Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch is being restored as the filming location for an upcoming biopic about the singer’s life.
Scenes are being shot on the 2,700 acre property, with rides and attractions like the Ferris wheel and carousel receiving colorful makeovers.
Extras were seen portraying roles associated with the ranch’s fairground operations during filming.
Jackson stopped living at Neverland in 2003 after a child molestation investigation, and it was later purchased in 2020 by a family friend.
The biopic, backed by Jackson’s estate, will feature his nephew playing Jackson and include many of his hit songs.
A first trailer was shown recently, though the film is only halfway finished and won’t be released until 2025.
