Janet Jackson is moving into the film production business.
The singer/actress has just signed a production deal with Lionsgate, the studio that released three Tyler Perry films in which she starred.
“Many people forget I started out as an actor,” Jackson told The Hollywood Reporter, referring to her TV stints on “Good Times” and “Diff’rent Strokes.”
“I have been fortunate to work in the film industry, though not as much as I would like. I have a passion for storytelling, and have been doing it through my music for some time.”
