I think, given the estate’s other biopic-esque projects (TII, the Broadway show, the two Cirque shows), it will be as good as it could be. Even so, I can’t express how little I care about it.
Sure, it can't be perfect (although you can kind of hide the weird expressions with lighting) but I'd much rather have CGI Michael which the only downside would be slightly weird movements than get an actor; cover them with make-up and make them look like anything but MJ and be a target of ridiculousness.
...That wasn't Even CGI though. It was literally just outtakes from the first sequel. I'm sorry but this was the least likely response I thought you'd give, I thought you were gonna say the IrishMan, or maybe CGI Leia in Rogue One. Or maybe that's the one you're talking about, actually, I forget about that one. That one was a little different.
I'm not looking forward to it, but I'd rather play ball and come up with some ideas I think are good than just say I don't want it. Which I don't but, I'd rather have it than bankruptcy, so, whatevs.
As compared to what, again, a black guy with white face paint doing Michael Jackson The Experience routines? No disrespect but they can do a lot more with the limitless potential of technology than just one guy. Maybe not.
They used CGI in The Rise of Skywalker too, for the record. They pasted Carrie Fisher's face on a body double. It looks hideous.
The body double was her own daughter. I don't find that "hideous".
Carrie Fisher or anyone where the movie would not be possible with their abscence is my only exception. Maybe it would be possible without it, but it certainly would suffer.
I can’t think of a single Carrie Fisher film where her absence couldn’t be portrayed as an off-screen death (The Rise of Skywalker) or omitted entirely (Rogue One). I think there’s a conversation to be had in situations where an actor or actress dies partway through filming, but I emphatically think doing it for the sake of doing it is just uncomfortable. I don’t want to see a dead-eyed, uncanny valley, CGI Michael Jackson biopic.
I can't argue with this point. But just, I find it interesting that the Carrie Fisher rogue One cameo, that came out before she died, is more offensive than the Peter Cushing as Tarkin recreation, who's been dead for longer than most young peoples lives.
Not gonna lie, the trailer got me interested in watching it.
Not only. Austin Butler’s performance was fantastic.
that too. it made a new generation of girls fall in love with elvis LMFAO.
I can't escape the Last Jedi hatred, even here.
'Twas the best one out of the sequels in my opinion
I don't love it but I don't agree with most of the complaints
The biopic catapulted them back into the world's consciousness and gave them a new generation worth of fans, when Michael's INCREDIBLE story is told to new generations he will light up the charts, his music and videos are timeless so this is the perfect opportunity. The biopic isn't for us, we know Michael, we know his music and we know his story
