there is a movie coming out.
Albert Fiennes stars as Michael Jackson.
Stockard Channing looks similar to Elizabeth Taylor.
She plays the role well.
In an interview in the '90's, Michael Jackson had said that he was proud of being Black, in spite of the disease.
He did have a skin pigment disease.
If a Black actor played the role, he would have a more difficult time with makeup.
-
They can do plenty with makeup these days, age you, change your color, change your gender and etc. Technology has seen to that.
-
I cannot wait to see it.
-
Thriller is the best song ever. Michael was the best musician in hostory
-
I really miss his song and dance.
-
Joseph Fiennes is playing Michael Jackson.
I think it's an interesting choice, he's a fine actor. I read where it's a British show, not American.... they are not so hung up on black / white like here in America. & even here, look at the play "Hamilton" on Broadway - our founding fathers are all played by minorities... they had a public "No Whites Need Apply Casting Call". The world is changing.
For the Harry Potter Movies, they only hired British actors... can you imagine the outrage here in America if a movie said only American actors? Does that happen here? I don't think so.
I like Michael Jackson, it was a sad end :(
-
Ya I saw the preview on the movie I'll probably watch it when it come to tv.
-
I haven't seen this advertised yet. I always liked MJ and love the song Thriller too. I think this is something I would like to see.
-
It's not even a movie.
It was/is a 1/2 hour tv show about Urban Legends. The story is about Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando going on a car trip from New York to Los Angeles after 9-11. It was just going to be a dramatization reenactment. The UK pulled the episode due to Paris Jackson's reaction.... according to the news on Bing.
So none of us will see it.
-
If it gets a good rating I think I might watch it. I know I saw a TV movie about him a long time ago. I don't think I really liked it.
-
I love his music,,,,, was not real crazy about him in his later years. will I watch this new movie coming out ?? Don't really know. i might wait and see what everyone else thinks about it before I watch it,,,
-
I heard yesterday they cancelled that episode. Michael's daughter, Paris, wasn't very happy about it. Which really you can't blame her, it's her dad. I did seem him in the make up, thought it was an interesting choice.
-
I love Michael Jackson but he will be missed
-
sounds like an interesting movie I would like to see! :)
-
I'm starting to think maybe I'm the only one around that really couldn't care less about Michael Jackson. I don't like him or dislike him more either way lol
-
There was a similar movie to this I saw on Vh1 several years ago. I'd be happy to see this one.
-
I think Michael Jackson's kid was upset that a white person played their dad.
-
I haven't seen the advertisement yet. I am also not very good with Actor/Actresses names. So maybe when I see the face I can relate the name as well. I hope it's a good one! Billy Jeans is my favorite one!
-
Wow! Didn't know this till now!
-
I saw the preview. I don't think he makes a good Michael. Very disappointed.
-
I am not sure if Ralph Fiennes is right for the character when there are so many other African American actors who can do the job. I am white, and even I know that there are going to be some issues with a white actor doing black face. Unsure on this one . . .
-
Correction to myself: Joseph Fiennes. But still wrong when there are other African American actors to do the part.
You do not see people casting black actors to play white actors. Inappropriate . . .
-
I did want to see it but I'm on the fence for this one. I'm not happy about Joseph Fiennes playing Michael. Can't picture who they would have taken but I'm not a Joseph Fiennes fan period. I think I'll wait till it's free to watch on line or on Netflix.
-
I did not know they are doing a movie with MJ. Is there any controversy about who is playing the leading role? It would appear maybe not a whole lot of actors are willing to be cast in that role because ...? I had not heard much about it but I am in the dark with topics pertaining to celebrities.
-
:) :) :)love all his songs

What about the play Hamilton... there are black actors playing white people.
The 1/2 reenactment show on Urban Legends is/was in the UNITED KINGDOM, therefore the term 'African-American' would not apply to a British Black actor. But, they could have picked a better fit for the role, true.
There is no movie planned about MJ. The one half-hour urban legend show was MJ as a character has been pulled... no show.
Funny, this is like that childhood game of telephone where the story changes as it goes on. lol
-
I am not a big fan of Michael Jackson
-
I love Michael Jackson, cannot wait to see the movie.
-
I love MJ. Haven't anything about it. Will be interesting to see.
-
Im 50/50... It might be interesting
-
