Director Antoine Fuqua has made a film about Michael Jackson’s creative journey—from his performances with the Jackson 5 to achieving the status of "King of Pop." The lead role is played by the singer's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, marking his acting debut. The film was produced by Lionsgate, GK Films, and Optimum Productions.

According to Variety, the film's commercial success could prompt Lionsgate to greenlight production on at least one more movie about the life of Michael Jackson.
