He should play himself.I believe the most important question we must ask ourselves is, who’s going to play Waldo?

I have no time for people who make "jokes" about smacking women.

I'm really looking forward to this new biopic. The fact that its being made by the "Bohemian Rhapsody" people, and that Jafaar is playing his own uncle is very encouraging.

The biopic has it's own insta so we can get the latest info from there (I'm sure many already know but just in case someone doesn't know

Gotta be Thriller theatre exterior shots right? The original Palace one is no doubt too run down for them to shoot there.

I was thinking the exact same thing. In fact, I didn't post this tweet bc I was flip flopping back and forth over whether my thoughts were just too predictable. But it's a pretty good lookalike, I would say.

I just watched the Antoine Fuqua movie, Olympus has Fallen and now I want a movie where Michael is defending Neverland from the police ending with him in a gun fight with Sneddon!

"So far we know that they have already filmed some Victory Tour performances and obviously they have already recorded "Man in The Mirror" on the Dangerous Tour.
It is said that they also filmed "Billie Jean" at Motown 25."
"It is said ..." ???? Hm.

Yeah in an interview with Colman Domingo on ET, they apparently recorded the moonwalk which implies Motown 25@francisco_bltrn

Joke aside, I really am curious on the reason why Antoine Fuqua. He's usually an action movie director. Maybe it's for a reason or maybe it's for none. Either way, it will be cool to watch him tackle something more dramatic.

He used to be a music video director.

The most beautiful girl in the world by Prince and Gangsta's paradise by Coolio are two hit songs where the music video was directed by Fuqua.
Hopefully his experience in music videos will make him the perfect man to reenact some of MJ's biggest short films within the movie.

Really??? I didn't even know Fuqua made music videos! That's pretty incredible. That definitely adds some merit to him recreating some of MJ's short films with Jaafar (if there'll be any scenes like that).

If you told MJ fans in 1984 that a Prince music video director would be making a movie about him one day, what would they say.

It's not an unusual career trajectory. Obviously, lots of film directors go to film school but there's been a few who start off as photographers, graduate to music videos and / or tv adverts and then move on to documentaries or films.
I've been watching some interviews with him. He's an interesting guy. He's only 7 years younger than Michael. If they had ever met I think they would have had some really interesting conversations.
Johan Renck is another one.

Maybe Antoine Fuqua was chosen because he started out as video clip director and maybe because he is the nephew of Harvey Fuqua who was a famous Motown songwriter. He wrote and produced 25 miles for Edwin Starr, a song later recorded by Michael Jackson.
Maybe this means 25 miles will be in the biopic as a tribute to his uncle.
