Let’s talk about Biopics. Always controversial but always in the works it seems. You either love it or hate it as these films are adapting real life stories of celebrities that we have grown so attached to. ⭐️

‘A Complete Unknown’ starring Timothee Chalamet as a young Bob Dylan directed by James Mangold releases this December.

‘Back to Black’ featuring Marisa Abela as Amy Winehouse directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson released earlier this year and had very low and contested reviews.

‘The Apprentice’ starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump directed by Ali Abassi releases this December and remains highly anticipated in the wake of the recent election.

‘Michael’ starring Michael Jackson’s real nephew Jaafar Jackson and directed by Antoine Fuqua is being pushed later into 2025.

Rumors of the cast of the new The Beatles biopics (four of them) are circling as Barry Keoghan is set to play Ringo Starr in the eventual films.

‘Maria’ starring Angelina Jolie as opera singer Maria Callas directed by Pablo Larrain also hits select theaters today.

What are your thoughts on biopics? Do you like a biopic if it’s done respectfully and accurately or do you stay away from these remakes of stories from these iconic figures in popular culture?🎬
