Johnny Depp Is Producing a Michael Jackson Biopic, 'As Told By His Glove'

from voluntarily wading into troubled waters: The actor has boldly chosen to produce a musical about Jackson's life... told from the perspective of the singer's signature sequined glove.For the Love of a Glove: An Unauthorized Musical Fable About the Life of Michael Jackson, As Told By His Glove

, the musical is being described as "a fresh, revisionist look at the strange forces that shaped Jackson and the scandals that bedeviled him." Before the playwright Julien Nitzberg met Depp, through working with his production company Infinitum Nihil on a different biopic, he'd been trying to bring the concept to life for a full 17 years.

The playwright's determination paid off. With Depp's backing, the production will stay true to Nitzberg's original vision, complete with life-size puppets of the Jackson 5 and others among Jackson's coterie, including Donny Osmond, Emmanuel Lewis, Bubbles the Chimp, and Corey Feldman.
