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

Have you heard Jaafar speak and sing? It's uncanny, and I'm talking about live interviews and performances. I don't think it's AI in that trailer.

It certainly is. It’s Michael’s exact tonality and inflection beyond what someone could mimic and as I said it doesn’t match with Jafaar’s lip movement. I just hope they don’t do that the entire film because it will be extremely distracting.

when the actual trailer gets released, do you think there will be more drama in it? I suspect we will see trauma to Michael aka him getting the belt or a mini beating from Joe and Michael suffering with all the fame , today was literally just a taste of things to come

I see quite a lot of people mentioning the nose and how big it looks on Jaafar , it’s my one big disappointment about the teaser , I don’t like how it looks at all

My reaction when you finally get a shot of "Michael" at the end was that it was supposed to be Jermaine. Nose is too big to look like Thriller-era MJ.

It’s clearly meant to be the OTW era given his wardrobe. However it’s still too damn big. Michael’s natural nose was always over exaggerated with the size being “big”. It was actually very proportionate with his face. Michael had a longer face with chiseled structure so it worked. Jaafar has a smaller rounder face so it doesn’t look right at all. The bridge is also too thick.

Am I the only one that thinks this picture looks really fake? It looks like a video game cut scene

If someone had told me that it was a screenshot from 'Michael Jackson: The Experience: Part II,' I'd believe them.

On a side note, at the risk of nitpicking, they also went way too far with the nose and eyebrows in that image.

I'm not sure I buy into the nitpicking around the nose. I knew fans would latch onto something but it's pretty good imo. It won't ever be 1000%

Weirdly Jaafar looks more like Michael in the Bad era than he does during the Off The Wall or Thriller era. He's got Mike's mannerisms down

I think it's the eyes. He looks like Jermaine in the OTW era. But then he wears glasses and all and he's 100% MJ.

Waiting for someone to make a MJ deepfake of the movie

I think the trailer looks fantastic, I'm excited for this movie now. It's about time there was some positivity in the world when it comes to Michael. It's great to see such a fantastic response across all channels...

I have one tiny complaint, forget the nose, the timeline, the story... It's THE GLOVE! It's there for a split second in the trailer but it's all wrong. Looks like it's covered in tiny crystals. They spent MILLIONS on this movie, couldn't they make a Swarovski glove? Or ask Bush to make one? There are better replicas on eBay!

So far, that's my only complaint but it really is bugging me

Wait a minute Isn't the shirt wrong? Because wasn't Michael in the bed with the piano shirt and then when he goes out in public he has on that blue shirt

Shoulders are wrong
T shirt wrong
The zippers kinda wrong
