Jacko To Direct Film About Orphans

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Michael Jackson will take on his first film directing project with a big-screen adaptation of Jennings Michael Burch’s book ‘They Cage the Animals at Night’. Jackson will be helped on the project by writer-director Bryan Michael Stoller who said that the story “deals with orphans, and Michael always felt that he grew up as an orphan because, in a way, he missed out on his childhood. The boy in the book had a tough time, and Michael related a lot to that.”
