Lifetime Announces Michael Jackson Biopic

The biopics continue at Lifetime. The network has announced that it is developing a biopic surrounding the late pop singer, Michael Jackson. Titled, “Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland”, the film will be based on the best-selling book, Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days.

Told through the eyes of the singer’s bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard, the film will star Navi, who is a MJ impersonator. This will be Navi’s acting debut. The film will also star Chad L. Coleman as Whitfield. Suzanne de Passe, Madison Jones and Robert Teitel are executive producing. Searching for Neverland is produced by Silver Screen (“The Craigslist Killer”). Dianne Houston is directing from a script by Elizabeth Hunter. Production is set to begin in February.
