Following the trail of his fellow hip-hop music artists who shift into film feature, Houston-based rapper Mike Jones is working his way to make acting debut in a big screen project entitled "American Dream."

Set to bring out "Dream" to the surface in conjunction with Asylum Records and Warner Bros. Records, Jones has brought aboard producers Gregory Anderson and Keith Paschall along with director Derrick Dixon to help him developing the movie. The film itself will be the first from his newly established film production company of the same name.

The follow-up of his last year's "Who Is Mike Jones?" which has gone Platinum, the LP is scheduled to hit the music stores in late November 2006.
