Michael Jackson biopic trailer is hailed as a crowd-pleasing hit after Lionsgate unveiled FIRST look of the King of Pop being portrayed by his nephew Jaafar
The trailer for Michael, the highly-anticipated biopic about Michael Jackson, was reportedly a 'crowd-pleasing hit' at CinemaCon, according to Variety.
The sneak peek did not disappoint as it began with Jackson (portrayed in the movie by the legend's own nephew Jaafar) on stage as he performed some of his greatest hits, including Man in the Mirror and Thriller. After reading a draft for Michael, the British filmmaker, whose two-part documentary explored allegations of sexual abuse against the King of Pop, expressed outrage over how the movie discredited Wade Robson and James Safechuck 'contention that Jackson was a pedophile,' according to Variety. Logan, 62, has a long proven track record as a playwright and filmmaker, writing or co-writing the likes of Gladiator (2000), The Aviator (2004), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007), Hugo (2011) and the James Bond 007 films Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).
