Fan CastingMichael Jackson Biopic (Bohemian Rhapsody style)

“Michael” Three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan (“Skyfall,” “Gladiator”) is setting his sights on King of Pop Michael Jackson. His biographical drama “Michael” has been in the works for several years, and Lionsgate has acquired the rights to the film with the Jackson estate’s blessing. Producer Graham King, who previously worked with Logan on Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator,” is also on board. The film will chart Jackson’s meteoric rise to becoming one of the highest-selling artists of all time. (The musical legend’s personal life was also rife with controversy, in particular a string of child abuse allegations dating back to 1993.) The film is still in the development phase, and “Michael” is on the hunt for a director to guide the project. Casting director Kimberly Hardin is on board to assemble the cast—including its lead. Production is tentatively set to start in 2023 in an unnamed location. Get Cast Today Gain access to the best platform for performers and build your career on Backstage. Join Now “Freedom Hair”
