That poster looks like a recreation of number ones when they had all the different silhouettes from the different eras. Why isn't the post Quincy eras represented is beyond me.

It's because the film doesn't include them.
 
Play with the 80s aesthetic, do something cool, use an iconic silhouette or something, but not this. Ain't no way I'm convincing my friends to come see the movie with me, that poster gives off bland impersonator cringe vibes 😭
 
Delayed multiple times, nearly two films, then one film, reshoot after reshoot.. and that's the poster they come up with in that time. I just feel so impossibly let down for Michael.

I hope you're kidding me because if that's true I'm skipping past it. That sounds like the Jacksons an American dream to me. AKA the same retelling story to me. I can save my money and go to MJ the musical for that

The scale of this looks great, Jaafar moves and sounds like Mike no doubt. He looks nothing like him in that shot when he speaks to Quincy though

Anyone else get major anxiety when that random close up of Branca popped up?

Of Course the Lord of all the Estates got a frame to the f***ing teaser.
 
If the poster sucks, at least the trailer gives me some hope. First impression: it looks interesting, and I've got no issue with Jaafar's look. He resembles Mike enough, and that's fine, it's impossible to be a perfect copy anyway.

I want to enjoy it more, but part of me keeps associating it with those side projects like that Lifetime biopic, can't help but feel a bit of the cringe effect there 😭

Also, that Branca shot was so memey and completely unnecessary.

That John Branca close-up sent me, those suckers had to shoehorn that in HAHAHAAAAAA

Jaafar's impression is so spot on! Definitely didn't disappoint there, gotta be the best MJ impression I've heard and it sounds nothing forced. I can see the potential with his "Thriller" and "Bad" era looks with the glimpses we've got but "Off The Wall" looks nothing like Michael, unless they do some editing on post-production it's gonna throw me off the immersion a lot during that era of the movie.

The green screen on the DSTYGE video clip looks weird, but again, I hope it's all improved during post-production.

Nothing beyond "Bad", I guess that confirms the rumors of when the movie ends.
