Late pop star Michael Jackson life and music career will soon be turned into a movie. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ producer Graham King has struck a deal with the Jackson’s estate for the pop star’s life and music rights, with plans to make a feature film based on both.
Deadline reports that the film isn’t intended to be a sanitized rendering of Jackson’s life and the estate will not be involved in the development of the screenplay.
King’s GK Films has retained three-time Oscar-nominated writer John Logan to pen the script. The film currently has no studio or distributor attached.
The film will cover his entire life and career of the pop star, which includes his beginnings with the Jackson Five, a rise to pop super stardom and, later in life, legal struggles with both civil and criminal lawsuits and his mysterious death in 2009 at age 50.
