Famous singers are almost always enigmas. Far more prone to contradictions and complexities than normal folk. Fortunately for music fans, some of the most enigmatic stars have been successfully portrayed on screen as of late.
It would certainly take a lot of courage for an actor to take on roles like Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Elvis, Johnny Cash or Whitney Houston- but it has paid off. This recent run of success may have emboldened one studio to take on the star whose legacy is perhaps the most complex of all- Michael Jackson.
Film production will begin later this year with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua behind the camera. No announcement yet as to who will be portraying the King of Pop. The film, simply dubbed ‘Michael’ is due for a 2025 release date.
