First, a Biopic is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person, often a famous or historically significant one.

INTRO

I was on the web today when I across this trailer and I was so happy seeing it.

Fans like me have dreamed of watching a real Michael Jackson story that captures the stars life. And now, that dream is finally gonna come true.

The upcoming film "Michael" has everyone talking, not just because it's directed by Antoine Fuqua (known for Training Day and The Equalizer), but because Michael Jackson's real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, will be playing the role.

Who better to play Michael Jackson than someone who carries his DNA? LOL

It just feels poetic hearing one family member carrying the legacy of another.

The resemblance between Jaafar Jackson and the star is so muchh. I initially thought it was an old video of Michael Jackson.

Would it be a Bomb Movie

Well, expectations are pretty high. Playing a legend like Michael Jackson is more than just a role; you could see it as a responsibility. Every move, gesture, emotion will be looked at very closely by fans and will be compared with the real thing. If any of these is contrary to the memory of how the star behaved, there would be uproar.

The real question now is: Would Jaafar Jackson be able to rise to the challenge and give fans a good performance and mimic his uncle perfectly?

Trailer Review

The film portrays the story of Michael Jackson's life beyond the music. Rewinding the hands of time to when he first discovered his extraordinary talent, moved up to become the lead sing of Jackson Five and eventually a visionary artist and the King of Pop.

I have seen clips on YouTube and I could observe that Jaafar seemed to have his Uncles nice talking voice, his smile and aura.

Sources say it would be released in cinemas on 24th of April, 2026.

I am Anticipating.
