Dream Cast: Michael Jackson Biopic

Our picks to play Michael, Janet, Joe and more.

Zoe Saldana as Janet Jackson - This may require some strategic padding, but if Saldana can pull of playing a nine-foot-tall alien, she can surely channel Michael's talented younger sister. She definitely has the look, sex appeal and compassion to portray the youngest Jackson.(Photos from left: Chris Jackson/Getty Images, Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
Mariah Carey as LaToya Jackson - Carey has proven herself as a good actress with Precious. We could easily see Carey as the controversial LaToya, who always wanted to be a star, but fell short of the glory.(Photos from left: Dave J Hogan/Getty Images, Jemal Countess/Getty Images)
Oprah Winfrey as Katherine Jackson - Now that her return to acting is imminent, Winfrey could wrap herself in the compassion that makes up Mother Jackson.(Photos from left: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images, Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
Jamie Foxx as Jermaine Jackson - The Ray star could probably earn himself another Oscar nod as Jermaine. He has been the family spokesman in the hardest times and has battled the media when they have torn his family to pieces.(Photos from left: Dave J Hogan/Getty Images,  Jason Merritt/Getty Images)Ving Rhames as Joe Jackson - Like many people, Michael had a complex relationship with his father. The King of Pop revealed there was child abuse, but he would later resolve his relationship with his father.  Rhames would give a respectable performance as Joe Jackson.(Photos from left:  Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup, Adrian Sidney/PictureGroup)
