Former President Barack Obama’s elder daughter is selecting movie scripts for executives at a Hollywood production company, according to a new report.

Malia Obama, 18, began interning with the Weinstein Company this week, TMZ reported Wednesday, adding it confirmed her role in Weinstein’s development and production department with sources at the company.

Obama reads through possible film scripts and decides which ones move on to Weinstein brass, TMZ reported, noting that the firmer first daughter is a paid intern and the internship will last until spring.

Past hit films produced by Weinstein include “The King’s Speech,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “Django Unchained” and “Good Will Hunting.”

Obama reportedly attended the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last week before starting her internship at the New York-based film company. . .

That a major film studio would entrust an 18-year-old to pick which scripts were read by the producers is hard to believe.

And that’s how you ensure only the right messaging gets sent out in Hollywood. Toss anything that doesn’t endorse her politics right in the trash.

I wonder if Barky would let her go work with Roman Polanski?

Remake of “The Grifters”.

As someone else said, she's undoubtedly tasked to go through the "slush pile" (the scripts that none of the professionals wanted to wade through) to see if — against all odds — any of them might be worth anyone's time.

"... so, ok, there's like this dude, and he, like, digs getting all high & stuff, and he's, like into bath-houses in Chicago, so then this other guy, he's like an old hippie, but with money and knows all these important people and stuff, he like gets together with the other dude..."

that must have been quite a pitch :)

As a Democrat, she is steeped in fantasy rhetoric. She might prove able in selecting fantasy films.

I wonder what kind of grades she got in math, science, and foreign languages.

“Nope - not enough blacks.”

“Nope - too many white men.”

“Nope - why does the little Maltese dog have to be white?”

“Nope - why does it have to be US flags on the coffins?”

“Nope - too many white lines on the highways.”

Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas, go straight to anywhere where we don’t have to ever hear your names again.
