Technically there's 2 other movies related to the Jackson family, but not directly about them. Janet is character in biopics about Bobby Brown & Bobby DeBarge. Jermaine & LaToya are also characters in the Bobby DeBarge movie. I've seen the Brown biopic, but not the DeBarge one other than some clips.
Whats that?
I'm not so sure about that. Where did I read this - was it Jermaine's book? The story about Marlon getting a beating and Joe made him go out back and get a piece of wood off the tree or shrub which Joe then used to thrash him? Normally I take anything Jermaine says with a pinch of salt but, I dunno, I can imagine this story being true. I've seen comments that Michael got beaten worse partly bc he was so defiant but I've also seen comments that Marlon got it worse than the others bc he wasn't so good at the dancing. Personally, I think psychological damage creates problems as much as physical harm does.
Well I don’t see why there should be direct physical violence in a biopic. There should be more subtle ways.Maybe they will happen off-screen?
Well because highly emotional dramatic scenes are what make a movie interesting. Otherwise you might as well just read his Wikipedia page. A good movie makes the audience feel what the characters are feeling, and you can achieve that a lot more effectively when you show what they went through than when you just subtly mention it. Michael talked about the pain he suffered during his childhood all the time, he talked about a fear so great he fainted or threw up at the mere sight of his father, yet people still don't understand him or why he was always crying about his lost childhood, sometimes even his own fans downplay the abuse. Some people have to see it and feel it to understand it.
That is the things they can show. young Michael being distraught, scared, sick. I don’t think we need to see the belt beatings, it is not a horror film
That's called a switch, which is a stick from a tree/bush. It was pretty common in families decades ago, at least where I'm from in the southern US. Just like in school the teachers would spank students with a wood board, called a paddle. At my middle school, the gym teachers would paddle kids (3 times) who wasn't dressed for PE and then make them walk around in the back of the school campus for the entire class period. Which was dark blue shorts & a white t-shirt (for boys) & the girls wore dark blue shorts and a sleeveless top with blue & white stripes. Some kids didn't want to wear that when it was wintertime and rather got the spanking instead. My fourth grade teacher was old and didn't use a paddle, she would hit students on the hand with a wooden spoon, which actually hurt more than the board. Some parents would spank with an electric cord or their hand, but leather belts were probably the most common thing to use.
yeah, I know all of this. Sadly, I grew up in the era of this type of punishment. It was considered normal. Not really up for delving back into the details of it, tbh.
For some people that would be enough. But there are people who still wouldn't understand why he's so distraught, scared and sick unless you showed them why. A movie that censors all the strong, sensitive moments instead of using them to create drama and very powerful scenes will get destroyed by the critics, and rightfully so. Can you imagine if the movie Titanic hadn't shown people drowning and instead just showed the survivors being sad after the ship sank? Wouldn't it lose its effect a little bit? It would still tell the whole story, but the point of a movie is to make you feel what it was like, not just to tell you.
You will be shocked when they start rolling out the drowning wave of a media and ad campaign…
I think usually they release movie trailer about half year before. Maybe it's too early yet.
The Minecraft's trailer has been already released. And the Minecraft Movie's release date is 4th of April 2025.
Unless someone is actively working on the project there's no way to know without any official confirmation statements. But I do remember some comment from the director that they are editing it (obviously since principal photography ended months ago).
Surely they're just busy with post-production? Editing can't be rushed and they have more than six months still to go. I've never in my life followed the development of a film but it doesn't seem weird to me that the trailer hasn't emerged yet.
