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

Who remembers that first image of Jaafar as Michael? Looked liked he was doing MITM in the white shirt.

They must have altered that to make him look more like MJ because what we’ve seen in the video footage he doesn’t look quite as good .
 
This looks AMAZING. I think MJ is so so difficult to play, and by the looks of it Jaafar has captured it perfectly. So easy for it to fall into cheesy, or parody territory.

I think fans moaning the socks have 100 crystals instead of 150 or moaning the Bad Tour stage was 30cm bigger need to keep expectations in check. It's a dramatisation of MJs story, and it looks pretty damn good to me.
 
Website pretty heavily implies this movie will cover the start of his career. So probably will not go beyond the late 80s. Also the "His Story Begins" slogan implies this as well.
Everything we've seen is very explicitly 1980s content as well for the most part. There's no way that YouTube description of the deleted trailer was correct.
 
That version of "Billie Jean" played in the teaser really slaps. Hearing MJ's music blast in the theater speakers is gonna be so cool, regardless of what the critic ends up saying about the movie it'll be the number one reason for me to go see it lol
