Director Dan Reed slammed the idea of a brand new Michael Jackson biopicSunday saying that the new film would “glorify a man who abused children.”
The movie, which would focus on the singer’s turbulent childhood onward, is to be produced by Graham King,“No one is talking about ‘canceling’ this movie, which will glorify a man who raped children,” said Reed. “What the total absence of outrage accompanying the announcement of this movie tells us is that Jackson’s seduction is still a living force, operating from beyond the grave.”
“It seems that the press, his fans and the vast older demographic who grew up loving Jackson are willing to set aside his unhealthy relationship with children and just go along with the music,” continued Reed. According to Reed, the brand new film — named “Michael” — is being made in conjunction with the “Thriller” singer’s estate and worries that they will gloss over several accusations against the King of Pop.
“No one is talking about ‘canceling’ this movie, which will glorify a man who raped children,” said Reed.
