Despite being “hit or miss” on the critical front, Lifetime’s biographical films – especially those dedicated to some of music’s most noted acts (Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, etc.) – are generally ratings winners. But, after hitting a sour note with viewers thanks to the ill-received Britney Spears biopic from earlier this year, the women’s network is looking to get back on track with a biopic in honor of King of Pop Michael Jackson.
Titled ‘Searching for Neverland,’ the film comes as an adaptation of the best-seller “Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days.” Said to be “told through the eyes of Jackson’s trusted bodyguards Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard,” the flick – set to premiere on Memorial Day (May 29) – will chronicle MJ’s last two years of life.

Why are they doing that to him…
Please let micheal rip
Not again… Not Flex…
Flex isn’t in this. It stars Navi, a MJ impersonator who worked with Michael.
Omg lifetime has really fallen ….I can’t believe they get away with so many unauthorized biopics ?
Lifetime is getting on my damn nerves. Watch Prince will be next smh.
The fact that it is told through the eyes of Michael’s “trusted bodyguards” says it all really
Mess. I will not.
Hope this sh** gets canceled
Looks like Lifetime is unapologetic in doing b******* biopics…
Sad to see the life of a man who sacrificed so much to entertain the world to be reduced in a s*****, low-budget biopic by lifetime…
