Paris Hilton’s 2023 book, Paris: The Memoir, is set to become a biopic, thanks to Dakota and Elle Fanning.
Hilton confirmed the exciting news in September 2023 by sharing a link to a Deadline article, complete with a heart-eyes emoji and tags for her production partners.
The report indicated that A24 acquired the film rights for a reported six-figure sum. Dakota and Elle’s production outfit, Lewellen Pictures, will produce the upcoming series alongside Hilton’s firm, 11:11 Media, and David Bernad’s Middle Child Pictures.
In her memoir released in March 2023, Hilton opened up about her life, touching on her experiences in boarding school and her decision to terminate a pregnancy in her early twenties.
“Writing this book has been one of the most daunting yet fulfilling experiences in my life,” Hilton shared on Instagram in March 2023. “I can’t wait for you to meet the real me.”
Reflecting on her extensive career, which now includes a producer role, Hilton emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself in the public domain.
“I’ve always been forward-thinking… not afraid to take risks,” Hilton revealed to Us Weekly for her August 2023 cover feature. “It’s all about authenticity. And a little luck goes a long way!”
It seems that sharing her story through television is the next step for her.
“I’m [focused on] using my platform for good,” she expressed to Us. “I want to create a legacy of positivity, transformation, and empowerment.”
