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

Got to admit , for a biopic it looks pretty original and different from a bog standard biopic by numbers.

It’s still nuts though but so is Robbie Williams

Completely mental but I get it, lol. It makes sense that he feels he's just a circus animal performing tricks. I mean, I'm not sure I could be bothered to watch it. I'd rather just watch footage from Knebworth.

As long as they don't CGI Jafaar in to an ape 😂 That Robbie movie looks like it might be a good one 😁

Making a Black man into a monkey/ape would not go down very well if you know the history of early Hollywood or just the United States in general. That's why in the Black Panther movie, the name Man-Ape (from the comic books) is not used, but M'Baku instead

I was too depressed to make this point. Thank you.

I was making a comparison between the Robbie biopic and the Michael biopic. But thanks for taking my comment completely out of context.

I was tempted to do the same thing not gonna lie. There was no context until people mentioned that movie. I just figured you were mentioning something I didn't know about.

You're right and I apologise if my off the cuff remark upset anybody. Out of context my post did look a little off.

Anyway, with current CGI technology (Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks made to look younger etc. in movies) Is it possible that they'll use CGI to make Jafaar look more "MJ"? Is there a precedent for this in any other biopic/film?

There was some CGI in the Beatles film "Yesterday" with the John Lennon section at the end.

I feel like it's likely they will but tastefully, to resemble MJ in the 90s and later. Makeup can do a lot but, not as much as what the vitiligo treatments, and cosmetic surgeries did.

Are you pished mate?
 
I have no idea what this means, lol. Yesterday it was something to do with Thriller, today it's this. :unsure:

"The Michael Jackson biopic has been registered on the copyright portal.Until recently there were only two copyright registrations for the biopic, now there are 8."

"It should be noted that some of them had already been registered for some time, but did not appear on the portal."

8... for DVDs, bluray, albums, games, clothes, cups, hats, socks
 
Off-topic but I'm wondering whether, in the biopic year, Michael will feature in any way at the Met Gala 2025. :unsure:

The theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" Could be a good moment for MJ-inspired style to be front and centre. Either that or my imagination is running away with me, lol.

"Colman Domingo, who is set to co-chair the 2025 Met Gala, shared this pic via insta

MICHAEL JACKSON INSPIRED OUTFIT?? HE WON"

I hope Michael won't be mentioned at the Metgala. I don't want him associated with those hollyweird weirdos

Every part of Hollywood is weird, the film industry is rank.

I'd say there's a good chance Michael will be featured at the Met Gala 2025 in some way even if it's just Colman Domingo being interviewed about the biopic just as he was when he attended this year. Plus Michael's style has inspired Met Gala outfits before (including Riley Keough in 2017) so it easily could happen again in the biopic year.
 
I just had a thought: I would love for them to use “Lady of Summer” (MJ’s 2009 classical song) after the credit song in the biopic. David Michael Frank was the intended composer, and he has voice memos of MJ singing the track and he has written out the music. The song itself (I’m assuming in demo form) is actually copyrighted at the USCO. It would be very easy for him to complete the song as MJ would have in 2009.

I'm not understanding the concept of award nominations being announced when a film is still in post-production but ... posting as FYI. 🤷🏽‍♀️

As these are industry awards, they would have sent in an application, a show reel of work. Many industry award shows are just promotions and marketing, people pay to apply and enter, as a way of getting their product known. Its also a way for those people, whos job is done, to scout for new work. Industry people will keep an eye on the nominations and winners, as a way of recruiting people for their next project.
