The life and times of the iconic “King of Pop” will be told in a Michael Jackson biopic that will hit theatres in April.
The film will star Michael’s real life nephew Jaafar Jackson.
Check out the first trailer that was just released…
Hollywood continues to go all in with biopics of some of music’s biggest acts.
Over the last few years we’ve seen the lives and careers of the likes of Queen and Elton John told in cinematic form.
More recently it’s been film chronicling artists like Bob Dylan and Bruce Sprinsteen.
I did some digging and here is a list of just some of the other music acts who have biopics in the works…
The Beatles
Madonna
Frank Sinatra
Ozzy And Sharon Osbourne
Billy Joel
Kiss
Britney Spears
Snoop Dogg
Bee Gees
Linda Ronstadt
Janis Joplin
Boy George
Randy Travis
Queen Latifah
Air Supply
Scorpions
The artists gain renewed interest in their music, which likely generates more sales and more concert tickets sold.
Hoping to make successful films, the movie industry takes less of a gamble by telling the story of someone well know and beloved.
It’s like their is this synergy going on huh?
