The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, "Michael," will be moved up for a worldwide release on April 24, dropping its previous October date.
Lionsgate has taken over distribution in the United States, while Universal will distribute worldwide – with the exception of Japan.
Kino Films is handling the Japanese distribution. The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua, with a screenplay by John Logan. Jackson is played by Jafar Jackson, the grandson of the King of Pop. Graham King, who won an Oscar for 'The Departed,' is producing.
According to the film's official synopsis: "Michael" chronicles the global superstar's journey to becoming known worldwide as the King of Pop, offering an intimate look into the life and enduring legacy of one of the most influential and iconic artists humanity has ever known."
In May, Lionsgate CEO John Feltheimer said the film would “likely” be pushed back to 2026. Although filming wrapped in May 2024, the project went through reshoots and the initial editing was lengthy. There were even thoughts of splitting it into two parts. The latest information, according to international media reports, is that the production budget is $155 million. The film will be released by FX on Valentine’s Day 2026.
