The late Michael Jackson may make a musical comeback through new music featured in an upcoming biopic about his life. Executors of his estate are delving into his archives to uncover potential songs for the film.
Music producers are sifting through unreleased tracks and compositions from Jackson’s recording sessions for the “Thriller,” “Bad,” and “Dangerous” albums. Their objective is to determine if these materials can be utilized for the movie’s soundtrack.
There are speculations that the ultimate aim is to create a song that could potentially earn the late King Of Pop an Oscar nomination. Renowned producer Graham King is overseeing the development of the biopic titled “Michael.”
The estate executors are discreet about the contents of the archives, keeping their plans under wraps. The biopic, featuring Jaafar Jackson, nephew of Michael, aims for a cinematic release in early 2026.
Industry insiders anticipate that the movie will reignite the world’s passion for Michael’s music, including some of his lesser-known tracks. Plans for a greatest hits compilation are in the works, alongside the exciting possibility of new music being produced.
Unfinished ideas and snippets of music recorded by Michael are being reviewed and considered for new compositions. The goal is to match Jackson’s legendary standards of excellence and creativity. The creation of new music could potentially lead to an Oscar nomination for Best Song, a significant achievement for the late artist and his family.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the Jackson biopic has faced challenges, including script revisions due to legal issues. Plot lines related to Jordan Chandler had to be removed to comply with a 1993 legal agreement. The film has also faced criticism for allegedly portraying Jackson sympathetically amidst past child abuse allegations.
