Paris, who was 11 when her father died in 2009, will star in a live action/animated called "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys," based on a famous book series for teenagers.
The film's website says she plays heroine Lundon O'Malley in a story where magic "turns a dolphin into a human, a teenage boy into a dragonfly and a loving jellyfish queen into an evil fairy godmother."
The website, linked from her Twitter page, adds that she will be on the Ellen DeGeneres television show on Wednesday, talking about the movie for the first time.
Her movie debut news comes after a tough few months for the Jackson family, as the star's doctor Conrad Murray stood trial for involuntary manslaughter over his death on June 25, 2009.
