First Pictures of Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson

[Niamh.]

:umm2:


It was announced almost a year ago that Joseph Fiennes would be playing Michael Jackson in a TV movie and now we have our first look at the BAFTA nominee in the role.

We're not going to lie, it's a little bit creepy....

If you haven't heard of the project, Fiennes' turn as former King of Pop is for the Sky Arts series Urban Myths. His segment will focus on the urban myth that Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando went on a roadtrip from New York to California in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Taylor is being portrayed by Stockard Channing while Brian Cox is taking a run at Brando.

You can watch the trailer below and to be fair it does look like it could be gas so we'll reserve judgement on Fiennes until the show airs.

Eddie Marsan, Rupert Grint, Iwan Rheon, Ben Chaplin, and Aidan Gillen also star as various historical figures.

That's Joseph, not Ralph. Ralph played Voldermort, his brother is Joseph who is Michael Jackson.

[Vicky.]

Looks more like a half melted version of Johnny Depps Willy Wonka :umm2:

[Brother Leon]

Taking the ****ing piss.

[LukeB]

Welp... he looks like he's making a comedy/parody type of film. I don't know this film will be serious with him looking like that.

[Kazanne]

Paris is not happy about it,and I can't blame her ,it's ridiculous,surely SFX can do better than that, it's a blinking insult.

What is a Ganger? One of those duplicate people?

He looks nothing like Michael Jackson. In that make-up, Joseph Fiennes resembles Odo with hair from Deep Space Nine.

first one

[Kizzy]

It's not a bad representation, to be fair he looked at best 'unique' before he died... Who could in all seriousness carry that look off?

From what I heard on the radio earlier, his daughter was un happy that he was being played by a white man

[MB.]

Did his daughter want a black man to 'white up' for the role then? Or did she want them to find an actor with vitiligo who just happened to be able to do a really good Michael Jackson impression?
