Not the least controversial of all biopics.

The director Antoine Fuqua promises that every aspect of his life, no matter how scandalous, will be addressed in Michael. And it is the son of Jermaine Jackson, nephew of the King of Pop, who will play his uncle on screen, while Colman Domingo will play his tyrannical father, Joe Jackson, and Miles Teller will play his historical agent.

He will sing himself on this film which will specifically tell the story of the creation of the cult album Nebraska. At the moment, filming has not yet officially started. With titles like “Atlantic City” And “Open All Night”, Nebraska marked a turning point in the boss's career and received widespread praise.

The director of fighter And Happiness Therapy will film Selena Gomez.
