Michael Jackson bio “Searching For Neverland” unveils set picsMarch 11, 2017 - 13:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Photos from the set of the Michael Jackson TV biopic, Searching For Neverland, have emerged, showing Jackson impersonator Navi in character as the late artist, NME reports. The made-for-TV film will be shown later this year on US network Lifetime, which has already commissioned biopics on such artists as TLC, Aaliyah and Toni Braxton. Searching For Neverland will tell Jackson’s story in his later years through the eyes of his bodyguards, with the script adapted from the book Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days. Photographs from the LA set of Searching For Neverland have surfaced today (March 10), showing Navi in costume as Jackson filming scenes for the film – including one where his bodyguards escort him through a crowd at a Las Vegas mall.
