The trailer for Lionsgate's music biopic "Michael" starring Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo and Miles Teller. Directed by Antoine Fuqua. The King of Pop is back from the dead to play the greatest hits. And that's about it. "Michael" is the first of a two-part biopic of the late music icon Michael Jackson. And it's truly a family affair. Not only was it produced by the Michael Jackson estate, all of his siblings are listed as executive producers (minus Janet Jackson — due to pre-existing drama with the estate — she doesn't even appear in the film!) and his own nephew Jaafar (son of Jermaine Jackson) was cast to play the "Man in the Mirror" himself. The problem with keeping it in the family is that at the end of the day, they didn't really make a movie. They made an infomercial. ‘LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY' REVIEW: A GRUESOME REIMAGINING OF CLASSIC HOLLYWOO
