Lifetime has a TV movie in preproduction about Michael Jackson’s final days, the cable channel revealed on Friday.
Based on the book “Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days” — which is told through the eyes of the pop star’s top bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard — the working-titled “Searching for Neverland” will begin filming next month in Los Angeles.
Navi, who is credit as the world’s No. 1 Michael Jackson tribute artist, will make his acting debut as the moonwalker. Chad L. Coleman (“The Walking Dead”) will play Whitfield.
Suzanne de Passe (“The Jacksons: An American Dream”), Madison Jones and Robert Teitel will executive produce.
