New 'Michael' Biopic Faces Backlash

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, the film is projected to have a record-breaking seventy-million-dollar opening weekend.

Members of the Jackson family have publicly defended the movie, accusing the media of trying to control the narrative of the King of Pop’s legacy.

However, the director of the explosive documentary 'Leaving Neverland' has labeled the biopic a 'whitewash' of Jackson’s crimes.

The film’s stars, including Colman Domingo and Nia Long, have suggested that a potential sequel could address the more difficult aspects of Jackson’s life.

Despite the critical backlash, the movie is expected to be a massive commercial success, particularly in Jackson’s hometown of Gary, Indiana.
