Sounds like this film is going to now be everything it shouldn't be. Ending too early, and a total fluff piece. No one wants that.

And as the icing on the cake, there's still a song missing from the legendary Cascio sessions.
 
At the end of the day people want to hear & see the music. Part one should address the highs along with some of Michael’s darker moments (drug use etc). The allegations/post 2000’s can be left for part two in my opinion.

The audience will surely learn how Michael became a legend. The film will succeed in doing so.
Part 2 could then be called “Price of Fame”.
 
Another opportunity for the estate to cash-in on “celebrating the magic” and “dancing in the isles”!
Just tell the man’s god damn story and what was done to him! Sick to death of the corruption and vested interests in an endless stream of bloodsuckers!

I hope I’m wrong! I REALLY hope I’m wrong! Because if this is a whitewashing fluff piece instructing us to “celebrate the man and the music” with no real context to the way he was tortured, then I don’t want to know. This is an opportunity for redemption and for the world to see the blatant miscarriage of justice and the crimes committed against this man.

For those of us who’ve lived through it with MJ in real-time, you know what I mean.

The film at this current time is a mistake. Should have waited until all court proceedings were completed. Absolutely no reason for the movie other than the Estate cashing in. If it ends up being a fluff movie then I will pass.

I disagree. Look at the Cascios starting their BS. It will never end until the first allegations are thoroughly debunked in the public's mind. The new copycats are only doing what they're doing because they saw the chandlers got away with it with no consequences.

I still have hope that these stories are not true and the Estate and Graham did not give up on exposing the truth.

Maybe they are trying to throw the media off so they won't launch an attack on the movie before it comes out.

I can only hope
 
They can circumvent this. Masquerade real names.. all of it. Arviso's is alreadypublic record.
I hope Roger Freidman is wrong on this one.
This is a major platform...not addressing the allegations is squandering opportunities to rehabilitate his image tarnished by the court of public opinion , poisoned by the media.
And here is me getting hopes high up to release this even before the Robson and Safechuck court dates
 
Friedman is AUTOMATICALLY to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

Furthermore it's not to be forgotten, that Friedman was or still could be in with the CHASHIOS..
He promoted the cashio trax like his life depended on it.

So why do we put ANY stock in his scribbling?

Deadline says it'll be two movies.
Campea (The John Campea Show) says it will be two movies. Though I don't believe for one second his take that the first movie will end in 1979.

Yeah, he is not a reliable source, at all.
 
No official press release. Not from the estate. Not from the studio producing the movie.

And that's the sad part. They told exhibitors at cinemacon in LV that there will be an announcement/update in the "coming weeks".
Nvmnd that cinemacon was at the end of march...
 
LOL Roger Friedman, who i met multiple times at the Cannes Film Festival is full of shit. This is the guy who came out saying that the Cascio trakcs were real well before ‘Michael’ (the album) was released. If any of you think that Roger has any contacts inside the estate, Lionsgate or from Fuqua, ya’ll tripping. This is a guy who has about a 30% success rate on the rumors he spreads. Anyone who remembers him from 2000-2009 knows this. Relax. Friedman is a loser
 
So it turns out the biopic isn't actually going to be a biopic.

Nobody is going to take it seriously, and all it's going to do is harm his reputation.

Especially after Branca was talking about how it wouldn't be a fluff piece etc.

Did anyone see this posted online about the Michael Jackson Biopic with the new release date?
[This could be a FANMADE and not from Lionsgate Films because as @MJJuniorSinceMW stated we can see
there is no official press release. Not from the estate. Not from the studio producing the movie.]

Don't kid yourself there will be a Part 2. That's just something they're telling you to save face. It's very obvious that "Part 2" with be "delayed" and eventually it will be silently cancelled.

Think about it - they're treating this as a follow-up to Moonwalker. It's not in the interests of the PR department to talk about anything negative. This is just going to be 2 boring hours of people telling you how amazing Michael's voice was, and how clever and how kind he was, and how we should be impressed that he won so many awards. Yawn.
 
If Part one is successful then you can bet part two will happen and be released in 2027. Graham King is pushing for part 2 but it will all depend on how well the first film does.
 
A few things about the biopic:

-Don't take any media report to heart, especially Friedman who is a hack and is wrong more times than he is right.

-We have reports of one movie, two movies, no allegations, shifting to the 2005 allegations, etc. All contradictory.

-It will likely NOT be a fluff piece. They will for sure get into drug addictions, loneliness, abuse from Joe, changing appearance, etc

-The reality is that we simply don't know what this movie is going to include or not include so no need to get all wound up.

-What we saw last week was just a report from Deadline clearly leaked by Lionsgate, something more official is coming including a synopsis/poster for the movie.

Bottom line is if they do not address child sexual abuse allegations it is fluff period.
 
Where is official confirmation that the Friedmann article is a hoax?
