Biopics have always given fans a trip down memory lane. Michael Jackson who is known for his singing and dancing has given the pop industry an evergreen name that is still shining. The popstar has been an inspiration to all and this icon will be relived by his nephew Jaafar Jackson.
The Michael Jackson Biopic is in the Works
The God of dance and music, Michael Jackson is given a tribute in the form of a biopic. The movie is set to hit the screen in 2025. The singer’s nephew Jaafar Jackson will play the role. The biopic will bring back Michael Jackson’s era and his craze in people’s eyes. His life, controversies, and everything will be depicted in a full-length feature.
The film will depict all aspects of Michael Jackson’s life, but it’s uncertain if it will address the controversies surrounding him, particularly the accusations of child sexual abuse. This uncertainty arises because the biopic is being made in collaboration with Jackson’s estate, which has consistently defended him against such allegations.
The movie production starts this year in January 2024. Antoine Fuqua who has directed many biopics will be directing the movie. He said to Entertainment Weekly-
“It’s uncanny how much [Jaafar is] like Michael…Sounds like him, dances like him, sings. It’s uncanny. Graham King, who is a fantastic producer, found him and introduced him to me, and I was blown away.”
Get ready to witness the resurrection of the King of Pop! As the anticipation builds and fans worldwide brace themselves, the upcoming event promises to bring Michael Jackson back to life in a way that will leave audiences in awe.
Stay tuned for a spectacular celebration of music, dance, and the enduring legacy of the legendary King of Pop!” The movie is slated to release on April 18, 2025.
