Michael Jackson's Neverland sculptures are being auctioned once more,but there isn't a box this time

The statues of American pop artist Michael Jackson that were on display at Neverland Ranch are being resold, but this time the artwork is being offered separately rather than as a set, according to TMZ.

According to Noble Art Lovers, which provided information to TMZ, the private collector who purchased 28 works from the singer's iconic California house is still looking to sell the artwork and has lowered his asking price of USD 2.5 million for the entire collection.

The complete collection is instead being offered for sale separately, with the majority of the statues fetching five figures plus shipping. Children are frequently featured in bronze statues of Michael Jackson, also known as MJ; one such sculpture, titled "Kids and Tree Swing," is for sale for USD 150,000.

Another one shows children in a manner reminiscent of "Follow the Leader." Prior to that, Noble Art Lovers listed the statues for sale in April 2021 as a set for USD 2.5 million. A few affluent purchasers expressed interest, but no transaction was ultimately finalised, according to TMZ.

The Dubai-based Noble Art Lovers company hopes that the individually priced statues would make it possible for more people to possess a piece of Neverland. The Gloria Victis sculptures, which are being sold in pairs solely because Michael Jackson purchased them as a set, and the Malachite Candelabra, which is being auctioned for USD 500k, are the only exceptions, according to TMZ.

According to Variety, the tangled legacy of the guy who became known as the King of Pop will be portrayed in the biopic 'Michael'.

The film will examine every facet of his life, including "including his most iconic performances that led him to become the greatest entertainer of all time." Variety reports that the Michael Jackson estate is collaborating with the movie, which might have an impact on how 'Michael' portrays the numerous accusations of child sexual abuse that were made against Jackson both during his career and after his passing. Jackson had refuted the claims of sexually abusing children, and in 2003, a court ruled him not guilty of the charge. Jackson always maintained his innocence and passed away in 2009 at the age of 50, but the claims continue to cloud his legacy. 'Michael' will be the first major film role for Jaafar Jackson.

Variety reports that Jaafar is the second-youngest son of songwriter, producer and Jackson 5 member Jermaine Jackson, whose brother was Michael Jackson. "Jaafar embodies my son. It's so wonderful to see him carry on the Jackson legacy of entertainers and performers," the late singer's mother Katherine Jackson told Variety.

Producer Graham King claims that the team conducted a global search before deciding on the actor who would play Jackson. "I met Jaafar over two years ago and was blown away by the way he organically personifies the spirit and personality of Michael," King said. "It was something so powerful that even after conducting a worldwide search, it was clear that he is the only person to take on this role. I am beyond thrilled that he has come on board to portray his uncle and cannot wait for the world to see him on the big screen as Michael Jackson," he added.
