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

I just want to say, I love how they’ve gone out of their way to make Coleman look so much like Joe. Dude is actually terrifying. Not spot on but he’s like a mix of the real Joe and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs.

 

[Blues_Away2023]

Yeah Colman Domingo is probably a cert to be nominated for an Academy Award if his performance is good in Michael - tbh I expect it will be.

Plus the industry likes him

 

[Smooth72]

I think thats why it came out today. That's definitely it!

At least I can now skip the superbowl. Underwhelming for sure.

 

[Blues_Away2023]

Honesty if we don’t get this in the movie or something similar to really pull at the heartstrings I’ll be sad.

It was only 16 secs and not the most exciting. Hopefully we do get something slightly different and longer

It makes sense though. 16 seconds is still an absolute fortune's worth of advertisement time during the Super Bowl.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

^Yeah, it's common for those ads to be short, because it's very expensive.

FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT GET TO SEE THE SUPERBOWL DEBUT TODAY DURING THE SUPERBOWL!
In 75 days, experience the life of a legend. MICHAEL - In theaters and IMAX April 24. #MichaelMovie

No matter what MICHAEL is coming to BLOW THEIR TINY MINDS AGAIN & AGAIN!!

The Greatest KING of All Time, is RETURNING to remind them WHO'S BAD!!!!

So was the ad showed during the pre-game for those who live outside the United States?

Nothing was shown at Superbowl, just a short teaser online.

 

[Blues_Away2023]

So Rolling Stone Magazine put Bad Bunny halftime show at number 2 in their greatest Super Bowl show performance……

Michael was number 16 they really do hate him.

 

[Xscape2040]

I heard the name bad bunny first time a week ago.

Rolling Stone has no clue.

And how are you supposed to make this ranking anyway? Show quality considering the possibilites of the time? Just the performance itself? The message? Everything trough the lens of 2026?
There is no way Michael should not at least be top 5.

 

[Victorious]

I think we WILL get 2 movies and they WILL include the allegations

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Unfortunate they didn't place an ad in the superbowl. It is incredibly expensive though, I guess they just posted the trailer online instead.

 

[Xscape2040]

Hopefully. But if yes it needs to be announced as soon as possible to counteract the 'its just a whitewash' opinions/media reports (if they are only mentioned in part 2)

$10M the 30 second

They ranked Katy Perry and even JLo and Shakira ahead of of MJ.

I’ll tell you what, MJ’s might not be the greatest and looks quite tame compared to the extravagant ones these days.

It’s still up there as the original and most iconic in my opinion, especially the toaster entrance.

If MJ had lived, he could have done another halftime show with modern tech and big production. It would have been epic

If it is succesful enough to justify a second film I think they will want to announce it as soon as they can, yeah.

Never going to happen.

 

[Blues_Away2023]

What do you all think will be the intro song?

There’s so many to choose from, would love something like the Human Nature or Rock with you instrumental but I have a feeling they may use one of the early tracks like Ben or I’ll be there.

I want you back is probably the obvious as it was the first number one but that’s a bit bland and overplayed.

I doubt they would play big boy.

^^ that’s literally perfect btw

 

[t1mber]

It will happen.

 

[Galactus123]

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to spend a big part of the sequel covering them. If they cover them then they have to give them a lot of time. Especially 2005. I'm not sure If want to see that kind of movie as a fan. I'm sure most want them to focus on the music.

I think they'd use BR formula and the movie will begin with the first minute of the Superbowl show: Michael is preparing, jump, his stillness for a minute with everyone going absolutely crazy... Then right before he begins to dance there's a sudden change of the scene and we're seeing little Michael working really hard with Joe screaming at his sons.

Bad Tour Wembley is more likely instead of Super Bowl. I think the shot of him backstage in Bad outfit starts the movie.

 

[Xscape2040]

It absolutely needs to be part of the potential part 2, if its not possible in 1. Otherwise it might be nice for us as fans, but will not be taken seriously.
Best case scenario would have been to include everything in one 3.5 hour movie anyway. No casual or non fan will watch a part 2.

Who knows, maybe they just restructured it for 2 parts because they think it will earn more in total than 1 film.

I think Part 2 can be a big success if this is.

I'm very suprised they haven't made Bohemian Rhapsody 2 yet. A movie telling Freddie Mercury's final years starring Rami Malek sounds like a big money maker and Oscar winner to me.

I read two articles in German media out of interest for bad bunnies show. Both referenced how Michael Jackson's halftime show transformed the event from a gap filler to a massive cultural event with more instead of less viewers than during matchtime.
When he is not the main topic, media sometimes even happen to report true factual matters...

 

[Hot_Street]

It would be cool to have a film scene about Hot Street where Q, Rod and Michael discuss whether the song should be on the album.
In the end, the audience will agree with Michael that the song deserved it. I'm sure of it.

 

[StellaJackson]

It will happen.

There is no confirmation of a part 2. But even if they did somehow do one, then they can’t cover the allegations. Have you actually read the settlement? Do you understand what a legally binding agreement is?

2005 case is still a possibility then.
