Michael Jackson: Antoine Fuqua to direct the highly anticipated biopic about the King of Pop

Antoine Fuqua, director of the “Equalizer” trilogy and “Training Day” film, will direct the Graham King-produced Michael Jackson biopic.

We knew the name of the producer, now we know the name of the director. It is Antoine Fuqua, 56-year-old American director, who will be in charge of directing the long-awaited biopic of Michael Jackson, the media announce Variety.

“We feel very fortunate that you have chosen Miguel as a next project. His talent and his commitment to his profession will make Miguel an unforgettable film”, welcomed the medium Joe Drake, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, which will distribute the film worldwide.

Bohemian Rhapsody Producer

In the production we will find Graham King, a filmmaker who already has some experience in the exercise: he produced Bohemian Rhapsody and won an Oscar for The infiltrators.

Antoine Fuqua has already made around twenty films in his entire career as a director, which began in 1998 with The replacement assassins. It became known mainly through Training Day in 2001.

It made headlines in spite of itself in 2022. The movie Emancipation, which he directed and which was produced by Will Smith, saw its premiere postponed because of the slap that the actor gave Chris Rock during the Oscar ceremony.
