Michael is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the award-winning filmmaker of Training Day, Olympus Has Fallen and The Equalizer franchise, from a screenplay by three-time Academy Award® nominee John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator), the film is produced by Academy Award® winner Graham King (The Departed, Bohemian Rhapsody) for his company GK Films, John Branca (executive producer This Is It, Thriller 40) and John McClain (executive producer This Is It, Thriller 40). The film is distributed by Lionsgate in North America and Japan (in partnership with Kino Films) and by Universal Pictures internationally.
