Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch and accompanying theme park were brought back to life on Friday as work continues on a forthcoming film about the reclusive singer’s troubled life and career.

Jackson was preparing for a lucrative run of shows at London’s O2 Arena when he died at a rented Los Angeles mansion in 2009 as result of a cardiac arrest following an overdose of the surgical anaesthetic drug Propofol.

In the years since his death at the age of 50, the pop icon has remained a relevant pop culture figure – celebrated for the body of work he left behind, amid a legacy complicated by controversies, among them allegations of child abuse.

His life is now set to dramatised in new biopic Michael, with Jackson’s own nephew Jaafar – an accomplished singer and dancer in his own right – set to play his late uncle.

Neverland – the Santa Barbara Country ranch originally purchased by Jackson in 1988 – has now been reconstructed as filming continues ahead of the movie’s scheduled April 18, 2025 release.

Ariel photos reveal the fairground rides, tents and children’s trains it became known for have all been carefully rebuilt, along with a Ferris wheel and a replica of Jackson’s carousel.

Billionaire Ron Burkle purchased Jackson’s Neverland for $22 million in December 2020. Burkle was a financial adviser to Michael Jackson after meeting him at an event for under-privileged children in the mid-2000s.

He snapped up the property at nearly $80million less than the asking price.

Once home to the King of Pop, the ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, California, was inspired by J.M. Barrie’s novel ‘Peter Pan’ and featured an amusement park and zoo.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal shortly after purchasing the property, Burkle explained that he wanted to give it a facelift, repair the train station, which had been damaged by woodpeckers, fix the roads and eventually get the train line up and running again.

‘It was kind of a depressing place. It wasn’t the beautiful place that it was before. It just needed flowers and life in it again,’ he said.

The petting zoo was brought back after the purchase and animals were reintroduced, although Michael’s famous pet monkey Bubbles has lived at the Center for Great Apes sanctuary in Florida since 2005.

Burkle is said to be worth at least $2billion and is the co-founder of venture capitalists Yucapia Companies, so he wasn’t strapped for cash when it came to renovating the estate completely. The estate had been on the market on and off since 2016.

It had fallen into disrepair after police raided the ranch and charged the King of Pop with seven counts of child molestation.

Although he was sensationally acquitted, Jackson vowed never to step foot in Neverland again.

According to a real estate listing, the original ranch boasts 21 structures including multiple guesthouses and a 50-seat movie theatre. There’s also a swimming pool with a cabana, a basketball court, and a tennis court set among the grounds.

Jackson famously gave the property fantasy touches for his young fans to enjoy when they visited but he was accused by multiple alleged victims of abusing them at the ranch.

While filming continues, fans were given a taste of what to expect during a recent Lionsgate’s presentation, a year before it is expected to hit theatres.

The sneak peek did not disappoint as it began with Jackson on stage as he performed some of his greatest hits, including Man in the Mirror and Thriller.

Variety reported that it will ‘feature over 30’ of Jackson’s songs and recreated a number of them, ‘starting with Jackson 5’s classic rendition of ABC on American Bandstand.

Nia Long, who portrays the late pop star’s mother Katherine, tells her gifted child that he has a ‘a very special light’ and to ‘make that light shine onto the world.’

‘There might be some people who think you’re different, and that’s gonna make life a little harder for you,’ she warned him.

‘But you never were like anyone else.’

During the presentation, producer Graham King said he was ‘looking forward to giving to the audience a thrill like they’ve never seen before’.

‘It is a story worthy of a cinematic presentation,’ King said, before showing the trailer, per Deadline. ‘For the first time, fans and generations of moviegoers will come together to get an inside look into the most prolific artist who ever lived.’

He noted that he and the filmmakers did their best to ‘find the untold version of the story.’

‘Michael Jackson was an enigma, full of eccentricities and … talent,’ he said. ‘[He was also] simply a man who lived a very complicated life.’

King also teased it would be ‘a long feature film’ (Jackson seen in 2000)

In addition to highlighting his expansive discography, it will follow Jackson’s ‘life on stage and his life out of the public eye’.

This includes his childhood in Gary, Indiana, to not being able to leave his home without getting mobbed by fans.

