"Michael", a biopic about Michael Jackson, is officially happening.

[AlwaysThere]

The media is now claiming that Michael Part I will end before Thriller allegedly with Bubbles in the movie, however Michael left the Jackson 5 after the Victory Tour and adopted Bubbles after the release of Thriller. They lie so ****** much even if there's some truth in these reports the entire thing is uncredible.

Part 1 would run from the mid-1960s to about 1980 or so, and then Part 2 would cram in, at bare minimum, Thriller, Bad, the 1993 case, the 2003-05 case, and This Is It? Absolutely no way in hell is that true.

This type of stuff doesn't bother me that much, tbh. It could be lies or just misinformation or just the media going with random rumours that are flying around. Calling The Jacksons the Jackson 5 is just crappy, careless 'journalism' or stupidity or whatever.

As for Bubbles, I can easily imagine him being included in the film but not in the right time frame. They are going to make quite a few little 'adjustments' with the timeline, I would think.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Are people still expecting this movie to have accurate timelines and be more of a documentary or something?

Not saying that report is true but yeah things are not going to be that accurate.

 

[Hot_Street]

Do you think there should be a scene of Michael in handcuffs from 2003?

They said they have 3 and a half hours worth of footage . I highly doubt each film will be 3 hours long.

They are shooting more footage for another 22 days, that's more than enough to get two 3 hour films

The “reshoots” portion makes me hopeful; this flies in the face of the sources saying allegations scenes were being removed/reworked. The theory I posted a few weeks ago that the reshoots were instead for a 2-film structure to separate the allegations to a second film was a coping one, but looks like it may be true

This is also very much a editorial error as Michael left the Jacksons in 1984-85 not Off the Wall. But this timeline would maybe work, one film in April and running through the Summer and another in October through December.

Not sure if it is an editorial error. Someone passed along that information. With Graham's track record (cough Bohemian Rhapsody cough), an accurate timeline ain't something to be expected lol

In my opinion, The Jacksons: An American Dream only worked because the J5/Jacksons eras are easy to condense (mainly because very little of interest happens during those years, at least comparatively). How on earth do you adequately condense Michael Jackson’s career from 1982 onward? There’s enough material from the Bad era alone to fill a full movie.

Timelines will be manipulated and it won’t be a 100% accurate presentation, such is the case with any biopic, but I would be genuinely shocked if they are actually trying to shove 1980 through 2009 into a single movie without it being an overloaded, rushed mess.

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

I hate to get into more dialogue about a movie that ain't coming anytime soon but.

It's pretty easy to condense things.

Dangerous is largely the Tour, maybe Oprah, The Superbowl, and then the allegations.

HIStory is the marriage to Lisa, the Media Circus, and then a bit of Blood on the Dance Floor, and the birth of the kids.

Invincible. Well it sadly doesn't matter much, positive or negative opinion aside. The allegations are the weightier part of it all and that would probably just parallel what was done with the Dangerous era.

Then you skip to This Is It and it's really just the announcement, touch on rehearsals, and June 25. Why cannibalize what's already there (This Is It Documentary)?

Painkiller use and insomnia would be woven throughout the entire film to ease off needing to really emphasize it.

Really a lot of this story could also be thematically covered by appropriate uses of certain songs. Just make a few cool montages, maybe utilize some flashbacks, and so much is properly conveyed.

And that's how you make a biopic.

Could it be the reason why they want to put Thriller in the second movie, just so it would be in the movie that will be released around Halloween?

Whatever movie has Thriller in it is going to do gangbusters. You wanna make 2 movies and get the casuals to actually tune in, you include Thriller. Off The Wall can carry part 1.

 

[Hot_Street]

Wasn't Michael in New York when 9/11 happened? One could interpret the attacks and the resulting cancellation of tours and promotions as the reason for Invincible's failure. There's some truth to that. One could link 9/11 with the charity single What More Can I Give to give this era a little meat on its ribs.

If the first movie is everything before Thriller, with the second being Thriller + after - I can't see the first one doing very well commercially

No offence to Mr JT - or OTW - but I'm not convinced OTW could carry Pt.1. It's super significant in Michael's adult solo career and a great album - his magnum opus according to some people. But, with a mainstream audience in mind, I'm not sure it can carry the film to blockbuster level.

That said, I could be wrong plus I have no idea where the films should be split.

FYI Michael Jackson bio-pic “Michael” is pushed to 2026 maybe 2027! So glad I got to see the footage & on-set scenes I did… it’s sooo good! Part of the delays are legal reasons (that are BEYOND frustrating) the other is run time - they admit it may be split into TWO FILMS.

no way 2027

 

[kelley]

Who else is sick of pensake media's articles about the biopic?

These 22 days of extra filming does not jibe with bullshit they've been spewing about the Chandler settlement. Lions gate is investing MORE money into this film, so how can it be in trouble like the media's been claiming?

22 more days of footage to spend a fortune on CGI noses as well

Find it a bit ironic that there's an "extended" version of Wait. Wait longer? Ala "scream louder"

 

[mjfanboy27]

I can well imagine that it is a tactic from Estate to wait with the biopic until the robson safeschuck process end is it would be wrong
