Michael Jackson ‘biopic’ gets first look – the trailer

Michael: first trailer unveiled for controversial Michael Jackson biopic comes to the reality, starring Jafaar Jackson in the titular role.

It’s too early to tell if the film’s plot will be any good, but the film’s soundtrack, released on April 24, is sure to be excellent.

Michael is already a controversial film, because Michael Jackson was a controversial man. The film received the backing of the Jackson estate, and the singer’s nephew Jaafar Jackson is playing the titular role.

Their involvement naturally led critics to suspect that the movie wouldn’t take a hard look at the allegations of child sexual abuse against Jackson. In fact, the allegations were reportedly included in the script, though Puck‘s Matt Belloni claimed the movie “wants very much to convince you Michael is innocent.”

Portraying the situation at all became tricky when it was discovered that a legal agreement was made with Jackson accuser Jordan Chandler’s family never to depict them in any dramatization of Jackson’s life. As a result, Fuqua and co. supposedly had to reconfigure the film’s entire third act after it had largely already been shot.
