It's a story that was always destined for the big screen – and now, it finally arrives. Michael promises to chronicle the extraordinary journey of an extraordinary artist, from the discovery of his prodigious talent as a child to his transformation into a visionary who redefined music and became the world’s greatest entertainer. The short but stirring trailer is a showreel of highlights of Jackson’s legendary career – sell-out stadiums, Thriller, and the infamous moonwalk – but is most keen to showcase the transformative performance from Jaafar Jackson at its heart. The young star marks his very first film by portraying his uncle with uncanny ability. He’s supported not only by a fine ensemble that includes Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo, but is also backed by a creative who know how to make a hit. Michael is directed by award-winning filmmaker Antoine Fuqua, written by three-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of Gladiator and The Aviator John Logna, and produced by the Academy Award-winning producer of Bohemian Rhapsody Graham King.
