This is casting news we certainly weren't expecting to hear.

British actor Joseph Fiennes will portray Michael Jackson in an upcoming film based on an alleged road trip following the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, the Guardian reports.

The drama is based on a 2011 story in Vanity Fair, which revealed details of the expedition after all air travel to and from New York was grounded as a result of 9/11.

Well this will set off a fuse for sure.

He's obviously not playing a child Jackson though is he.
MJ was 'black', but the fact is - he looked WHITE.
Joseph Fiennes would literally have to wear light make-up to reach MJ skintone.
