In the same year, 2011, Spike Lee organised a tribute event for the King of Pop called… “Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson” and this event happened every year until 2020 which took place virtually due to COVID.

Lee never divulged why this film wasn’t going forward, though Samuel L.’s enthusiasm for the production makes it clear it wasn’t because of a reluctant cast. However, just a year later, during a live Q&A with Spike Lee where the filmmaker was asked about “Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson”, he said that the feature wasn’t happening. Bringing so many notable actors from his past work would seem to make “Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson” an important project for Spike Lee. Meanwhile, reports of an inside source claiming that not only had Moore been cast in the film, but “Do the Right Thing” cast members John Turturro and Rosie Perez were also on board. Jackson also expressed hope that Julianne Moore would join the project as his character’s wife. He said “He has written a movie about these folks who want to have a big concert in a Brooklyn park for Michael, and the new gentrified people that live in the neighbourhood are worried about the kind of element that might be coming into the neighbourhood”.Īt the time, Samuel L. Jackson back then made the headlines by revealing that Spike Lee was stewing on a new feature film project titled “Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson”. But did you know that in 2010, Spike was planning a movie about Michael Jackson?
