Michael Jackson Biopic Delays Release to Fall 2025

It has already been known that Michael Jackson's life will be brought to life on the screen, but it seems that it will not be until recently when we can see his biographical film. The project directed by Antoine Fuqua was originally scheduled to hit theaters next April, but now its release has been postponed by several months. Regardless, it looks like it will be worth the wait!

Az Antoine Fuqua rendezésében készülő projekt eredetileg jövő áprilisban érkezett volna a mozikba, ám most jó néhány hónappal elhalasztották a megjelenését. A jelek szerint ettől függetlenül érdemes lesz kivárni!
