Michael Jackson's illustrious career featured 13 Grammy Awards, two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions, and prestigious accolades like the Grammy Legend and Lifetime Achievement Awards. He earned the "King of Pop" title, boasting 86 Billboard Awards. A biopic about his life is in progress, and the first draft has touched Prince Jackson emotionally.
Prince Jackson talked about the movie, "It’s another great way to learn about my dad but also about the film industry from a pro, right, a certified legend."
This project has given him the chance to perceive his father not only as the King of Pop but as "Daddy," revealing how his life story molded the man they grew up with. Additionally, the film is directed by Graham King, known for his skill in capturing a person's essence.
The initial script draft deeply moved Michael Jackson's son to tears, "After I read the first draft of the script, I called him because I was crying afterwards, and I told him that he had the most authentic picture of my father."
Prince also told Tyson that King is diligent in his research, collecting stories and insights by speaking with people close to MJ, creating a rich narrative. King's previous work on "Bohemian Rhapsody" showcases his storytelling ability, especially in evoking emotions.
This talent will add depth to the portrayal of the King of Pop. Moreover, the film doesn't solely focus on iconic moments like "Billie Jean" or "Motown 25." It aims to provide a holistic view of Michael Jackson's life, helping the audience see him as a human being, not just a pop icon.
