The highly anticipated Michael Jackson<\/strong> biopic is already making headlines, but not all of them are positive. Paris Jackson, the late singer\u2019s daughter, has called out the Michael Jackson biopic as \u2018dishonest\u2019 and \u2018pandering.\u2019 As per Vanity Fair<\/a>, MJ\u2019s daughter had taken to social media, claiming that she had no tangible involvement with the film.<\/p>\n Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, \u2018Michael\u2019 has been in development since 2019, helped by the Jackson estate. The movie is set to be released on April 24, 2026. This decision comes after multiple rewrites and re-shoots due to several legal constraints tied to the Jackson estate.<\/p>\n Actor Colman Domingo, who plays Joe Jackson, recently shared his views on MJ\u2019s kids\u2019 involvement in the film. In an interview at the Venice film festival, he shared that Paris Jackson and brother Prince Jackson were \u2018lovely\u2019 and \u2018very supportive\u2019 of the production. But, the 28 year old model, actress and singer quickly took to Instagram, setting the record straight. \u201dDon\u2019t be telling people I was \u2018helpful\u2019 on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in. That is weird,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Paris clarified that her involvement with the biopic extended only to the early stages of script writing. She had read a preliminary draft, and shared her views on it. The model added that she found the initial draft \u2018dishonest\u2019, and had raised concerns about the same. \u201cWhen they didn\u2019t address it, I moved on with my life. Not my circus, not my monkeys,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n Paris openly criticized the creative direction of the film. However, she did highlight that some Michael Jackson fans will likely embrace it. She added, \u201cA big section of the film panders to a very specific section of my dad\u2019s fandom that still lives in that fantasy, and they\u2019re gonna be happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n The question that arises here is this: should the audience choose between honoring a global superstar\u2019s complicated legacy or cater to fan nostalgia?<\/p>\n Originally reported by Sejal Singh on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Paris Jackson Fires Back at Michael Jackson Biopic, Calls It \u2018Not My Circus\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic is already making headlines, but not all of them are positive.
