Michael star Nia Long admits reshoots were 'heartbreaking'

Nia Long has opened up about making Michael Jackson biopic Michael

Michael star Nia Long admits the reshoots that reshaped the Michael Jackson biopic were "heartbreaking".

The 55-year-old actress - who plays Jackson Family matriarch Katherine Jackson in the Michael Jackson movie alongside Jaafar Jackson as his late uncle - has opened up about the issues which plagued the Antoine Fuqua-directed film after producers realised they were unable to legally depict scenes relating to child sex abuse allegations first levelled at the late Thriller singer back in the 1990s. It led to millions of dollars being spent on reshoots as filmmakers crafted a new ending with the movie finishing with Michael Jackson at the height of his fame instead of in his later years.
