Latest on MJJC

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

people should be worried about how the media will smother the MJ movie. in april the Minecraft movie is coming out, with the bob dylan movie probably coming out at around the same time. I think they should really reconsider the date they release the film to either earlier or later, else it could get killed in the box office.

I don’t care about a Minecraft movie, I bet alot more people care more about a Michael Jackson movie than a dumb Minecraft movie. That’s just how iconic he is

im telling you, you are underestimating it. as a parent, which would you rather bring your kids to, the Michael Jackson movie or the minecraft movie?
 
Posting as FYI. No idea whether Antoine Fuqua will want to / be able to show a trailer at this San Diego Comic Con. But it's possible and, hopefully, he might at least be asked about it and say something.

One person commented:
"Important to note that it’s NOT for ‘Michael,’ specifically. He’s part of a “directors on directing” panel with Roland Emmerich.It’s VERY possible he’ll maybe talk a little bit about his experience directing the biopic though!"

Seems that the old band has been represented in the upcoming Michael Jackson Biopic.
After Darryl Phinnessee and Kevin Dorsey, it is the turn of Dorian Holley and Jennifer Batten, all on the Bad, Dangerous and HIStory tours.
Meanwhile, another photo of the biopic leaked this week showing Jaafar Jackson doing Michael Jackson’s Super Bowl 1993.

I love Minecraft and Michael Jackson but I have a preference for the latter. at 10 years old, as a child, I was in love with him so I would have preferred to see a film about Michael and be exhilarated for three hours than Minecraft even if I love the game (but I moderately enjoyed the Super Mario Bros. film while I love the franchise so it has to be done well).

I'm 18 now and I can't wait to see this movie when I'm 19.

it is possible to have 2 very different movies perform miracles at the box office. Case in point Barbie vs Oppenheimer last year.
Minecraft will probably hit the billion box office kids+parents. Michael settles with 500 million.

As a parent no way I’m ever watching a Minecraft movie. The game is hard enough to watch 😂 Michael wins that match
 
if they are gonna deal with the allegations and the other stuff then there is no possible way this is gonna be for kids, at the very least it could get a pg13 rating even though it'll probably be higher like a R rating.

I try to criticise the statement and not the person but y'all got the attention spans of goldfish. You got to remember that this movie is important and they wouldn't spend so much time on a 1 and a half our piece of crap. Even Graham King has confirmed it's gonna be a long movie so stop expecting it to be otherwise.

Also when people actually into something they'll sit through it no matter how long, If that wasn't true then an 8 hour video about the show Victorious wouldn't have 6.8 million views.

If bad but entertaining movies are your thing then I could recommend you some btw.

Exactly so. A film that explores the difficult parts of Michael's story is not going to get a U rating.

People of all ages are going to watch this film. The idea that MJ has no kid fans is absurd.

Your right a bunch of kids love Mjj, I'm always amazed by how LONG and far reaching music is,people don't get that, music can last a lifetime, which is what keeps some artists around forever like, bach,Chopin or beethoven.I grew up learning there music as a kid & other music isn't any different. Art is eternal.just Not all Art or Artists 🤣 1❤️✌🏾

Hearing that Brad Buxer is gonna be on the movie is super exciting news, means the movie will actually delve into MJ's music career in the 90's instead of skimming through it. I wonder if they'll show the creation of Stranger In Moscow since it's arguably the most popular out of all MJ/BB songs.

Doubt it tbh, I'd imagine these actors are just glorified extras.

They will want a shot for shot authentic concert performance so that's why the whole band have been cast.

Hang on, didn't Brad Buxer say that the film doesn't go past 94/95 in a tweet recently?

It was Michael Prince who said that the movie won't go past the HIStory tour but yeah true. I'm just hoping that they'll show a bit of the creation of the Dangerous/HIStory albums instead of showing the 93 allegations and then just skip to the HIStory tour without showing anything in between, that's just lazy. If they're not gonna get into MJ's career in the last decade of his life then that's the least they could do.
 
ChanceToDance said:
It could be that career-wise it won't go past the HIStory tour but they could still show some of MJ's personal life in the 2000's years. So that means no 30th anniversary concerts, no Invincible album, no TII or anything that was made between 1997-2009.

I will be dissapointed if you turn out to be right.

No Michael Prince claimed the film ends before the HIStory album/tour. He is obviously not involved an wrong. Does the tweet still stand on his account, then it even more obviously he has no insider-knowledge, otherwise he had to delete the tweet

It's contradicting for sure, but it's not far fetched to believe him when he's been involved in many Estate projects like the TII movie, the Michael and Xscape albums and potentially some other projects. He even said he has recorded with Jaafar. https://x.com/MichaelPrinceMD/status/1621235346720854016

I don't want to believe that the movie is going to end that early on but when Graham King says that the movie will cover MJ's entire life I honestly think that's just PR talk, there hasn't been a lot of evidence that shows otherwise. We haven't gotten one set leak from the 90's-2000's period and most of the actors who have been scaled are playing people who were around in MJ's life in the 70's-80's. So far it's all pointing out to what MP has said to be true.
