Movie Fans React With Disgust To News That A Michael Jackson Biopic That ‘May’ Gloss Over Disturbing Allegations Is In The Works

  • A biopic about the late Michael Jackson is in the works.
  • The film will be produced with the cooperation of Jackson’s estate.
  • Movie fans are reacting to the news with predictable confusion and disgust.

Earlier this week, it was announced that a biopic about the late Michael Jackson was in the works.

Already a complicated endeavor given Jackson’s legal issues, the film is even more suspect considering the fact that it’s “being made with the cooperation of the Michael Jackson estate,” according to .

According to a press release announcing the distribution deal, “‘Michael’ will give audiences an in-depth portrayal of the complicated man who became the King of Pop. It will bring to life Jackson’s most iconic performances as it gives an informed insight into the entertainer’s artistic process and personal life.” [via Variety]

Naturally, given Jackson’s troubled history and the fact that his family was going to be involved in the production of the film, movie fans had quite incredulous reactions to the news, particularly given the fact that Variety reports the involvement of the Jackson estate “may impact how it deals with the multiple allegations of child sexual abuse.”

To make matters worse, the film is set to be shepherded by Bohemian Rhapsody producer Graham King. Despite the fact that Bohemian Rhapsody scored five Academy Award nominations and won four of them (including a Best Actor win for Rami Malek), the general opinion of the film has not aged well at all, as it’s not only sitting at a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes but it’s also achieved negative virality as movie fans have since noticed just how awful it actually is:

At this time, no director is attached to the project and the role of Michael Jackson has not been cast. There is also no indication of when the film will begin production or be released. To whoever decides to take on the task of playing Michael Jackson, we can only say good luck.
