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

They should as least put HQ Dream Away in the credits and on this upcoming album from the movie. I think everyone would be satisfied here.

No they shouldn’t.
Because we would have to buy an album with 13 songs we already own multiple times, just to have „Dream Away“.
Collect the unreleased stuff on one release, for this time. It’s been 12 years since XSCAPE…

One thing I find interesting in the wording of the Michael Jackson social media post about the soundtrack, is that it says, "if you’ve been wondering what songs are going to be featured in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic"

Does that mean no Dancing Machine, no Shake Your Body, no Rock With You and no Heartbreak Hotel in the film? In the first teaser we see what looks like MITM white shirt 89 (we assume is not in the film) and Victory Tour Mike triggering a pyrotechnic like Heartbreak Hotel, is that not in the film as well?

If Shake Your Body isn't in the film, what song does the biopic end on?

For me it sounds like "there are more songs in the Biopic, 13 of them were chosen for the album" 🤷

Maybe we hear 7 seconds of Heartbreak Hotel during a montage.
 
I'll be honest I'm probably reading way too much into, but it's just nice to try to discuss the biopic itself a bit more.

Watching the trailer and a teaser again, I still wonder if that's a rehearsal of the Beat It music video, rather than a recreation of it

Before their concert in Lucerne, Switzerland, we had the chance to meet Jackie and Marlon and, of course, ask them about the biopic.

Marlon would rename it “UNBELIEVABLE” ;-)

Wow, great interview @ueli84 :D
Marlon is so funny and he resembles his father a lot here, I think 😮 But as a MUCH nicer version 😄🤩
 
I wonder why there are presales? Here in Germany you can go to a movie theater / cinema spontaneously and buy a ticket no problem. Or maybe it has changed, I haven´t been to the cinema in ages ...

Edit : I did not realise Fuqua was too. Just for anyone that may be interested.


Dig up, film, dig up!

Do you people who scream "Zionist" about everything realize how idiotic you sound?

Zionist have been around for over 100 years and only in the last 2 years has it become a slur and solely because idiots on the Internet and tik tok are following a trend like braindead sheep.

If you hate Israel fine, but keep that shit out of MJ fan spaces. It has nothing to do with him.

What are people expecting from the promotion at this point that other films did have? Just curious for those that are annoyed with this.

Well just once I'd like to randomly see an ad without having to look it up myself with the search bar. Promo that reaches us instead of us having to deliberately look for it. They need to reach the people who don't know about the biopic, not just the die-hard fans who already know about it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the marketing seeming a bit lacking is because of the amount of money already put into making the film.

don‘t know where you live that you don‘t notice any marketing, definitely not on Earth. It‘s everywhere

If you live in Germany, you might be seeing more promotion than us because that's where the premiere will be.

I dont think this is unreasonable. I don't think I've seen any mention in the real world outside of cinema trailers and when the first rrailer was released. It made all the main news programs here in Ireland which I thought was crazy but the momentum just went off a cliff.

In the UK I’ve seen nothing so far , I expect tv promo and posters on buses etc . Maybe once the main tickets go on sale they will increase the promo.

Would be nice to see a few of the cast on The Graham Norton Show

Rather not graham norton, always found him to be anti MJ

There will be more in the movie. One of which I don't think people will be expecting. Never been broadly used, but most here have heard it...






Side note * Anyone here going to be at the Berlin Premiere?

On the release day in big cities too? Here you need to buy a ticket some time before if you want the best seats. Depends on the movie of course.

So, I have heard from an 'insider' that there is a good chance that several songs were recently cut from the film. Are you aware of this? (And if not are you at all able to find out whether this is indeed true?)

I would love to but there is no information so far about the tickets 😐.

Yeah, depends on the movie and city. Most of the time it's better to buy tickets online some days earlier. Smaller cities and/or not so popular movies, you can buy the tickets directly at the cinema, right before watching the movie.
