Another Offensive Film About Michael Jackson

Sky Arts has released a film titled "Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon," which is a satirical portrayal of a road trip taken by these three following the tragic events of September 11th in New York. This film is a British production.

In the film, the role of Michael Jackson is played by a white actor named Joseph Fiennes.

TJ Jackson, Michael's nephew and legal guardian of his three children, made the following statement broadcast on the Entertainment network:

"It is offensive to me and my family that Uncle Michael is portrayed in a comedy film about the September 11th tragedy. He, like everyone, was saddened and distressed by that event. After the incident, my uncle stayed for a week with a family friend in New Jersey before returning to Los Angeles. The rest of the family immediately returned to Los Angeles by bus because the airlines were grounded. There was no road trip with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando. I'll make no comment about the casting."

Prince Jackson, Michael's son, when asked whether he would watch the film, stated that "this is a scary idea for me and my family."
