\u2018Michael,\u2019<\/a> the highly anticipated and long-awaited biopic<\/a>, is officially in theaters and as expected, fans are dressed, singing and dancing in the rows. It\u2019s a full cultural experience. Prior to its release, we sat down with the cast of the film: Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Juliano Valdi and director Antoine Fuqua<\/a> who opened up about Michael Jackson\u2019s indelible mark on pop culture<\/a> and how they tapped into playing the roles of the most important people in his life.<\/p>\n

Nia Long, who portrays Catherine Jackson in the film<\/a>, embodied her reserved and soft energy and her special relationship to his mother. Catherine wasn\u2019t a woman of many words, but she expressed herself in various ways, including her love and the protection of her children. In the film, there\u2019s a scene when Catherine undergoes an awakening of sort, and she\u2019s stern with Joe (played by Colman Domingo) and she\u2019s wearing a power white suit where she draws strength. It was an intentional fashion choice by Nia and Fuqua. <\/p>\n
