She wears combat boots, and she listens to metal music,”Jackson tells Jackson. “That’s who I was when I was in high school.

Paris Jackson: New Film Sex Appeal, Wanting to Be in Marvel Movie

Jackson insists “Sex Appeal” isn’t your typical high school comedy. “A lot of coming-of-age films are about either the woman trying to find her love and then the movie ends with the first kiss, or the guy trying to get laid and then he gets laid,”She says. “So you know, a lot of the ones that are about sex are mainly about men. And there isn’t that much out there in pop culture that educates the women on their side of things.”

Jackson would love the opportunity to appear in a Marvel film. “I want to be a superhero or a supervillain,”She says. “I grew up reading the comics with my brothers. Every time a new Marvel film comes out, we go as a family to watch it. … They haven’t let anyone down since 2009.”

Her favourite characters are: Wolverine Iron Man and Deadpool are her favorites. “They do what’s right, but they don’t do it by the book,”Jackson: “And they have a snarkiness to them, which I love.”

She claims she prefers Marvel to the D.C. universe. “I don’t think it’s either one or the other. I just think that they’re different,”Jackson: “I don’t think one is like necessarily better than the other. Marvel is what I grew up on. It’s like comparing the Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They’re very different.”

Acting aside, Jackson continues making music. “I’m just experimenting with a bunch of different sounds,”She says. “I’ve had some good experience with folk and alternative folk but I’m learning how to be louder and learning how to add more distortion electric guitar to my stuff.”

Who’s one her playlist these days? “My top five most listened to artists of the past year were Radiohead, Manchester Orchestra, Bright Eyes, Frightened Rabbit and Mimicking Birds.”

Isabelle Fuhrman wasn’t going to half-ass her performance as a college rower in the indie sports thriller “The Novice.”Before filming began, she trained six times per week for six years. During the shoot, she’d hit the gym an hour each morning, then another hour after wrapping for the day. “Your hands are getting these crazy blisters on them, and they’re popping, and you’re trying to keep them from getting infected, but they’re still getting infected,” Fuhrman tells me. “They finally callus over, and they rip off.” “The Novice,”Written and directed by Lauren Hadaway, is up to five Independent Spirit Awards including female lead Fuhrman. “When I would get home every night, I would take a scolding hot bath and then call my mom or call my sister to decompress,” Fuhrman recalls, adding, “You’re just so physically depleted and exhausted. The exhaustion I realized very quickly was going to kind of overtake everything, but I also realized it was the most important part of my performance because it put me in a place where I felt so fragile and vulnerable, as you do when you’re tired and hungry all the time.”

It was worth it. Fuhrman says she’s had the greatest satisfaction when real rowers tell her how much they like the movie. “When I watch it, I know what I’m doing wrong,”She says. “But for them, I think this is the only time they’ve ever seen a movie about rowing where the actors are not on green screens. They’re like, ‘Wow, you’re rowing is really great.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, for six weeks, and like a week on the water. That’s the best that I could do.’”

“The Novice”Available on VOD and in Theaters
