tiffani: I'm doing just for a little while. I've got some other stuff that I have to do afterwards and um, it's been a wonderful run and the cast has been a dream. They're so brilliant and so professional in season and been really wonderful. It's been a great, great time.
I: Now I know that in tonight's episode, there's a guest shot with the guys from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy".
Tiffani: Ohhh, can I tell you - hysterical.
I: Really? I would enjoy working with them!
Tiffani: Reallly great guys.
I: They are really funny, they've made a huge flash. I mean so many people adore the show -
Tiffani: They're all over the place!
I: They better not get over exposed. I need to learn that about them.
Tiffani: Yeah, I agree.
I: How much fun were they?
Tiffani: Well I didn't actually do the scene with them, but I of course was there that week when they came in and shot the scene and it was unbelievable. I mean, they you know - they're not actors. I mean they, this is not - they come from reality, mostly. And they came in and they just did an amazing job. They're so funny tonight - they're gonna be great.
I: Some tells some - tell - me what else -
Tiffani: It's okay! I know! It's really early here!
I: Tell me what else you've been up to? I know that you were in a Woody Allen movie.
Tiffani: Yeah! I was in a Woody Allen film.
I: Which one was that?
Tiffani: Amazing! That was in New York and Hollywood Ending, yes.
I: And now you tall, tell, Tiffani [laughs]
Tiffani [laughs]: It's okay! [talking to the tv/producers of The Today Show] Get this woman some coffee!
I: I'm afraid I say too much, I don't wanna go back to sleep.
Tiffani: I know!
I: You're producing your first film?
Tiffani: Yeah, I'm producing my first short film, that I'm actually doing next month with a dear friend of mine and I'm very excited about it. I'm playing one of the roles in it and producing it myself so - I: And what about other, other movies that might be on the run -
Tiffani: You know, it's all - of course, absolutely. You know I'm still doing Good Morning, Miami right now. So I'm doing that for a little bit longer, so I still have some more time there.
I: I had fun reading your bio.
Tiffani: You did.
I: And I just wanna tell people a few things that they probably don't know about you.
Tiffani: Yeah.
I: You have three tattoos.
Tiffani: Yeah, I do.
I: And a daisy on your shoulder, a green heart below your nabel -
Tiffani: No, actually that's a lotus flower now!
I: Okay, okay. A lotus flower below your nabel and an angel ankle.
Tiffani: Right.
I: And you're a vegetarian.
Tiffani: I, well somewhat. I used to be.
I: Yeah -
Tiffani: You got some really old information there.
I: Really?? [laughs] We gotta update it!
[both laugh]
I: Is this true - your first commercial was - your first, I guess showbiz experience -
Tiffani: Yeah.
I: ...was you did a commercial for Peaches and Cream Barbie?
Tiffani: Yeah, I was the Matel girl. I was!
I: How old were you?
Tiffani: I was gosh, 8 years old, I think I was.
I: And I understand you were quite upset that you had to hold Ken and not the whole barbie.
Tiffani: I had to hold Ken - you're right.
I: I think holding Ken would have been more -
Tiffani: I was a brunette and so the blondes, they had cast a blonde girl to hold Barbie and I got to hold Ken and at 8 years old, I could really care less about Ken. I mean now it would be totally different, but you know at 8 years old - you really want to hold the barbie doll and I was very disappointed!
I: You know when I was little, my mom never got me Barbie. She got me a little -
Tiffani: What was it?
I: She got me Barbie's little less attractive friend, Nidge.
Tiffani: Awww.
I: And it had a lasting impact on my psychi (?)
Tiffani: I bet it did!
I: Just kidding!
Tiffani: I have some left over, I can give you some.
I: Okay good! Anyway, very very nice to meet you.
Tiffani: Thanks for having me!
I: Tiffani Thiessen without the Amber.
Tiffani: Thank you, right.
I: Good luck!
Tiffani: The Amber is up for grabs if anybody wants it!
I: On Good Morning, Miami, we'll look for you!
Tiffani: Thank you!
I: Alright, Tiffani. And you can see Good Morning, Miami tonight at 9:30 eastern time right here on NBC!
Jess - December 12, 2004 06:40 PM (GMT)
Ooo sorry, not a novel. Gotcha.
The book is confusing me lol. The whole synopsis is quite a blur. About a southern boy looking for a resolution. Hum. I wish there was more than that.
I think if Tiff was in a nude movie that had a purpose for her to be in the movie (other than the obvious, make guys drool), then it would be alright. But I dunno, she even said herself she wants to get out of that image.
Awww I loved that interview, you know what I think? Either it's a really small role and the role itself isn't really a big deal for her, so they're concentrating on the producing and directing? Or she was gonna be in it and she pulled out at the last minute :(
Jess - February 25, 2005 06:15 AM (GMT)
By the way, what do you guys think "Just Pray" means..like this guy is just praying to get the resolution in his life?
- Jess
Andrea - February 25, 2005 09:35 AM (GMT)
Well I would class it as a small independent film which may not make any great shakes but sometimes the smallest movies can have impact on the film world even if we don't see them. Sundance is an example as well as other movie festivals etc.
It's a stepping stone for her though into that side of things and everyone has to start somewhere right? I would be interested to see it to see how it is directed etc. but I doubt it will make it across here. It doesn't bother me whether she is in it or not, I would still like to see it
As for my take on the film - As you say Jess a young boy searching for a resolution/salvation and I think it will tell his journey and the discoveries he makes on the way and as the synposis says you sometimes find what you are looking for in the strangest of places and I think it will tell the story like that, how he finds what he is looking for where he least expected to find it and that when you think all hope is gone....look again :)
OSCAR hey Jess.....nice thought...maybe a little way off but then who knows....look at Hilary Swank!! Plus, did you know (OT here) that Hilary swank had only earnt $3000 that year she won her oscar and wasn't that well off!
Just goes to show things may not always be as they seem!!!!!
OSCARS ON SUNDAY!!!!!!! I couldn't be more excited unless I was going myself!!! :D
amyt722 - February 27, 2005 11:15 PM (GMT)
I just found out from the Carolina International Film Festival website that "just Pray" got an honorable mention for "outstanding achievement in a narrative fictional film or video." Just thought I would share the news with everyone!!
Tatfan - February 27, 2005 11:59 PM (GMT)
very cool! good for her! :D
Tygris - March 1, 2005 06:28 AM (GMT)
I'm interested to see it.
Jess - March 2, 2005 12:13 AM (GMT)
Whooooo hoo!!! Go Tiffani! A honorable mention? That's still goood! So she could have won, really - if those people wouldn't have. Awww ..good for her!
I'm all dancy :D

Yeah, I hear you..some small movies can have a great impact, I truly believe that!
Oh yeah, love to see it! So you don't think it'll be distributed? :(
That sounds like a nice story, with a meaning behind it.
LoL, I tried..with the oscar thing :D
$3000?!?! That's so freakin low, are you sure you don't mean 30,000 :blink:
- Jess
Andrea - March 21, 2005 10:41 AM (GMT)
I would hope it would get distributed but maybe in select cinemas?? Or straight to TV?? I would like to see it though.
AS for Hilary, yep, definately $3,000!! I know, mad isn't it! THat is what I have read in several places.
Oh, Jess, check your PM's......something you might like!!
:D
Tatfan - March 21, 2005 10:16 PM (GMT)
i know id like to see it too, hopefully it will at least come to video so i can rent it.
Jess - March 24, 2005 07:32 PM (GMT)
We gotta see it :( At least maybe the official site can put up the video, that would be good.
Thanks Esther!
