With the recent furore over the Urban Myths show and also the news about the upcoming Lifetime movie, I've been thinking about whether a serious Michael Jackson biopic is a good idea and what it might look like.
I actually think done properly (accurate and with attention to detail) this could be a huge asset to Michael's legacy and his memory. And I think logically there should be huge interest in this in Hollywood, by serious directors and top actors because Michael's life is literally the most epic story of our time. His life and experiences encompass every human emotion, reflect the best and worst of human nature and could teach so many profound lessons about life and the world. So if done properly with heart and serious effort - think great method acting like Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything or Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln - I think it would be hugely critically acclaimed and win Oscars, etc. And most importantly it would help people finally understand Michael, see what a great person he was and get past the prejudices.
What do people think? And who do you think would need to initiate something like this - the Estate? the family?
