We knew the name of the producer, we now know the name of the director. It is Antoine Fuqua, 56-year-old American director, who will be in charge of directing the awaited biopic of Michael Jackson, announce the media Variety.
“We feel very lucky that he chose Michael as a next project. His talents and his commitment to his profession will make Michael an unforgettable film”, welcomed the media Joe Drake, president of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, which will distribute the film worldwide.
Bohemian Rhapsody Producer
In the production, we will find Graham King, a filmmaker with already some experience of the exercise: he produced Bohemian Rhapsody and won an Oscar for Infiltrators.
Antoine Fuqua has already made some twenty films in his entire career as a director, which began in 1998 with The Replacement Killers. He became known mainly through Training Day in 2001.
He made the news despite himself in 2022. The film Emancipation, which he directed and which was produced by Will Smith, saw its release postponed because of the slap in the face given to Chris Rock by the actor during the Oscars ceremony.
An episode that overshadowed Antoine Fuqua’s film when it was finally released in theaters in December 2022.
