I think it's the first time when they officially confirmed the reason of re-shooting. What we were thinking about as a rumor was the real reason. I'm really shocked.
'Michael' Movie Director Talks Reshoots And Controversies: Q&A
'Michael' director Antoine Fuqua talks about the challenges in making the Michael Jackson biopic, the reshoots and an upcoming sequel.deadline.com
Would love to see the Directors Cut. Ending at 1994/1995

But this part contradicts the whole claim. They said they laid the groundwork to tell the story about the allegations in part 2! But how is that possible if the settlement forbids it??
here Fuqua also implies that the allegations may be addressed in part 2.
What we realized, if you start there, some people who don’t know Michael, it’s out of context. His arc was so extreme. It was important for us to go back, and give them a journey to go on with Michael. There was also a certain amount of abuse he was always dealing with emotionally and physically in that household with his father. If you don’t do that, you won’t understand him and where the story goes. We planted the seeds: He starts talking to John Branca about the pills, ‘These pills are making me sleepy and the doctor is saying you gotta take these pills’; that’s what killed him. So, it was set up along the way that these are the things that led to wherever it’s going to go which we all know. That’s part of the tension you feel, because you know it didn’t end well, unfortunately.
DEADLINE: How long did it take John Logan to write the additional scenes?
FUQUA: I can’t remember the exact amount. We were writing while we were shooting. As we were shooting, we were discovering things. We had the structure down. Once we had that, Graham and I would go through that, then we’d sit with John. It was a lot of digging and going back at scenes we had before.
DEADLINE: You have a third of footage that can go into the potential sequel?
FUQUA: Absolutely.

Its deadline saying that, not Fuqua.
If they breach the settlement, it would still I assume take years of court room proceedings to get anywhere near shutting down the film. And by then it will be out everywhere already. If its just a cash fine, then why dont the estate just take the cash made from part 1 to pay that? At this point it would not matter, the fuckbag would not get anywhere with that even if he could try to find Jordy for a 100th time...deadline is far from pro-mj so why would the say that? They must have gotten it from somewhere. The last thing the media wants is for the allegations to be addressed in the sequel.
I invested nothing actually. And it has nothing to do with my pride and everything to do with the fact that we still haven't gotten a straightforward answer.And they could talk about the 2005 trial as thats not forbidden in any way. Some of the footage could possibly be applied to the 2005 trial as well as the 1993 case was part of it and June testified etc.
Also, you should trust the Fuquas own words over The Pucks reporter.
I know you invested a lot of pride in refusing to admit this is what happened, but I would suggest you just accept it to be true now
Btw, does it mean that the film was supposed to be 3 hours before the allegations was cut out of it? "The 3rd act" or were they going to cram in the allegations in a 2 hour movie? Of course all you want to do now is for the entire 4 hour directors cut to be leaked in HD....
Or better yet - with the blockbuster money part 1 will make - maybe the estate will decide to **** THE SETTLEMENT and take whatever penalty or trial that would come with breaching it?
Trust me when I say, Jordan will never repeat his allegations publicly. Maybe he won't ever tell the truth. But he's not going to lie about it again. There's way too many people in his life who know the truth about him. I doubt he would risk even trying to repeat those lies. The people in his life protect him because they believe he is a victim of Evan's abuse and manipulation. They feel sympathy for him. But all that would go out the window if he were to start pretending to be victim again for the cameras.It would release the Chandlers from their silence as well so they could film their own drama film about everything like with EVANstory.... Dan Greed could join up with them and record Leaving Neverland 4
U are so disgusting and like u are obsessed
estimations !!, official numbers tomorrow.
ok ...let's beat the estimations !
Graham King and Antione Fuqua admitted in their interview with Australian tv (shot during the Berlin premiere) that it was because if the clause in the allegations that they had to reshoot.
Actually this under 25-fers is an important demographic, impressionable..they get to define what's cool and set trends and there's also the dating pool and the eligible child bearing demographic..they have access to weild influence to their kids and in turn set off a generational influence thus pertuating Michael Jackson's legacy
what could they even make the overarching conflict about without it? the biopic focuses on michael versus joe and the post victory liberation of it. i feel like theyll make it something stupid, like la toyas husband jack gordon extorting him. **** it, just give us the la toya biopic
Unless they're allowed to cover the allegations, I doubt they'll do two films
if the film only goes into the early oughts and mainly focuses on dangerous and invincible, it would be really weird. theyd pretty much have to move the trial itself to the 90s
this voice recording of Evan Chandler is publicly known all over social media...could they show it as LEAKED
