Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Miles Teller in talks to play Michael Jackson attorney in Michael Jackson biopic.


Top Gun: Maverick heartthrob Miles Teller is negotiating a potential role as one of Michael Jackson’s lawyers in a biopic of the late King Of Pop.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, whose work includes Training Day and The Equalizer, the upcoming film will see Michael played by his nephew Jaafar.

Rustin star Colman Domingo will star as the Jackson Five’s formidable father Joe, with Nia Long playing the family matriarch Katherine.

Production on the film started last month with producers including ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’s’ Graham King and the co-executors of the Michael Jackson estate, John Branca and John McClain.

Fuqua declared how he was “blown away” by how much Jaafar – the son of Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson – channels his famous uncle in the picture.

In the trending video, Tekashi 6ix9ine, is seen as he got out of his Ferrari in shorts and a white singlet. He greeted his friends and went straight for the other door of his car.

After that, he opened the car door for his new girlfriend, La Piry. 

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was released on bond Thursday after a Dominican Republic judge found that the evidence brought forward by prosecutors was not enough to keep him in jail following his arrest on domestic violence.

The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, had been in custody in Santo Domingo since January 17 after Wanda Díaz, the mother of his girlfriend and rapper, Yailin La Más Viral, accused him of assaulting them both last year.

Each of those three men provided legal counsel to Michael at various stages as he fended off allegations that he was a child molester.

Michael died at the age of 50 in 2009 from a cardiac arrest he suffered after having Propofol administered as a sleep aid. 

His legacy has come under renewed scrutiny in recent years because of the long-running accusations that he sexually abused children.

Although Michael was acquitted in 2005, the allegations have persisted in the public square, including in the 2019 docuseries Leaving Neverland. 

Meanwhile the upcoming biopic, which is entitled simply Michael, is scripted by three-time Oscar nominated screenwriter John Logan.

John’s filmography has a writer has included such memorable pictures as Gladiator, SkyFall, The Aviator and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street.
