迈克尔·杰克逊传记片来了，26岁的亲侄子担任主演

NEW YORK --Michael Jackson's 26-year-old nephew, Jaafar Jackson, will play the King of Pop in the plannedbiopic“Michael” to be directed by Antoine Fuqua.

纽约 -- 迈克尔·杰克逊26岁的侄子贾法尔·杰克逊将在安东尼·福奎阿导演的传记片《迈克尔》中扮演这位流行音乐之王。

Lionsgate announced Jackson's casting Monday for the film being produced by Oscar-winning “Bohemian Rhapsody” producer Graham King. Jackson is the second-youngest son of Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s brother. He’s put out music of his own; in 2019, he released his debut single, “Got Me Singing.” “Michael” will be Jackson's actingdebut.

狮门影业周一宣布了杰克逊的选角，这部电影将由获得奥斯卡奖的《波西米亚狂想曲》制片人格拉汉姆·金制作。迈克尔的哥哥杰梅因·杰克逊膝下有7个孩子，贾法尔排行第6。 贾法尔已经推出了自己的音乐； 2019年，他发布了自己的首支单曲 “Got Me Singing”。 《迈克尔》将是杰克逊的表演处女作。

“I met Jaafar over two years ago and was blown away by the way he organicallypersonifiesthe spirit and personality of Michael,” said King in a statement. “It was something so powerful that even after conducting a worldwide search, it was clear that he is the only person to take on this role."

“两年多前我遇到了贾法尔，看到他身上呈现出的迈克尔的精神和品格后，我感到震撼，”金在一份声明中说。“这是一个非常强大的东西，甚至在进行了全球范围的搜索之后，他也很明显是唯一能够承担这个角色的人。”

On Instagram, Fuqua shared a black-and-white photograph of Jackson in character. Fuqua added in a statement that Jackson “has a natural ability toemulateMichael and such a great chemistry with the camera.”

在Ins上，福奎阿分享了一张出演《杰克逊》的黑白照片。福奎阿在一份声明中补充说，杰克逊“天生就有模仿迈克尔的能力，而且在摄像机前收放自如。”

On Twitter, Jackson said he's “humbled and honored to bring my Uncle Michael’s story to life.”

在推特上，杰克逊说他 “为能演出叔叔迈克尔的故事而感到荣幸。”

“Michael" will be an authorized portrait of the pop star, who died in 2009. The film, scripted by “Gladiator" and “The Aviator” screenwriter John Logan, is being produced with the cooperation of the singer's estate.

《迈克尔》将是这位于2009年去世的流行音乐天王的授权传记。这部电影由《角斗士》和《飞行者》的编剧约翰·洛根(John Logan)编写剧本，与这位歌手的遗产管理公司合作拍摄。

“Jaafarembodiesmy son," Katherine Jackson said in a statement. “It’s so wonderful to see him carry on the Jackson legacy of entertainers and performers.”

“贾法尔的身上有我儿子的影子，”凯瑟琳·杰克逊在一份声明中说。“看到他遗传了杰克逊的才华和表演，真是太美妙了。”

“Michael” is to begin shooting this year.

《迈克尔》将于今年开始拍摄。
