Latest on MJJC

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

Maybe the second movie focuses exclusively on the allegations and the trial? That would be the best way to handle this if the first movie doesn't address the allegations at all.
 
Massive flop incoming will do absolutely nothing for Michael’s legacy other than a few extra streams on Spotify or YouTube.

child abuser, nonce etc are names that will continue to be associated with MJ unless this movie could set the record straight.

The biggest opportunity ever to tell Michael’s story as it should, warts and all and this will fail miserably to do that.
 
So...according to the article here it's going to be a nice easy biopic. We didn't have it easy though did we ...if we did then M wouldn't be 6 feet under would he. ? He would have been able to finish the Dangerous /htw/ Tour. I hope the article is honestly really just a might be maybe.
 
Obviously don't know if that report is true or not. If it is then I guess the second movie would be more about the later part of his life.

I'm still kinda scratching my head at how they're gonna rework that. Unless they are just starting from scratch for the second. With the amount of stuff already invested I very much doubt that, though.

Problem is, though, those roles were cast and filming was done for the original version. Doesn't sound like any of that stuff will make it into the final version. 🤷🏽‍♀️

This from back in May 👇

Nothing from the Chandler allegations will be in this movie. It’s all been cut, hence the filming of additional scenes.

They could shift attention to 2005 and put that in part two. Right now there's no way to know what their intentions are. It's a 'wait and see' situation, imo.

Surely that alone would be a sufficient proof that it will be a two-parter as well... Much to much content to be covered in one (regularly sized) movie.
 
They're just taking the cowards way out.

Imagine a Freddie Mercury film that tried to pretend he didn't have AIDS, or a Kurt Cobain film that tried to pretend he didn't take drugs. Everybody else leans in to the controversy - that's why those people are interesting and respected.

I'm sick of half the people trying to cancel the first part of Michael's life, and the other half trying to cancel the final part of Michael's life.

Newsflash, they literally casted the sheriff from the trial in the movie with a actor who looks just like him. They never said they won't cover the allegations, just not mention Chandler. You can work around that, also the bigger issue is the dehumanization of Michael which allows such bullshit like the allegations to exist in the first place. They are doing the right thing by celebrating Michael and humanizing his life rather than letting the allegations overshadow the runtime. All of this doom and gloom leads me to believe you guys don't truly like Michael in the first place.

OK. to address that last line @IhateTheMedia I like Michael . Alot. And along with recognising his international success and humanitarian efforts I want this movie as gritty, lowdown, and as brutally honest as it possibly can be. Michael was a generous and benevolent human who got taken advantage of. The concern is some of us went through this with him, and I think we who also felt that pain whilst going to the courthouse every day / supporting him -day in, day out for the last 30+ years would like for the whole story to be told. (If these recent reports are true of course)

There has not been anything indicating that the sheriff from the trial was casted. I'm not sure where this confusion comes in.

"Square One", as a documentary, did an incredible job of doing this: Evan Chandler recognizing and using Michael's weak point of his genuine love for children, the betrayal at every turn by the media, even part of his family at one point (LaToya*), despite the fact that Michael staunchly refused to settle and continued to defend himself up to that point; with this wall of injustice enclosing him, even the law isn't on his side: Michael is then forced to a strip search for ultimately no purpose. By the mid-point of the film where all that has built up, the film revealing the state of Michael in his '93 Neverland statement makes me feel emotional every watch.

A well-executed biopic could do something next-level. Michael's story deserves that sympathy; that's where I come from at least.

I understand the desire for the mainline of the biopic to celebrate his work. I also want the world to see that he continued to triumph despite what he went through; Michael's HIStory album covered the allegations, two years after they occurred, for a reason. Michael himself didn't want that injustice left out of his story.

Leaving the truth about the allegations unmentioned is just as ineffective as concealing the background to MJ's lightening skin. Viewers will then fill in the missing information from the content they've seen in the press. It's clear that this won't end well.
The Michael film seems to become a similar debacle to the Michael album.
I hope I'm wrong.

