Latest on MJJC

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

I’ve been listening to the man in the mirror instrumental and it’s so beautiful. I really hope we get to hear a slowed down version of it during certain emotional moments in the movie. I know it was rumoured to be used throughout the film.

I agree. Heal the world instrumental is amazing as well. I have a new love for this song after listening to the instrumental.

I find it odd that the movie is still not listed on Universal's upcoming movies page. They even have their 2027 films listed but no mention of Michael.

We now know through Brancas interview they were contemplating pulling the plug on international distribution so this is probably why no mention
 
I might become interested by the time it is releasing but yeah I think I've lost all desire to go and see this thing.

Branca interview with the Financial Times

Film sounds like a disaster the more I hear about it. Ending at the Bad Tour is not what I wanted

It really isn’t the best outcome. They have to do the sequel and announce it’s coming when the film releases. Maybe at the credits just a little tease like ‘Michael - part 1’ or something. A sequel with the latter half of his life is a must that’s for sure.

Yeah, if they don't announce a second part this all seems totally pointless to me.

just like the rumours we keep hearing , it sounds like it’s all bloody true!!!!!

Not a chance in hell there will be a second movie covering all the bad shit, this will end Bad tour!!!

They could have even ended it at the 93 superbowl. Sounds like shit aka an American Dream part 2.0.

Are we gonna get a love story between Joe and Katherine the first 30 mins too 🙈

As I’ve said, the Dangeorus tour photo is man in the mirror is now redundant.

Thats definitely what its about to be
 
I don't see anything in that article where Branca confirms the film will end with the Bad tour? Can somebody point me to the part where he says that?

"We're not out to declare Michael's innocence" is scary though... That's exactly what this film should be doing. That's all I wanted really.
 
he's actually so stupid. i hope that the journalist just manipulated his words and the essence of this interview to cast a bad light on him and the movie. truly hope that's the case.

It's a blockbuster movie, big budget and big box office expected, and it's backed by the estate. It was never going to be preachy about the accusations. It's designed to earn a lot of money so it will be a celebration of Michael the Thriller guy. That's what I wanted because too many people don't realize who Michael was outside the scandals. But yeah, I do think they need to address his innocence, but not in a preachy way. Because of the stakes I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to cut out any mention to the allegations.
 
We were initially getting a cradle to the grave (or at least 90s) story but that’s now been wiped.

It’s gonna be a vanilla greatest hits mash up of Michael during his early J5 days and the abuse by Joe and will showcase Michael at his peak during the 80’s whilst dealing with the fame/ surgeries and vitiligo.

That’s it , it will have Zero impact on his reputation as an alleged child molester. That’s what hurts me the most about this film.

Don’t get me wrong , that story told is epic and will look amazing on the big screen, but it’s not what we need.

The world already knows that Michael was a genius and the biggest and best entertainer.
 
I think they are going to tell the story of why MJ was different but how that made him so talented etc - and then leave it there so the viewer connects the dots to what happened in later years

Sounds like a terrible strategy, having to pay out of their pocket for the reshoots, its so amateur - Universal nearly pulling the plug as well. Just pathetic, its not like the film was a surprise or forced on them

LOL I Said it when I heard the rumor and everyone was bashing on me Everything in Michaels Life was real (except the Child molestation)
 
That "metoo" and "woke" reference in that manner in the article means that I have lost all remaining interest in this film, estate and John Branca can go **** himself. I do not associate with shit talk like this. This is not defending MJ - doing quite the opposite.

**** this.

This whole story sounds so fishy. I know not to 100% trust tabloid rumors, but leaving out the allegations because the estate didn't know the settlement didn't allow that? BS. But I do actually believe this happened because the estate has pulled shit like this before (the Cascio tracks, hello?He had a shady deal with the Cascios, no matter what their tracks had to be on the album). Then Universal threatens to pull the plug on distribution (which we know it did happen). Of course they were going to be hesitant on the reshoots, they're dumping a lot of money on this movie. I was going with the flow on the news about this movie, because I do know a lot of things get twisted, but something was smelling foul and Branca just ousted himself with this interview. This is all so amateurish and I'm sorry, it was expected from the estate. At some point no one will want to work with the two John's.
 
In my opinion getting a 2nd movie purely focused on Michael’s laters years and allegations is a good move. They can cover it more in depth.
