VIDEO : Joseph Fiennes to Portray Michael Jackson

Joseph Fiennes will reportedly star as Michael Jackson in a one-off TV comedy set to broadcast later this year. The British star of "Shakespeare in Love" will portray the King of Pop in "Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon." Stockard Channing will play Elizabeth Taylor, while Brian Cox will portray Marlon Brando. The script is based on a possibly fictitious road trip that the three stars are rumored to have made in an attempt to leave New York after the September 11 attacks. Sky Arts, which has commissioned the drama, confirmed the casting and announced Wednesday that the show is in post-production and is due to air in 2016.
