"Michael" Is Getting a New Collector's Edition: Here's What's Inside the Steelbook Icon Release

"Michael" fans have another reason to celebrate before the holidays. Universal has announced the Michael Steelbook Icon Edition, a premium 4K UHD collector's release of Antoine Fuqua's billion-dollar Michael Jackson biopic, arriving November 23 - perfectly timed for Christmas shopping.

The two-disc set goes well beyond a standard home release. Inside the rigid slipcase, collectors will find the Steelbook itself, a 20-page booklet, a double-sided poster, and a set of art cards celebrating the film's visual identity.

The release also comes loaded with new bonus content for fans who want to go deeper into the making of the film. That includes "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough: The Making of MICHAEL," a full behind-the-scenes look at the production; "Home Is Where His Heart Is: Behind the Gates of Hayvenhurst," a feature exploring the Jackson family home; and "In the Mirror: Becoming Michael and Joe," time-lapse footage of the transformations behind Jaafar Jackson and Colman Domingo's performances.

Since its April 24 release, "Michael" - starring Jackson's own nephew, Jaafar, in the title role - has become one of the highest-grossing biopics ever, having surpassed $1 billion worldwide and outperforming even "The Passion of the Christ" at the North American box office, a milestone Jaafar called one of the greatest honors of his life.

For fans who already own the July 4K release, the Steelbook Icon Edition offers a genuine upgrade in presentation and extras - and another chance to bring home the story of a family whose journey, on-screen and off, has always been shaped as much by legacy and faith as by fame.

Pricing has not yet been announced.
