It was recently announced that the long-awaited biographical film about Michael Jackson is finally happening. After a long worldwide search, the casting directors finally found the perfect candidate to play the King of Pop, and it will be none other than his own nephew, Jaafar. In that spirit, we dug around and found more legendary stars that will be brought to life by modern talents. So let’s see what Hollywood has in store for us.
