Jaafar is the son of Jermaine Jackson, brother of the King of Pop. The film is called “Michael” and will be directed by Antoine Fuqua
The director’s words
“For me, there is no artist with the power, charisma and sheer musical brilliance of Michael Jackson,” said director Antoine Fuqua. “I was influenced to do music videos by seeing his work. The music and these images are part of my view of the world and the chance to tell his story and music on screen was irresistible.”
Michael Jackson numbers
With 400 million records sold worldwide, Jackson is one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has 13 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era, and was the first artist to have a top 10 single on that list in five different decades. Jackson stood trial on allegations of child sexual abuse that defined the last 16 years of his life and was acquitted of at least one of those charges in 2005. The biopic is expected after the recent “Elvis” over Presley and “Whitney” over Houston.
