Michael Jackson Biopic “A Complete Whitewash,” Claims ‘Leaving Neverland’ Director


Reed directed 'Leaving Neverland' in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck claimed they were abused by Jackson.

The biopic has drawn a pedigree team in director Antoine Fuqua, who made Training Day, and writer John Logan, Oscar-nominated for Gladiator, The Aviator and Hugo. The newspaper adds that music sales data suggests that Jackson’s appeal is growing again after his star waned prior to his death in 2009. It cites Sony’s confirmation last month that it will acquire half of Jackson’s catalog in a deal that valued his assets at $1.2 billion — the largest transaction for a single musician’s work.
