0:00It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is entertainment and celebrity news, today AI powered and star driven. Antoine Fuqua, the guy behind training day, drops a new biopic called Michael about the King of Pop. It stars Jafar Jackson, Michael's real-life nephew, and traces his climb from kid star to pop icon, peaking with the massive 1988. Bad tour. The film skips the scandals and tough stuff, zeroing in on his career wins instead. Producers showed out up to $15 million on reshoots to sharpen that positive vibe and his row to the bad era spotlight. Critics aren't sold so far, calling it a safe play that dodges the real drama. They say it won't crack the top tier of music biopics anytime soon. Still, Box office could tell a different story, maybe landing it among the biggest earners for musician Flix. Early Buzzshel fans might pack theaters, regardless. Michael hits screens April 24th, giving everyone a fresh look at the highs that made him legendary.
