The wait is over — Michael Jackson biopic hits cinemas

The King of Pop is back on the big screen and fans are rushing to secure their seats.

The highly anticipated biopic Michael officially lands in New Zealand cinemas, bringing the story of Michael Jackson to a new generation. Ever since the first trailer dropped months ago, excitement has been building, with longtime fans and newcomers eager to see the legend’s life retold on screen.

At the heart of the film is a deeply personal portrayal by his real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson, whose striking resemblance has already sparked buzz. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, best known for The Equalizer films, the project promises a cinematic take on one of music’s most iconic and complex figures.

The film traces Jackson’s journey from his childhood in Gary, Indiana, through his early rise with the Jackson 5, to the launch of his solo career and global superstardom. Produced by Lionsgate, Michael captures both the brilliance and intensity of a career that spanned decades.

With the film now in cinemas, it’s shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest releases.
