About
A biopic about Michael Jackson, from his childhood as lead singer of the Jackson 5 to the start of his solo career.
Antoine Fuqua's Michael is a biographical drama about Michael Jackson, played by Jaafar Jackson, with Juliano Krue Valdi as the young Michael. The film begins in the 1960s, when Joseph Jackson (Colman Domingo) forms a band with his sons and makes Michael the lead singer. After long rehearsals, the Jackson 5 are spotted by Suzanne de Passe in Chicago and later sign with Motown. As the group becomes a success, Berry Gordy (Larenz Tate) sees more potential in Michael as a solo artist. Nia Long plays Katherine Jackson.
