Who should play MJ in the upcoming movie?

[giantgonzolez]

Should it be somebody famous like Will Smith or Tom Cruise or somebody completly unknown or even an MJ impersonator.

[thejumpa]

The movie will be ****ed up because no one will be able to pull off the look....which a lot of people remember him as. The guy was so unique that getting somebody to play him is going to be harder than just picking Will....

I say...some young dancer for a young mike, Usher for the Thriller, and maybe Pharell for his later days hahaha

[IInvented]

What movie are you talking about?

[B-Low]

Answer: C

The movie shouldn't be made yet. Nobody even knows why/how he died or whats gonna happen with any of his stuff yet they already wanna make a movie

[emsteez forreal]

diana ross

[Knuck the Ficks]

Why do you little douches need a hollywood movie for information? You're much better off researching his life yourself.

[thejumpa]

You guys didn't hear?

They have been talking about all the post-MJ death stuff since like 4-5 days after he passed. It's kind of sad....

Neverland tours,Jackson 5 reunion tours,posthumous albums,all kinds of memorbilia...they are trying to get the debt clear asap

who said they needed a movie for information on his life?

[Knuck the Ficks]

who said they needed a movie for information on his life?
Why else would you watch a movie about a person who actually existed?

[~primetime~]

who the hell is going to be able to take an actor seriously once they hear him try and immitate MJ's feminine voice?

it will come off as a damn SNL skit...

[IcanzIIravor]

Naturally....Denzel.

[miller-time]

even the thriller jackson will be hard to imitate let alone the post dangerous look.

should get some unknown actor/dancer to play him. i'm sure the studio could do voice dubbing and that.

No one that I know of ,but that guy Wylie Draper who played the 'adult Michael' on the "Jacksons: An American Dream" was a startingly close/believable MJJ.:bowdown: He is legendary among MJJ fans ,but the guy died of a rare form of leukemia in 1993(?):(

Here is a short tribute to him:

In stark contrast Flex Alexander played the most horrible/embarrasing MJJ ever imaginable in "Man In The Mirror"(Bio Pic).
MJJ is so unique it will be a task finding someone who could come close to Wylie Draper.:bowdown:

[Interminator]

Its going to be Evan Ross, supposedly its already been agreed to and thats why hes growing his hair.

Add some makeup off course and that is passable as Michael Jackson post-Bad.

Flex? the same cat with the show with his daughter? hahahahahahahah

That Evans cat is a good look....I wonder if they will do any makeup work?

For the dancing, I still say Usher in Thriller....

[Interminator]

Click him with the makeup on looking like Michael Jackson in Whiteface. How they put that crap on TV is ridiculous.:oldlol:

Evan Ross.
Yeah they'll probably do some slight makeup work but really he can pass as post-Bad Michael Jackson considering he doesn't look "too white" or "too dark". He also claims to have recorded with Jackson for his own upcoming debut album.

For a young Michael Jackson I think they should keep it in the family with Rebbie Jackson's son Austin Brown who himself is a singer-songwriter

Nah Usher isnt really in Michael's realm as a dancer, if they are going to do dance scenes they should either train Evan in the same manor that Ray trained Jamie, or they should use one of the countless Michael Jackson dance impersonators who have mastered his moves.

[thejumpa]

Yeah, I guess I haven't seen enough of MJ's impersonators or any of those other dudes. The first thing that pops into my mind is Usher because he used to be on TV 24/7 lol.

That dude with the S-Curl is a good pick for MJ....good eye

I remember Mike in only like 3 phases....young, Thriller, and post-op(s)/disease. They better get all 3 right....

Yeah thats the bad part, they're going to have to get basically 3 different actors to play 3 different phases in the 50 years of 1 mans life.

Usually it only requires 2, 1 child actor and the main actor.

I remember a couple years ago there were talks of a Jackson Family miniseries. No, not like the first film that had two parts, I'm talkin about like Roots.

"Normal fathers don't have uzis under their beds":oldlol:

Man I remembered seeing the beginning of the awful series with Flex ,but I didn't watch it all & was spared from seeing the pigmentless Michael. Looks like he rolled around in some flour or talcum powder:wtf:

I know Michael had issues & some close friends have stated that he may have had a regressed/childlike personality ,but that Movie(Flex) made him look like a functional retard. How can something like that be released?

On top of that MJJ was around 5'10/5'11 & I have heard Flex is around 6'3/6'4 :hammerhead:

MJJ is nearly impossible to cast(Wylie Draper was admirable) & I would as soon watch a fair/factual based documentary more than another pathetic movie.

This Evan guy would be great. Plus he already has that Jackson "look".

Damn Johnny Depp could pull it off with some facial work.......For some reason, I see myself being pissed if they actually used a White guy to play MJ in his later years...

A lot of people would be pissed, Michael himself probably would have been pissed considering he didnt want what happened to him in which he through disease lost his racial identity.
