Michael Jackson Biopic Likely Splitting into Two Movies and Delaying Release Date


Antoine Fuqua's upcoming Michael Jackson biopic may be split into two movies and will likely push its current Oct. 3 release date.

Larenz Tate will star as Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, while Laura Harrier will play portray pioneering female music executive Suzanne de Passe and Kat Graham will appear as the legendary Diana Ross. Other cast members include Jessica Sula (“Split”) as La Toya Jackson, Michael’s older sister; Liv Symone (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”) as Gladys Knight; Kevin Shinick (“Robot Chicken”) as Dick Clark; KeiLyn Durrel Jones (“The Other Two,” “How to Die Alone”) as Jackson’s former security-turned-trusted friend and confidante Bill Bray; and Kendrick Sampson (“Insecure”) as industry icon Quincy Jones, who first met Michael Jackson when he was just 12 years old. And for me, I was like, ‘Yeah, but he also created some legendary performers and this legacy of a family.’ I’m like, I want to know who that man is,” Domingo told Variety earlier this year.
