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

Sorry but there will not be DS or best of joy in the film (Soundtrack). Be realistic and think out of the bubble ;)

Excuse my potty mouth, but my mood is through the roof right now. I've had enough of seeing messages like these. And I'm tired of standing idly by and continue seeing them happen.

Why are you being so needlessly hateful and negative? And why are you acting as if Jaafar is some random impersonator who's only out to play this role for the money? 😐

Jaafar is literally a member of Michael's family. At least have some shred of respect for him and what he is contributing for Michael and his legacy. He is more than happy to pay tribute to his uncle in this performance, a tribute made out of love and respect. Jaafar has also known Michael personally. You never have. So who are you to even dictate how he should pay tribute to or portray his uncle??

If you're not a fan of how Jaafar looks as Michael, that's fine. If you don't like the idea of a biopic at all, that's fine. Biopics in general can be pretty divisive. Even I'm personally not a fan of most of them. But stop coming back and forth to users in this thread shitting on them and insulting them for sharing their excitement over this biopic. Stop making others feel like they're brainless or "clowns" for praising Jaafar's efforts to portray his uncle with grace. Especially in a thread SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE BIOPIC.

You are contributing nothing valuable here with your negativity. It's people like you who are the reason why most of us can never have a discussion on this forum without it turning into a bloody battlefield. You can respectfully disagree with others' opinions without being completely undiplomatic. Be fucking better.

I think we need to wait and see the film first to be able to give an honest opinion. For now none of us have seen anything, except a few small videos. The intention of the producers is good and the project is difficult, but at the point it is now there isn't much to say.

I'm afraid as a soundtrack it will be a best of album again, don't expect anything from estate
 
Michael was so special that he has 2 different greatest hits albums with practically the same content selling over 10 million so the Estate won’t hesitate putting out another one

I'm sorry but leaving out DS from the movie would be a crime in my opinion!! It should definitely be included and it should be explicitely explained it's about Thomas Sneddon and why!!

I 100% agree. I know many people may think the estate won’t do this, but I do think it will be a double disc album with remaster/re-mixing of OG songs, remixes, live versions, and unreleased songs. It is pretty much confirmed with DJ Khaled doing remixes (I do not approve of this), one of the original engineers for MJ was confirmed to have been re-mixing some of the songs for the soundtrack, live versions from one of the leaked rehearsals (Heartbreak Hotel), and unreleased songs from what Prince talked about.

Well. you've got to keep the faith haven't you ?
 
It'll likely just be hit songs, imo. Maybe we'll get some instrumental stuff in the background during the film that'll be lesser known stuff, something like that.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with this!!

With the exception of Price of Fame, given that we all know and like it.

I was just thinking... we don't know who's playing Janet, but there's another nagging question... is no one playing Prince? The singer.

How do you see Prince being inserted into the story? As one of Michael's peers / competitors in the 80's? Bc then they'd need Madonna in there as well, imo. Gotta say, I can't see any reason for either of them to be included. Not bc they weren't important in the overall story but just bc I can't see how there's enough time to explore anything involving either one. You could have a scene where a fleeting reference is made to one (or both) of them but having someone actually cast in that role ... that's the bit I'm not so sure about. 🤔

Or did you have another, specific scenario in mind? The JB thing? Prince's reaction to Michael's death?

I'm more interested to know who's going to play LMP but that's bc I can't think of anyone who's classy enough to play her.

I think it would be really interesting and iconic to have scenes like the JB stuff and the one time Prince tried to run over MJ with his purple car. And we know both were competitive as heck but they seemed to have a low key budding friendship at the same time. Since both were the two first global black super stars, who were really investing in videos, and the fact that Prince was perceived so different compared to Michael in terms of artistry and public image, I think their rivalry would be a cool storyline for when they talk about MJ's rise and fall from Thriller to History eras. Way more so than Madonna.

But at least showing the purple car scene would be iconic lol.

Both could and should be included in my opinion. Including Michael's peers, the one's that everybody around the world knows, might only add to the star value, meaning that people would be reminded that Michael hung out with the biggest of thew biggest. And as I mentioned previously, making some short cameos as Hitchcock did in his own movies takes very little time but ads to the legend. I think they should not leave them out.
 
It's the 80's, there has to be a Prince or Madonna reference, I have no doubt that there will be.

The film needs some comedy too, it can't be all serious. I'd love a little funny scene where Prince is being asked to appear on Bad but backs down after reading those opening lyrics....your butt is mine 😂, hell naw

Exactly!! I wouldn't want Michael's life to be shown in a bubble without major references from his era. I would even have Madonna sing Billie Jean to show how influential he was!

That and Reagan and Bush and Clinton should be in it as well. Briefly, but they would be in it.
