Smooth72 I will make sure i mark the day you said you wont go and see Michael the movie as if your a true Mj fan you will want to go. 1. For the music 2. For the dancing. 3. For the story and 4. To see how someone so close to him portrays his Uncle! I call you out now, if your true fan you wont be able to stop yourself.

Only way I’m paying money to go watch this is.
1. Jaffar not signing the songs
2. If they address the molestation claims
3. If the movie isn’t white wash and doesn’t suck.

If not it will be on streaming shortly after release and I will watch it then.

It doesn’t make you a real fan just to buy everything the Estate puts out. Let’s be real most of the releases so far have not been up to Michael Jackson standards. Judge all you want but some fans on here are delusional and down right embarrassing. Keep it real bro 😎.

Well, certain people feel strongly about certain things that you may not. For example, a lot of Tron fans did not go to see Tron: Ares the past week because of Jared Leto's involvement (over allegations that have been hanging over him for years). I agree it's silly to get worked up online over a film (people get worked up over much less on here and elsewhere), but people don't need to see so much as a clip if they decide not to go for their own reasons. I'm undecided yet. But I loathe biopics anyway.

i also feel strongly about this biopic, and if you see my old replies in this thread you'll see that for yourself. but i realize that at the end of the day it's just a movie, a project i have absolutely no control over. I think that speaking catastrophic predictions on this movie is as stupid and harmful as putting blind faith into it. everywhere on the internet i see fans being very extreme with this movie and it's tiring.
 
This is one of the most highly anticipated films of 26! Was 25! Ok apologise i should not of said true fan its just these days there is not much to be excited about in the Mj community so I wish everybody would be excited over some new mj entertainment and that's how I see it. To have his music and dancing will be enough to get me to the cinema.

Anyways, everyone knows that a "true fan" is calculated by how many Invincible songs are in their top 10 ;)

I think Taj’s latest update was either on MJCast or his YouTube channel: he said that all the Jacksons (Including Janet) are tied from releasing any of their own products until the biopic is released, according to the Estate.

This is not aimed at you in particular, but I genuinely think Taj has just been in a series of unfortunate events that have affected the documentary series’ production, with the pandemic, his father’s passing, the extended biopic production preventing release, etc. Have been following the project updates closely (mostly limited to his YouTube channel, project page, and MJCast, which might be part of the problem); he has knowledgeable people behind it and aiming for a timeless record of Michael’s story, and seems genuinely invested in creating something that his “uncle would be proud of”, as he said they both shared love of filmmaking. The skepticism of release is fair, but some fans (not anyone here afaik) take it too far.
 
Even Mariah Carey said she was blocked from releasing a MJ related song because of a big upcoming project the Estate were preparing for (logically sound to conclude this project is the biopic).

Wow, this is actually quite telling... They surely mean serious business with this movie.
On the other hand, if the movie does Michael's legacy justice, Mariah's song might as well profit from the movie's success if released in the aftermath.

He could've been clearer about that. People would understand. But his updates don't convey any of these problems.

Edit: I think it's shitty Janet can't release anything. Mariah, ok, it's a collaboration, she got other music and projects. But Janet? Janet is not releasing anything at all. For over a decade.
