Who will play Michael Jackson in the next movie about his life?

Settled as unknown at suspend date

Background: Of course, you all know Michael Jackson passed away a few days ago. Likely they will do a movie about his life, once they get their ducks in a row. Naturally, they will have a child actor for his early life (likely an unknown seeking a big break). The question is who will play the adult MJ? Not sure I need to say more..

The below movie will count, if it comes to fruition first -

I just put a few options out there..Good Luck.

lol, if they think they'll make money with a new one, they'll for sure redo it.

Is he really dead?

Wow, everyone's all over this..Doesn't look like my picks received much acclaim, however, except my other choice. Well, I waited my 12 hours.. I am going to pick some of my own....

Janet Jackson is a good idea.. wish I had thought of it... Still don't think it will happen, but a great idea, fingers.. any private bets?

Any other ideas?/names?

I think they should give Prince the role. Just do their camera tricks to make him taller. he already has the hair texture all they need to do is let it grow out longer and we all know Prince can sing his songs and play them. I dont think the other candidates can hit his notes or dance moves for that matter!
