Biopic’s are a tricky thing to nail. The New Edition Story is an example of how it should be done.
After watching the trailer I have a lot of doubts on this project. At best i’m expecting Snakes On A Plane level bad/entertainment. Here’s more info on the Memorial Day release.
“Searching for Neverland,” based on a 2014 book by the late King of Pop’s former bodyguards Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard, focuses on the final years of Jackson’s life. In the trailer, we catch glimpses of the star ― played by the self-proclaimed “world’s greatest” MJ impersonator Navi ― balancing his home life, on the infamous Neverland Ranch, with his fame and celebrity. To be honest, Navi makes a pretty convincing Jackson in some moments.
Lifetime has a spotty track record with Biopics. The lack of resemblance with Michael sticks out like a sore thumb but you be the judge. Check out the trailer below.
