MICHAEL is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.

Big city mobsters and the Broadway stage collide hilariously in this side-splitting all-star comedy! John Cusack stars as David Shayne, an idealistic young writer who’ll do anything to get his first Broadway play off the ground — even if it means teaming up with the mob. Surrounded by a wacky cast of characters including a gangster’s ditzy and talentless girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly), a tipsy actress (Dianne Wiest), and a mob hit man (Chazz Palminteri), Shayne’s got to pull it all off before the curtain falls and bullets start to fly! A Q&A with Chazz Palminteri follows the film.
