Currently this film is in the works right now, expected to be done by next year.. Jafaar Jacson will be playing the main character and also known as his uncle, Michael Jackson. One way to get ready before watching this movie is to listen to his music by starting with his classics, well maybe way more before his classics. Michael Jackson started his career in a musical group created by his family called “The Jackson 5” with the members being: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. Michael was only 5 years old when he first started singing and getting started on a new journey, which only few could see his potential at the time. It’s been said also that this biopic will start when he’s in jackson 5 according to his fanbase on twitter. Moving on, MJ began his solo career while simultaneously performing with the Jackson 5. At the age of 13 he released his very first debut solo album titled Got to be there (1971). Then had his first solo number 1 single chart with the title track from his album Ben (1972). As his success kept growing Michael followed those albums with Music and Me (1973) and Forever; Michael (1975) and these last albums were the closure with Motown Records. Later, Michael had released Off the wall (1979) under his new agency Epic Records and produced by Quincy Jones. Off the wall was a new and fresh start because it was heavily influenced by the genres of pop and funk. Thanks to Off the wall’s fame, Jackson 5’s “album” Triumph sold more than 1 million copies and the brothers went on tour to support the recording. Then Michael, while trying new sounds, he achieved a massive success with his 6th album titled Thriller (1982), making this the best selling album of all time and took home 8 grammys. Thanks to Thriller’s release, Jackson’s fame rose even higher making him a musical phenomenon and well known as the king of pop. In conclusion, MJ’s biopic offers a candid and intimate portrayal of the legendary musician’s life, showcasing his immense talent, personal struggles, and lasting impact on the music industry.