Variety also claimed that the film will deal ‘with the abuse’ claims against Jackson, who faced multiple allegations of child sexual abuse.

King also teased it would be ‘a long feature film’.

At 35, inexperienced Antonio Banderas suddenly became the father of 6-year-old and 10-year-old kids. Years have passed, and he lives an entirely different life, but he is still a part of their family.

Movie star Antonio Banderas married a woman with two young children and expressed that it was nerve-wracking to marry into a wholesome family of three while being inexperienced.

Spanish actor Antonio Banderas and actress Melanie Griffith met while still married to other people. Griffith was still married to actor Don Johnson whom she wed twice, but they officially separated in 1994.

She later fell for Banderas, who happened to be her co-star at the time in the 1995 rom-com, “Two Much.” He was still technically married to his first wife, actress Ana Leza. However, the pair were going through a separation then.

A month after Banderas and Griffith finalized their divorces, they walked down the aisle again in an intimate ceremony on May 14, 1996, in London.

When asked what attracted him to the New York native, “The Legend of Zorro” star told AARP in November 2011 that he had “admired Melanie long before I met her.”

Banderas recalled the first time he saw Griffith in the 1988 movie, “Working Girl,” and was mesmerized by her beauty, “Wow, she’s so beautiful, so special,” he said. He later spotted her at the Oscar Awards on the red carpet but had forgotten her name:

“Pedro Almodovar said, ‘It’s Melanie Griffith, you idiot! She’s nominated for an Academy Award tonight!’ Six years after that, we’re married!”

When asked how they went from their working relationship to being romantically involved while starring in “Two Much,” Banderas revealed they were both “unhappy” in their marriages.

“Things don’t work out sometimes, and that’s the way it goes. But we recognized that we were unhappy. I saw her with her kids, and she was so beautiful as a mom,” said the Spain native.

Banderas explained that it is typical for co-stars to develop a connection while working together and that most of the time, after filming, everyone cuts ties, but the same cannot be said about him and Griffith.

They kept in touch frequently until they finally admitted they had feelings for each other. Something he noted “was not easy” to do. When the “Frida” star married the Golden Globe Award winner, she had two young children from her previous marriages.

Griffith had her first child, son Alexander, with actor Steven Bauer whom she wed in 1981 and divorced in 1989 following five years of marriage. She welcomed her eldest daughter Dakota with Johnson, whom she was married to between 1976-1976 and 1989-1996.

Banderas Became an ‘Inexperienced’ Stepdad to Griffith’s Kids

Asked how he tried to blend into the marriage being a stepfather to Griffin’s son and daughter, Banderas admitted that it was difficult because he had to reassure the kids that he was there to stay:

“It was hard because the kids had to accept me, and I was totally inexperienced. Suddenly, I had a 6-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy. But as soon as the kids knew I was there to stay, they were fine. They needed solid ground in which they could grow.”

Once he came to that realization, the “Spy Kids” star began “establishing my relationship, giving them security, little by little doing the father thing.”

When asked how long it took to put the children’s minds at ease, Banderas divulged “it took less than a year” for his stepchildren “to realize that I was not temporary.”

Soon, his daughter Stella was born, which became overwhelming because he was still trying to get Alexander and Dakota to warm up to him.

Banderas Had a Huge Influence on His Stepdaughter’s Career

Banderas’ hard work bonding with his stepkids yielded positive results as he became instrumental in Dakota’s acting career. The “Fifty Shades of Grey” star first had her acting stint in her stepfather’s directorial debut, “Crazy in Alabama” in 1999, alongside her mother. Dakota played Sondra in the film.

As a young child, she spent time with Banderas on set and recalled bringing pop singer Madonna an Easter basket while filming “Evita” in Budapest in 1996.

Her stepdad also cherishes such memories, and he once gushed:” She’s my daughter. I love her. I’ve been with her on my shoulders, traveling all around the world.”

Banderas also revealed Dakota’s sweet nickname for him while growing up, which is a combination of the word “daddy” in his native language and his name:

“Dakota called me Paponio, which is a mixture between papa, which is ‘daddy’ in Spanish, and Antonio. I’m her Antonio papa, so Paponio.”

