Jaafar is the son of Jermaine Jackson, brother of the king of pop. The film is called “Michael” and is directed by Antoine Fuqua
The words of the director
“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 make music videos by watching his work. The music and those images are part of my view of the world and the chance to tell its story and music on screen was irresistible.”
Michael Jackson numbers
Jackson is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with 400 million records purchased worldwide. 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 chart in five different decades. For allegations of child sexual abuse that marked the last 16 years of his life, Jackson stood trial and was acquitted on at least one of those counts in 2005. The biopic is expected after the recent “Elvis” on Presley and “Whitney” on Houston.
