Lionsgate has released a final trailer for Michael, its upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. The footage tracks Jackson’s rise from the Jackson 5 era through Off The Wall and Bad, putting the focus squarely on the biggest moments of his solo career.
Antoine Fuqua directs, and the trailer suggests a polished crowd-pleaser approach to the material. Based on this look, the film seems more concerned with celebrating the music and mythology than digging into the messier parts of Jackson’s story.
