Michael Jackson’s estate doesn’t seem to miss an opportunity to cash in on the King of Pop. So it comes as no big surprise that a year and a half after the legendary entertainer’s death, a biopic is already in the works.
John Branca, the executor of the Jackson estate, has approached Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock’s Montecito Picture Company about the possibility of producing and financing a Jackson biopic, Variety reports. Pollock confirmed that the two sides are engaged in early talks, the trade mag says.
So who should play Michael Jackson?
According to one of the world’s largest online betting site, Paddy Power, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white (pun intended). The site suggests Johnny Depp, Donald Glover, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and Andre 3000 are the leading candidates for the role, among others.
Paddy Power has Johnny Depp as the odds on favorite. RnB Magazine predicts Bruno Mars. Tell us what you think.
