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

I think they might recreate the moment that Mike announced he was leaving The Jacksons on the Victory Tour.

The happy dance Mike did after he quit still makes me laugh

I think it'll be more dramatic in the film

"It was a LOOONG 20 years" lol

What would be the problem if the early days would be a upgraded rehash of 'The Jacksons: An American Dream'? That was a good show

This should not be a spoiler so let's just get this out there.. The movie goes beyond the Victory tour, it ends in the timeframe where most are expecting.


Now, how it ends is where would throw people off. Not storyline wise, but the teaser and trailer gives an impression of something that makes people expect something that they'll actually have to wait for. Vague I know - but I must.

re-reading this, i feel like you are hinting a cliffhanger. like we possibly see Michael entering the stage of '88 concert and that's where the movie ends? all those bad performances are actually postponed to a second movie. It would explain why the marketing so far has delberately kept musics and posters pretty much Thriller era.

It would disappoint me to have to wait again for that MITM scene so much revered so I hope I am not guessing right.

If it’s so obvious a cliffhanger and if they are really using promo material for the first movie that will only be seen in the second movie they should REALLY start driving home, that this will be a two parter.
Because otherwise they will get the wrath of the audience & media - and rightfully so..

I mean it’s one thing to have a second part, when the first movie is somewhat self contained, meaning it has somewhat of an ending (chapter closed).
But not telling the audience there will be a second part going in & then having an open end is ass.
Using promo material that isn’t in the movie would be bordering fraud.

Everything that I wanted from a Michael Jackson movie looks like it won’t be coming until a part 2.

This first film? Michael aka An American Dream 2.0

That Bad performance we keep seeing will be from the opening scene and that’s it …it will go all the way back to the start.

Part 2 will open with the BAD era and continue on from the first performance of Bad through to whatever era they go to

IMAX trailer released, don't know if there is anything new in it...

 

[dam2040]

I wonder if we will get any merch or anything. Seems like themed popcorn buckets are the 'thing' to do at the moment

I’ll have a fedora shaped popcorn bucket please!

Nobody needs such an abormination again.

Eh? Are you against a new MJ album with 10+ new tracks?! Because you think they will be fake?

Not sure about that...I think nowadays, especially younger people do ask more questions and don't just believe what the media or other people say.

Honestly, it would be like an OJ Simpson movie that ignored his trial, or a Matthew Kelly or William Roache movie that did the same. There would be something amiss.

Some are expecting way too much in terms of promo.

Seems like some people think everything MJ-related has a god-given right to win awards and break all known records, and if it doesn't, the only possibility reason is "the company didn't promote it enough".

When they release the final trailer

I just don't understand why people are obsessing over trailers. Why does it need another one? There have been loads already, isn't that enough, lol. You realise after release, nobody will remember or care about how many trailers there were, right?

im convinced some of the "fans" on this forum want the biopic to fail and they are in fact giddy and gleeful at the thought of it.

You being so passive-aggressive all the time is funny as ****.

lions gate confirmed part 2. So you insufferable people can stop saying there wont be a part 2

Until Lionsgate confirm part 2, then part 2 is not confirmed. That's literally the default position that all sensible people have to adopt. Why does that make them "insufferable"?

I wonder if the movie will be 'woke'..?

With todays identity politics there is also a danger for the truthfully aspect of MJ's story: that MJ, Joe and The Jacksons will be merely portrayed as a victims of racism and capitalism.

Yeah, that is what makes modern movies so shit.

What would be the problem if the early days would be a upgraded rehash of 'The Jacksons: An American Dream'? That was a good show

Just that it's redundant, I guess. But maybe it is important to show the origin and the transition from child to adulthood.

Good point.

None of the 15 tracks (that have authentic MJ vocals on both posthumous released albums) do represent the artistic vision Michael had for those songs.

Credit to Jaafar, you can see he's worked hard to portray his uncle and I don't think his performance will come into question at a.
He's done everyone including himself proud

This wasn't in Infinity War, but was in the trailer. Other than at the beginning with Thanos, Hulk doesn't appear in the movie at all. Banner later could not change into Hulk, he was in a Hulkbuster armor.
