Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua Previously, he worked on the films “My Name Is Mohammed Ali,” “Faster Bullets” and “Mayor of Kingstown.” Variety writes about it.
“The first films of my career were music videos and I still feel that the combination of film and music is a big part of who I am. To me, there is no other artist with the power, charisma and sheer musical genius of Michael Jackson. His music and these images are part of my world view and the opportunity to tell his story on the big screen is unique,” said Fuqua.
The film is being produced by Lionsgate. In addition to Antoine Fuqua, producer Graham King, creator of Bohemian Rhapsody and The Departed, and screenwriter John Logan will work on it.
The movie will most likely be called “Michael” and it will tell the story of Michael Jackson from a whole new and deeper side. The film explores all areas of the singer’s life, including his most iconic performances.
Previously, Johnny Depp produced the musical “For The Love Of A Glove” about the life of Michael Jackson. The main narrator of the production was the singer’s famous white glove, which he wore on his left hand. Read more here.
