Nephew to star in uncle MJ biopic to start filming this year

Fast technology news, the King of Pop Michael Jackson will be played by Jaafar Jackson, the second son of Jermaine Jackson, one of the five Michael brothers. This is the first time that Jaafar has appeared on the screen as the protagonist. The director of the film, Antoine Fuqua, has just finished "Liberation" starring Slap Smith. The black director praised Jaafar as the MJ he had been looking for, and attached a photo of him rehearsing:

"It was very exciting to witness Jaafar bringing Michael back to life. When I first met Jaafar, I knew he was the right person for the job. He is very similar to Michael in temperament and has a great sense of the camera."

The producer of the film had previously participated in "Bohemian Rhapsody". In order to find the ideal actor to play MJ, the production team held a nationwide audition. The producer also thought that Jaafar was the most suitable candidate. He was shocked when he saw the 26-year-old boy for the first time: "We have conducted a nationwide selection. Obviously, he is the most suitable person to play my uncle. I am very excited about this. You will see."

The film is named "Michael" and the script was written by industry veteran John Logan, who has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenplay three times (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator).
