| Joy's Future Projects | |
| By: JEV Date: April 14, 2013, 5:20 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I decided to open this thread so we can discuss Joy's possible | |
| future projects and talk about her career options and anything | |
| related to this. Bringing some very interesting posts from other | |
| threads: | |

| Yeah, as a long time fan of Joy - I stumbled onto the show | |
| sometime around season 2, season 1 in my country, and became an | |
| instant fan of hers (the show as a whole not so much, lol) - | |
| it's certainly been interesting to see the different phases | |
| she's gone through and I've honestly never been someone who has | |
| wanted or I guess needed to see Joy going to events constantly. | |
| But as you said this is a new phase and it is important for her | |
| to be out there and seen a little bit more even in a small | |
| capacity however if she was constantly at events and not getting | |
| work or auditioning that would not be something I want to see | |
| for her. I'm so happy about her role on Dexter and I can only | |
| hope that it will bring more opportunities her way - personally | |
| I want to see Joy in Indie movies though who knows if that's | |
| something she wants - I'm just excited to see what the future | |
| holds for her. Sorry that was a bit wordy and hopefully it made | |
| sense, lol. | |

| ICAM. I think going overboard isn't good when it comes to | |
| anything. I have personally never understood the connection | |
| between going to a hundred random events and getting work. I | |
| think if you are getting a project based on how active you are | |
| on the red carpet scene then I'm not sure if that project would | |
| be even worth it. The most important aspect is auditioning and | |
| I'm glad she got back to auditioning again. She wasn't on a show | |
| which was critically acclaimed or had huge ratings so the | |
| chances of someone noticing her talent based on that factor are | |
| hardly any IMHO so it is essential for someone in her position | |
| to go out there and audition. | |
| I would love to see her in an indie , I would love to see her in | |
| a dramady or a romantic comedy or drama..anything..lol! I'm so | |
| happy that she is on Dexter even though I haven't even watched a | |
| single ep of the show :P I just hope she keeps on auditioning | |
| and pursuing things that intrest her . | |

| I'm I guess you could say "in the biz" to an extent in my | |
| country - I'm a filmmaker at the very beginning of my career - | |
| so I can understand that part of it in terms of strategy and | |
| PR/Marketing especially as the actors are the face of the | |
| industry for the most part. But I think that works more when you | |
| have something to promote, if you're just going to get your face | |
| out there and not auditioning or making connections behind the | |
| scenes than it really doesn't matter honestly, besides casting | |
| directors or directors/ producers are not going to spend their | |
| time scouting red carpet events to find talent - plus that stuff | |
| is more the realm of "celebrity" and I don't think that's what | |
| Joy wants to be. I think the fact that Joy didn't go to a lot of | |
| events during OTH's run is both a good and a bad thing, on the | |
| one hand she's not as much of a known face as say Sophia or | |
| Chad, so people don't necessarily know who she is but that's | |
| also a good thing IMO because I doubt Joy wants to be known just | |
| for being on OTH so there's more of a chance that she'll become | |
| known for projects she'll be doing in the future or for a body | |
| of work as that builds. Nabbing a role on Dexter is certainly a | |
| step in the right direction as it is critically acclaimed and | |
| the calibre of actors is at a completely different level to that | |
| of OTH so it'll be a great learning experience for Joy as well. | |
| After the news was released about Joy getting a role I watched | |
| the first season and the seventh season of Dexter - it certainly | |
| has it's problems and from what I read the middle seasons | |
| weren't so good but it'll be interesting to see how Joy's | |
| character fits into that world. Plus I'd imagine with it being | |
| the final season more eyes will be on the show to see how it | |
| ends. | |
| In terms of the quality of projects out there, Indie films & | |
| cable shows are where more interesting and better written | |
| projects can be found for sure so that's the avenue I would want | |
| to see Joy go down rather than guest spots on network TV or | |
| terrible studio films that are obviously paycheck jobs but you | |
| never know. Sorry for going off topic - maybe we could move the | |
| discussion elsewhere if it's a problem? | |

| Speaking only for myself, I am saying that OTH as a whole, | |
| especially in its later seasons, was not a very good show. It's | |
| fine in that CW/soap drama-y/teen-twenties audience category, | |
| but as Joy has matured in age and talent, I'd really like to see | |
| her in a show with more substance. | |
