Does anyone know if the first rough cut of the movie has even been edited together yet? Many studios won't fashion a trailer until at least that point.

Unless someone is actively working on the project there's no way to know without any official confirmation statements. But I do remember some comment from the director that they are editing it (obviously since principal photography ended months ago).

Aside from the teaser trailer we are all waiting for I'm also wondering if we would get any word of potential reshoots if applicable

Almost every motion picture undergoes some level of reshoots, usually to improve the pacing or film a scene they weren't able to get during main unit photography. The only director I can think of who's publicly stated he refuses to do reshoots is Christopher Nolan; the guy's insanely detailed when it comes to scheduling on his movies.
 
I’m wondering if the film might get pushed back? It happens all the time with films.

Might explain why we don’t have a trailer yet?

The biggest reason any film is ever pushed back is because the filmmakers can't meet the studio's original release date. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but its also dangerous financially to keep postponing it repeatedly. When that happens, both the studio and the press start to think its not any good, and those ideas then trickle down to the public. So while a few days' or even a week's delay may not be much of a problem, once you get closer to a month and beyond you might as well shoot yourself in the foot.

Surely they're just busy with post-production? Editing can't be rushed and they have more than six months still to go. I've never in my life followed the development of a film but it doesn't seem weird to me that the trailer hasn't emerged yet.
 
final edit for the biopic 3 months!!,so the end of this month it's done!!!,trailer mid-december approximatively 4 months before

I hope the biopic doesn't dwell on Joe too long and instead focuses on the abuse Michael endured from the media and the corrupt police and DAs who persecuted him. Time for them to be exposed too.

We still don't know the full details of what exactly the film will cover, only that it will span most of his life from the Jackson Five days until his death. But that's a period of almost 45 years, with tons of ups and downs...so I'm sure the trailer will answer some questions (and likely raise a lot more).

I don't understand this message. They? When? Where?
What does "them" not using Michael's face have to do with "them" not using Jafaar's face?

The Estate never uses MJ face for any projects it always a silhouette or toes. I doubt they would put Jafaars face on anything. They will most likely use a silhouette is my guess so they can put it on merchandise. I wouldn’t buy anything with Jafaars face on it would you? I’m a Michael Jackson fan not Jafaar Jackson.

I definitely wouldn't no. A silhuette sounds reasonable, I guess, maybe from SC. His feet too.

It’s also not true, Michael, Xscape, Bad25 live dvd, the scream compilation album, cirque de soleil album and merchandise, all of them had his face. The only thing i can think of that doesn’t is the vision album and the pepsi cans

I think that would be somewhat disrespectful to Jafaar, since he's obviously working like crazy to honor both his uncle and the rest of his family. Obviously, the events in MJ's real life will be the main focus, but you don't see other actors' faces ignored on their posters and such. Without the haircut and mustache, Rami Malek only bears a partial resemblance to Freddie Mercury, but all the material for Bohemian Rhapsody featured his face anyway. And since Michael is partly being made by the same people, I would expect a similar choice when it comes to promotion.

You are right on this one. Although it’s kinda chopped up. I just feel they has pretty much avoided using his straight up picture. They did something with his face in the MJ dance game gave him no nose or something
 
I’m talking about the vision boxset, it was a typo. Also Visionary was released before his passing. Vision after. They have used his face on most projects and products so them not using his face is not true. But for marketing materials for the movie they will use the face of the actor for sure.
