Michael Jackson fans, there’s some good news in store. The much-awaited biopic about the King of Pop is ready to arrive on the big screens this month. Titled Michael, the movie, directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, features Jackson’s real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson, playing the titular role. Michael was originally scheduled to premiere on October 3, last year, but the project was pushed back due to extensive reshoots (22 days), a lengthy, 3.5-hour initial cut that required extra post-production time and a particular scene starring Jordan Chandler’s character, which posed certain legal restrictions.
