The Life Of Michael Jackson (feature film)

I'm probably not the only one who would love to see an actual biography of Michael Jackson's entire life. Not just a documentary but an actual feature film like Shindler's List, Amadeus, Der Untergang, Walk The Line, A Beautiful Mind and Gandhi. Of course they'd have to get a professional director to work on it and stick very closely to the facts.
Possible directors that would be good for the job:

Frank Darabont
James Cameron
David Fincher
Ridley Scott
Steven Spielberg
Robert Zemeckis
Sean Penn
Christopher Nolan
Danny Boyle
Martin Brest

Not to mention they'd have to get a superb actor to fit the role of Michael Jackson. Not just a good look-alike but an actual great actor.
Anybody have any idea who could be up for the task?

Steven Spielberg and Mike unfriended eachother so I don't know if that would be right for his legacy, heard rumors that Michael had a voodoo doll of Spielberg but that was probably bs lol

And there was a movie about him: Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story (2004) but supposedly that was awful (never seen it so can't judge)

I'm sure Spike Lee has enough love for Michael to do it, considering he made a documentary about the making of Bad titled Bad 25 and is in the process of making a documentary about the making of Off The Wall.

Evan Ross could play Michael for sure, a very good actor and also I'm sure that he met MJ plenty of times being that Diana Ross is his mother so he has personal experience of what the man was really like.

I'm gonna refuse you an offer you can't make
