The much-anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, aptly titled “Michael,” is gearing up for a worldwide premiere on April 18, 2025.
Lionsgate will be handling the film’s release domestically, while Universal Pictures takes charge of international distribution.
The movie, which commenced production in January, is expected to provide an in-depth exploration of the legendary pop icon’s life.
Behind the scenes, the production boasts a powerhouse team, led by seasoned biopic producer Graham King, renowned for the Oscar-winning Queen film “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
Joining him are co-executors of the Michael Jackson estate, John Branca and John McClain.
The script, a crucial element of any biopic, has been expertly crafted by John Logan, the talented writer behind acclaimed works such as “Gladiator” and “The Aviator.”
While Lionsgate promises a comprehensive portrayal of Michael Jackson’s life, it remains uncertain how the biopic will navigate the various controversies surrounding the late music icon.
The film aims to cover all aspects of Jackson’s life, providing audiences with a nuanced perspective on the enigmatic star.
In an interesting cinematic juxtaposition, April 2025 will not only see the release of “Michael” but also feature the launch of another major studio film ā The Minecraft movie by Warner Bros.
Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, this promises to be a month of diverse cinematic experiences for audiences worldwide.
