Michael Jackson Wanted To Be A Director  Michael Jackson |
Filmmaker Bryan Michael Stoller has claimed that Jackson, who died on June 25, was planning to make his directorial debut after signing up to co-direct and finance a drama about foster children.
Stoller says that Jackson had agreed to be his partner in the film company “Magic Shadows” and they were preparing to co-direct "They Cage The Animals At Night", a project they had been working on for the last seven years.
Stoller claims that the movie is based on a 1985 autobiography by author Jennings Michael Burch. Jackson wanted to highlight the plight of foster kids because he felt he could relate to their circumstances
"He was very excited about making movies and wanted his hands on everything, from working on screenplays to producing, to writing the music. However, he never showed any interest in acting," said Stoller
Jackson had once turned to acting in "The Wiz" in 1978.
