There will be a movie about Michael Jackson. From the producers of “Bohemian Rhapsody”

The Lionsgate film studio, in consultation with Michael Jackson’s last-will performers John Branco and John McClain, intend to produce a biography of the singer using his music. One of the producers will also be Graham King, who was responsible for “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and John Logan (“Gladiator”, “Aviator”) will write the script.

Michael Jackson the protagonist of the film. The creators announce “an in-depth portrait of a complicated man”

As the creators announce, they will show Jackson’s life from his youthful appearances with Jackson’s Five, solo successes to legal struggles related to accusations of child molestation. It is intended to be “an in-depth portrait of the complex man who became king of pop. It will enliven Jackson’s most iconic performances as it provides a conscious insight into the artistic process and the artist’s personal life.” Will the creators manage to avoid creating a card? “Bohemian Rhapsody” – although appreciated, among others for his role as Rami Malik, smoothed out certain aspects of Freddie Mercury’s life.

Michael Jackson died in 2009 at the age of 50. He is counted among the greatest performers and composers and the most popular artists in history. He won, among others 14 Grammy Awards. He is the best-selling solo artist of all time and a pioneer in music videos. He began his career at the age of six in a family band, and in 1971 he released his first solo album. World sales of “Thriller” in 1982 exceeded 100 million copies.

During his career, Jackson was accused of child molestation several times – first in 1993 and then ten years later. In 2005, he was acquitted – the court rejected all charges. In 2019, HBO showed a two-part documentary “Leaving Neverland” in which James “Jimmy” Safechuck and Wade Robson claim the musician abused them sexually when they were children. The public began to doubt the justification of Jackson’s acquittal.