Sadly, Banderas and Dakota’s mom filed for divorce in June 2014 following 18 years of marriage and released a joint statement that read:

“We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty years marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends, and the beautiful time we have spent together – Melanie & Antonio.”

The former couple had an amicable separation, and Griffith cited irreconcilable differences as the reason why she and Banderas parted ways.

Dakota Still Maintains a Loving Relationship with Her Stepfather

Many years later, her daughter presented Banderas with the Best Actor Award at the 2019 Hollywood Film Awards in a touching speech. Dakota got emotional when lovingly talking about her stepfather while calling him by her childhood nickname:

“I come from a family of many a marriage, and I got very lucky. I got a bonus dad who I realized that, over time, is actually one of the most influential people in my whole life.”

The Texas native said Banderas brightened their lives and shared his sense of “creativity and culture” with them, adding he brought “one remarkably magical little sister into our family.”

Chocking up, Dakota stated: “My stepfather! Antonio Banderas burst into our lives. He was so vibrant and fun and funny, and his English was abstract, and we found it amazing.” She said he “loved” her mom and her and her siblings so much that it changed their “lives forever.”

In his acceptance speech, Banderas dedicated the award to” two people” he loved, including Dakota, saying it was because she had always called him “Papi” and still does, which he loves. Following the event, the devoted stepdad told E! News Online that he “had no idea” that his stepchild would be honoring him with such a heart-warming speech:

“It was all a surprise. I knew that she was going to give the speech, but I had no idea whatsoever how she was going to do her speech. She didn’t tell me anything.”

The proud father said it brought back all those memories he created with his blended family and that “it was a confirmation” that the time he spent with Griffith was not only about them but “about the family. They were all worth it.”

In February 2015, Banderas was promoting his animated film “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” which was to be released the same weekend as Dakota’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie, and mentioned what a stellar actress she was.

He emphasized that there was “no competition” between him and his stepdaughter because their audiences differed for the films. “I wish Dakota the best, not only because of this movie,” but because he and the rest of the family, including Dakota’s biological father, knew she was an excellent performer.

Banderas added that Dakota would have a thriving career because she is versatile in portraying different characters. She nails comedy, which was evident in the TV series “Ben & Kate,” and drama too, which showed in the movie, he said. He noted that it was a window of “opportunity” for Dakota and that he knew she would grab it with both hands and run with it.

Sam Elliott, with his towering presence, deep, resonant voice, and iconic mustache, has become a symbol of American cinema. Born in 1944 in Southern California, Elliott was drawn to acting from a young age. However, his early aspirations were met with resistance from his father, who hoped for a more conventional career path for his son. This created a rift between them, setting the stage for a narrative of personal struggle and perseverance.

Despite the familial discord and the heartbreak of his father’s untimely death, Elliott was undeterred in his pursuit of an acting career. After completing his studies and spending some time in construction to support himself, he made the bold decision to move to Hollywood. This move marked the true beginning of his pursuit of a career in acting, where he would slowly build his reputation through various roles.

Elliott’s early career was characterized by perseverance as he took on uncredited roles and minor parts in films and television. His breakthrough came with a small but memorable role in the classic Western “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” This appearance set the stage for more significant opportunities, allowing Elliott to showcase his unique blend of rough charisma and genuine acting talent.

His role as Gar in the film “Mask” brought him critical acclaim and solidified his place in mainstream cinema. His performance in this film not only showcased his acting ability but also his capacity to bring depth and sensitivity to his characters, qualities that would become hallmarks of his career.

Off-screen, Elliott’s life has been just as eventful. He married actress Katharine Ross, and together they became one of Hollywood’s power couples. Their careers have often been intertwined, both on and off the screen, further cementing their place in the industry. Despite the fluctuations in work and fortune that are typical in Hollywood, their partnership has remained strong, providing a stable foundation in his personal life.

Today, Sam Elliott’s legacy in the film industry is that of resilience, talent, and rugged individualism. His career, spanning nearly five decades, continues to inspire new actors and filmmakers. Elliott’s journey from a young man at odds with his father’s expectations to a revered figure in cinema is a testament to the enduring appeal of dedication and authenticity in the creative arts.
