Written by John Logan and directed by Antoine Fuqua, Michael follows the life and legacy of the influential artist Michael Jackson.
From the producers of Bohemian Rhapsody, the film production is in good hands. Fuqua orchestrates a cinematic story of Jackson’s life, delving deeper than his music, tracing his journey from his childhood singing discovery to his role as lead singer of the Jackson Five. He eventually becomes a visionary artist whose creative ambition rocketed his relentless pursuit to become one of the biggest entertainers in the world.
The film highlights his life on and off stage, featuring solid, iconic performances from his solo career. Jackson’s nephew Jaafar plays his uncle with striking and realistic visuals of a story never told before.
Miles Teller, Nia Long, and Colman Domingo also star in Michael.
Notable films by director Fuqua include Emancipation, The Magnificent Seven (remake), The Equalizer, and Southpaw.
Screenwriter Logan has an impressive list of films as well, including Skyfall, The Aviator, Gladiator, and Rango.
