Is It True That David Lynch Directed a Video for the Single 'Dangerous' in 1992?

But much much worse IMO. The only memorable part is his new dance move - Bones Walk - everything else looked boring and middling
Is "Bones Walk" the part where he walks with his arms straight on each side of his body and his head tugged into his shoulders? Because that's just an old move from Gene Kelly from An American in Paris.

Fred Astaire also does it in "The Girl Hunt" section of The Band Wagon, which MJ took a lot of inspiration from for Smooth Criminal, Dangerous and Rock My World

It's from the 90s. MJ's appearance did not significantly change from the Bad Era until Remember The Time.
 
I don't think "Dangerous" was ever legitimately planned as a single. Maybe it would have been released as one after "Gone Too Soon" if not for the scandal, only because none of the other remaining songs on the album had any hit potential, but I don't see the sense in saving it as the 11th(?) single.

At most, it was probably just up in the air and was nixed once the scandal broke.

It was going to be a single. There's exclusive remixes of the song that have basically never been released of it. Along with some that have.

You're right, it's from The Band Wagon and Fred Astaire. I got the movie and the dancer wrong!
 
He didn't significantly change from the Bad era at all until the late 90s, honestly. He just became lighter.

He made some enormous changes in hair styling. His hair in the video for Remember the Time and during his interview with Oprah, is nothing like the Bad era. It gives him a completely different look.

It was definitely planned. I think it would've been the last single.

But how far into those plans is another story, and the idea probably died off quickly by the time Gone Too Soon was released if not earlier.

Changing your hair doesn't make you completely different. If anything, it just gives you the illusion of you looking like more different than you really are.

His face itself wasn't much different from the Bad era until 1998-1999 because of the face lift or whatever.

Yes, that was what I meant. Michael used a different look, or style, for every album. In hair style, in clothing, in make up also.

'In 1991, Lynch directed a 30-second teaser trailer for Michael Jackson’s album “Dangerous.” Opening with the very Lynchian image of fluttering red curtains, it concludes with Jackson’s head in a floating bubble. Jackson expressed great interest in the topic of Lynch’s 1980 film, “The Elephant Man.”

I’m in the living room in L.A. and my phone rings and there’s Michael Jackson on the phone, telling me he wants me to do some kind of trailer for his album “Dangerous.” I said, “I don’t know if I can do it; I don’t have any ideas for it,” but as soon as I hang up and started walking toward the hall, all these ideas came up. I called back and said, “I got some ideas,” and I worked on that with John Dykstra in his studio.

We built this miniature world that was a red room with a little teeny door, and in the room were these weird modern-shaped wooden trees and a mound with silver fluid that was going to erupt in flames and then reveal Michael Jackson’s face. It was stop-action, and it took a long time to do. For me, things don’t have to be so exact, but these people working on it plotted it out to the nth degree. The trees were lacquered red or black and the people who went in to move them wore white gloves and moved them along this precisely marked-out route.

That was one part of the thing. The other part was shooting Michael’s face, and we had a camera rig for that with a circle of lights that created this fantastic look of focus with no shadows. All Michael had to do was stand in one place for a few minutes, but he was in makeup for eight or ten hours. How could someone be in makeup for ten hours? It’s someone very critical about their looks. Finally he was ready and he came out and I met him for the first time and all he wanted to do was talk about the Elephant Man. He tried to buy the bones and the cloak and all his stuff from the museum and he asked me questions about it and was a really nice guy. Then he stood there and we shot it and one minute later he was done.'


So according to Lynch Michael did try to buy the bones of the 'Elephant Man'..?
 
Yes, that was what I meant. Michael used a different look, or style, for every album. In hair style, in clothing, in make up also.
This was also confirmed by the singer's long-time publicist Bob Jones.

Bob Jones stated that Michael Jackson wanted to present a brand new look/image with each new studio album that he released.

Michael Jackson himself clearly stated in 1993 to Oprah Winfrey that he never intended to buy the bones of the 'Elephant Man', implying that this was just another tabloid, fake story.

Yes but David Lynch claims this in a fairly recent interview
