this has to be a comedy right and not a biopic.

edited.

But seriously, I refuse to believe that's real. Looks like a cheap comedy sketch from 2003.

Holy shit damn what is wrong with people

Is this gonna be a comedy?

"Urban Myths: A Brand New Collection of Comedies"

Hmm, I do wonder.

Jesus christ...

 

[Mesousa]

Surely they could've found a black person to play him.

Honestly in terms of very popular historic figures(Which Michael is now) I feel like casting should be race neutral these days.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

here'a a youtube version of the trailer.

Thank the lord its a comedy.

 

[TaterTots]

LOL. This is part of a comedy mini series I think. Maybe they were trying to make him look that BAD.

 

[Pillville]

Michael Jackson is being played by Joseph Fiennes.

I think they meant Ralph Fiennes

Good Lord! These mofos didn't even try.

 

[John Kowalski]

Is this like some weird irish comedy or what

I want to see the Hitler episode

 

[HStallion]

Wrong Fiennes

 

[Enduin]

Wrong Fiennes

I am very well aware.

 

[enzo_gt]

Should've went with

 

[mrklaw]

When is this out? Sky put up a trailer on youtube and don't even say when it's broadcast

 

[Baroquemantic]

Holy shit at that image. Yikes.

Jesus christ...

Holy. Hell.

Director should've stopped this in its concept stage.

 

[skypunch]

I was just about to mention this

That looks nothing like MJ.

Holy. Hell.

Director should've stopped this in its concept stage.

This looks even less like MJ.

 

[Piccoro]

What have they done?

[LordKasual]

how surprising

 

[Goodstyle]

That.... that is a horror movie villain.

 

[Hypemaster]

This is what y'all wanted

 

[QuantumZebra]

The picture is horrific, yes, but there is something horribly prophetic (or just ironic... or just weird?) on the first page:

Prince, but his acting sucks.

God, what a fucking awful year 2016 is/was.

 

[SL128]

Making in argument that a white actor would look more like MJ is understandable until you pick that guy who looks nothing like him.

 

[wumster3000]

Good Lord! These mofos didn't even try.

LMAO...Gaf, you all are hilarious!

 

[Saint Gregory]

Damn, even Scary Movie 3 did a better job

The saddest thing about this mess.

[wenis]

I knew it looked familiar! It's the same prosthetics they used in The Beast!

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

How white skinned was MJ when this movie is taking place?

 

[pelicansurf]

That looks great for a comedy. I'm laughing already.

 

[iPaul93]

What the hell is this?

 

[system11]

That series of photos of Michael from child to just before he died, those are so sad.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

It should be a crime to fuck up this bad. Like I would be satisfied if someone involved in creating this were imprisoned for it

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Poor Joseph Fiennes. Always in he shadow of his more talented, more attractive older bro.

Making shit like this doesn't help...

[dramatis]

This. Super light skin doesn't magically make you not Black.

In this case I can't help but wonder if a black actor might have dodged destroying his career

 

[skypunch]

That series of photos of Michael from child to just before he died, those are so sad.

It's sad that MJ got older?

 

[mantidor]

That looks great for a comedy. I'm laughing already.

Seriously.

It has to be on purpose, Fiennes has the facial features to pull of a resemblance without needing that much work, this is very lazy and it should be so easy to fix, MJ has a very distinctive look post-surgeries.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Jesus christ...

Man he looks like a cross between Winona Ryder in Stranger Things and Steve Oedekerk in Kung Pow. I'm confused.

 

[BigBeauford]

If they were going with using a white person, how did they not go with the son from nip tuck?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Real MJ:

All jokes aside, it's such a shame. He was a really handsome guy when he was young.

 

[True Savior]

New Sin City?

 

[Kaako]

Mannn, fuck Hollywood.