Confirmed: Michael Jackson Movie Will Be a Celebration of His Heyday, Not a Courtroom Drama or Downer

EXCLUSIVE

As I told you last night, the Michael Jackson movie, “Michael,” will be a celebration of the King of Pop’s life.
There won’t be any courtroom drama. No discussion of arrests, accusations, lawsuits, etc.

Michael’s death will not be included.

“Michael,” like the “MJ” musical, will tell the story of the Jacksons growing up, forming the Jackson Five, and the success of the group as kids.

Then we’ll get the story of how Michael triumphed with “Off the Wall,” “Thriller,” and “Bad.” The movie is going to end on a high note and not sully Michael’s memory.

This makes sense. The audience is not going to see a documentary. This is a musical entertainment. We’re going to find out what his childhood was like, and how the great hits were composed and performed.

That’s a relief. Michael’s fans want to be entertained. Again, we are going to love this movie, directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Michael’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, in what could be a star making role. John Logan — who has incredible credits — wrote the screenplay.

I’m told “Michael” will also have a normal run time of two to two and a half hours. The final cut hasn’t been delivered yet.

So we wait until April 24, 2026. My guess is audiences will be dancing down the aisles. 💃

I, personally, want to LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND CELEBRATE having lived on Earth the
same time and place as when God allowed his Angel Michael Jackson to come for a visit. 🌹💕

The music already exists, just listen to it. But a biopic encompasses more than just that.

I want the biopic to be a kick in the balls to all those who have his reputation on their conscience.

When it concerns Michael Jackson, I don't give a flying leap about other people's opinions.
 
Poor estate. They thought the audience was MJ fans. And they thought the biopic was a shameless chance to promote MJ's music.

They were wrong in both counts.

This is not the original take of the Estate or any of those who took part in the film making process. They originally planned to address the allegations, millions of dollars were spent specifically around the filming they did on the topic.


Regarding the comments (Not yours) making the film sound like a 'fluff' piece. While without the allegations, a huge part of Michael Jackson's life would be missing and would be a hard hit on many levels; Michaels life was complex and nothing 'fluffy' about it. There are other serious subjects that will be highlighted in the movie.

🧚‍♀️❤️‍🔥:mad:👉 This is a very big topic for us the Fans they all know we are waiting with our very breathe for anything new about Michael we never knew and the world never saw! There was NO JUSTICE so there was NO PEACE and we want it like AIR forever for HIM! So WE will get it for him!!
I do not agree with the "WHITEWASHING" it is a huge ISSUE and within the black community that they do this type of manouvering to spin it into washing out the COLOURS of accomplishments of HIS BLACK CULTURE because it is more POLITICALLY CORRECT for their consumers is a RACIST tactic they know it is too! They were doing this so much that magazines, books, articles etc. have been called out harshly and there is ZERO tolerance for this type of practices of the press in the african american culture period!👈

If they try to whitewash Michael's legacy in anyway this movie will not succeed in making anyone happy and will only acomplish a whole new backlash that will tarnish his life and endurance of lies and liars even more to their fuel! It will give them the ammo they need to create fresh attacks on him not the producers or directors on MICHAEL & HIS CHILDREN!

There is nothing to HIDE there is nothing to WHITEWASH Michael was innocent and had nothing to hide from! Why was it not ok for Michael to defend himself and win? Why is the struggle, the suffering and the personal sacrifices and devestating pain and how HE OVERCAME IT and BEAT THEM ALL not the narrative for THE GREATEST SURVIVAL STORY EVER TOLD???
This is exactly what the TRUTH should look like shouldn't it, but instead these people would chose to WHITEWASH him to the world without his approval or permission but hey it is only Michael Jackson right, like we did not SEE what they did in front of US ALL!
WE SEEN THEM do what they did to him without out one apology not one sorry Michael for it!!

