  • Here’s The White Actor Who Will Play Michael Jackson In A Major New Film

    It was only a mater of time until we saw a movie based on the life and times of Wacko Jacko, although what we’re focusing on here is a rather strange (and reportedly true) story of a road trip with a difference.

    The actor in question is Joseph Fiennes (perhaps best known for Shakespeare in Love and American Horror Story), who will play the role of Michael Jackson in a movie that sees Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor escape New York with the musician in the days following September 11, 2001.

    See, told you it was strange. Here’s Fiennes talking to Huffington Post:

    “I got the script the other day…It’s a challenge. It’s a comedy. It doesn’t poke mean fun, but it’s a story, possibly urban legend, whereby Michael, Marlon Brando, and Liz Taylor were all together the day before 9/11 doing a concert. Airspace was shut down and they couldn’t get out and Michael had the bright idea to go to hire a car and drive.”

    Fiennes hinted at humorous moments built around Brando’s incessant desire for fast food along the journey, but suggested it wouldn’t all be fun and happy meals.

    “It’s a fun, lighthearted tongue-in-cheek road trip of what celebrity of that kind is like,” he said. “But also it’s rather beautiful and poignant about their relationships as well.”

    Vanity Fair have looked into the validity of that story in some detail HERE, it’s worth giving that a read just for the sheer oddity of it all.

    I suppose by 2001 Michael had taken on something of a pale appearance – maybe Joseph is just the man for the job.
