We've already seen Jaafar as Michael during the Dangerous era in the only official picture.

and what about the 30th anniversary show? It ain't not groundbreaking moment in MJ's career , it's not a Motown25 or a Superbowl moment as an example.

There would be no reason to include it.

But still it is about his whole life that why I was like huh it wouldn't make no sense for not showing history and invincible era 🫤

Michael Prince claims the film ends before the HIStory album/tour.

Considering he is probably involved in the music like he was for This Is It, I would consider him to be a very reliable source.

Hm. Maybe it's just gonna stop to be real focused right before the settlement (early 1994) and maybe there's a quick forward scene about his children and Invincible and the trial and This Is It. And then end. But it does sound like they aren't focusing on the noughties.

Like Janet's documentary. She was talking about Michael up until the 1993 raid. Then she time forwarded to 2008.

I love it. I've been there 5 times! (I live 3 hours form it so it's a day trip there) @Billie Jean 78 you going to Forest Lawn on the 25th this year? If you haven't been there it's AMAZING I recommend being there from 9am - 3pm (basically all day but I like getting there 8:30am to set up my poster and flowers and to see Mike when there's like one or two people there so not a crowd at all))

Maybe they want to make a sequel if the movie does well.

That would be the only excuse in my opinion for leaving out the latter part of his life.
Plus... Michael would again make history... being the only one to have a biopic with a sequel!! Would they really go for it though?

P.S. Imagine the face of that Reed waste!!

Please non, I know people clamor for his voice but it will never make sense to me. The one that pisses me off the most is the people that say “He sounds just like Michael.” No… he doesn’t. At all. His voice is weak, shrill, forced and clearly a piss poor imitation with a goaty vibrato that even Malachi would laugh at.

the important thing is, that his fame will help Price of Fame in the charts
who's cares about The Weeknd singing in the background

Who wrote this? Blue Gangsta? It's an awesome song, but how would they build it into the movie when there wasn't even a video for it and Michael never performer it? Could they have an extra plan with the song, as in a single/video?

I'm not sure if it's real anymore, I don't see her being credited in the movie. And now that Michael Prince is saying that the movie won't go beyond the HIStory album it makes me doubt that claim.

I think Bohemian Rhapsody sequel is being planned.

Michael Prince is great, obviously - but he's wrong here. Paris has been cast. Why would Paris be in the film if it ends before HIStory?

Its possible that after Dangrous era there are few short scenes set during This Is It and the movie ends. Maybe they show him rehearsing.

I dare to disagree! The MSG shows had many of the young generation superstars performing his songs to show respect for him. If included it might connect well to the young generations of today.

We all know Michael was in the business for decades, other artists have always paid tribute to him in one way or another, it's not important looking at the bigger picture.

There doesn't need to be a Beyonce cameo from the MSG show to connect to a younger audience, Michael's songs are already timeless and well received from many different generations.

The likes of selling out Wembley 7 times on the same tour is an iconic moment, the MSG shows are not, the only memorable thing is that it happened just before 9/11

Michael was also not at his best performance wise or appearance, there's no need to include it. That 2001 period is irrelevant.

If I'm honest I wouldn't be surprised and it probably makes sense.

My biggest concern since Jaafar's casting has been, how is he going to portray a 50 year old version of his uncle? He's nearly 25 years younger and God knows how much make up/special effects they'd need, would it look ridiculous?

I suppose we'll see when the first trailer comes out. Most of what we've seen has been pre 1985 though

9/11 happened just after the second show so I think they should include it. They could show Michael hearing about it and what he did that day.
 
MJ's life serious event started from 1984.. Pepsi, Beatles Catalogue, DiLeo departure, Sony deal, 1993 Allegations, Liza Marie, Children birth, 1999 accident, 2001 failed promo for Invincible..2003 allegations, .... what I mean by serious event is that there's a lot to write as a story for this events.. I doubt they will give this events the importance it need

But why? What would be the point?

In terms of the plot, what value does that add to the movie? It doesn't make sense.

The abuse he received from his father as a child, the constant rehearsals and not having a normal childhood, fame as a child, growing up through Motown and then solo success, Thriller, Motown, moonwalk etc , pepsi burn, 93 allegations- these are all important moments in his life.

The 30th anniversary concert is not. This is a movie, there will be a story to be told, not a Wikipedia filled biography detailing every single event.

We know, but do the young ones know? The ones who will go to the cinema to accompany their parents or even their grandparents? They may have heard stories, but it wouldn't harm to get visually reminded.