He hid from the attacks and sickos and leeches that tried to profit off his embarassment of spreading lies and everyone that betrayed him and believed he would ever do what they lied and said he did and tried to put icing on a **** and call it a cake! Nope no way and HELL NAW!
We know everything he was too FAMOUS for his life to ever be private especially in both TRUMPED UP cases made UP of PURE LIES!
Who are they trying to hide Michael's life from ?? Think about it?? We know everything that matters he was INNOCENT!
So by the mere act of ths whitewashing makes it look 10000% like there IS SOMETHING TO HIDE!!

They need to show the world once and for all what THEY did to an innocent, angel that withstood the pain, the indignation, the disrespect, the abuse and the trauma he suffered when they were allowed to BREAK LAWS and not to mention the forced strip search and how what a truly strong person he had to be to have to enduring hear the most disgusting, vile, insane, and gortesque words and statements made up against him even God would have covered his ears, Michael was childlike and naive and to hear these things directed at him that he was FORCED TO DEFEND himself against was the ugliest part of a sick society that wanted it to be true so badly they broke laws to make it happen in the court of public opinions when they FAILED so perfectly in the courts was the sickest and still the truth about our society today.

Whatever they do they need to NARRATE THE TRUTH! Michael's pure resillience and patience alone to face lies and liars year after year day after day he stood TALL, PROUD, INNOCENT and DEFIANT against those that wanted to destroy his life so he would never again sing, create, and stop him from ever dancing again that is what they did they TRIED, BULLIED, THREATENED, TARGETTED, DISCRIMINATED, CRUCIFIED against him mercilessly for decades in front of his family, children, his fans around the entire world that is THE TRUTH THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS ALLLIES and they were WRONG and they need to show the world what his own country did to him, full view!
They never saved Michael's feelings from the cruelty and inhuman way they bullied him WHY should we protect THEM from Michael's TRUTH!
No freaking way are they going to PROTECT them by not addressing the FACTS about them ALL!
They are not protecting Michael again if they avoid talking about the very reasons that they tried to break his heart, his spirit and his legacy!

They must put the spotlight on them NOW and let them hide, let them look at what they did and the laws that were broken, the games they played and the happiness they felt in justified in doing it to an innocent naive Angel they tried to place in a CAGE!
They sould no longer sit in the shadows, blend into the BG or in the dark because they were ALLOWED to stay comfortable in their lives after all they had done to kill his golden heart!

IT IS TIME THEY FELT THE BURNING HOT PRESSURE AND WEIGHT OF THE SPOTLIGHT OF THE TRUTH ON THEM AND THEY SHOULD HIDE THEIR FACES & FAMILIES TOO AND THEY SHOULD FEEL WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE DAILY!
KNOWING THEY WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE UNFORGIVEN, THEY NEED TO FEEL EXPOSED FOR WHAT THEY HAPPILY DID AND THEY SHOULD KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL FOR HURTING INNOCENT SOULS ON PURPOSE AND WITH MALICIOUS INTENT TO DO IT WILLINGLY!

THEY WILL NOT PASS! THEY WILL NOT GET AWAY! THEY WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE PLEASURE OF HIDING FROM WHAT THEY DID DO!
GOD SEEN EVERYTHING & EVERYONE! WHAT EACH UGLY LYING ONE OF THEM DID TO HIM WHEN NO ONES ELSE CAN!!

😭👉Sorry for yelling please forgive me guys..😭:mad:🥺

It seems to me as if the content of the biopic is being torn apart by various interests, primarily the commercial interests of the Estate and the record company, and the personal interests of the accusers. This suspicion is supported by the fact that Mick Jagger is suddenly part of the biopic, even though he was only a peripheral figure in Michael's life, and that the accusations are no longer supposed to appear. This creates a distorted image of Michael's life that no longer bears much relation to reality.
