Little description of the footage
Already got me feeling emotional at those few linesYes, this just happened — to big cheers.
Producer Graham King showed up to close Lionsgate CinemaCon 2024 session in a big way with a very emotional first trailer to the movie which hits theaters on April 18, 2025. Antoine Fuqua is still directing the movie, but a first look clip was assembled.
The footage begins with scenes of screaming fans and cuts to Jackson as a little boy whose mother tells him, “There might be some people who think you’re different and that’s going to make life a little harder for you, but you never were like anyone else.”
In voiceover, a grown-up Jackson says of performing, “It transports your entire being, that’s what I want the world to feel like – magic.”
Some of the footage we saw today appears to take place during the Off the Wall era as well as that of Bad – “Man in the Mirror” is a key song heard throughout. We also see the pop singer’s nephew Jaafar Jackson as uncle Michael performing on stage. At one point, his voice over says, “When I’m not on stage, everything feels foreign to me.”
A voice over from what appears to be Katherine Jackson: “You have a very special light, so let the light shine into the world.”
Lionsgate Shows Off Emotional, Intense First Look Of Michael Jackson Biopic ‘Michael’ At CinemaCon
Michael producer Graham King showed off an emotional first trailer for Lionsgate's Michael Jackson biopic during CinemaCon.deadline.com
Oh I didn't understand it as using 30 total songs, that alone would be like 3 hours of only music.I don't watch biopics either but I'll bet a lot of songs will be on in the background of a scene. Plus some will just be fragments. No way will they be using 30 complete songs. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that. I guess they'll pick a few to highlight, they might be used in full.

But still, it's a lot!! For those of us who have his music in our genes this will feel like a joyride!!
I am so stoked!!!I'm surprised they actually cut together a teaser to show, pretty awesome reactions to it as well.
Haven't seen it.I'm anxious to see the teaser... is it available anywhere?
I'm curious to see the teaser, but don't want to see to much, no unofficial leaks either. As far as I'm concerned they should do Michael's touch for business and keeping things a secret justice and straighten security around footage as much as possible. Just as Michael used to do. Lock up the doors, nobody takes anything out of there.Haven't seen it.
Seeing lots of positive reactions but I'm guessing there will be a really tight block on anything leaking. At least, I assume so. Perhaps I'm naive, lol. I know nothing about how stuff leaks. It's all a mystery to me. But the comments I've seen - well, I've posted most of them here, lol - are red hot!
But there is this. Just found it. Not the trailer but a written review.I'm anxious to see the teaser... is it available anywhere?
If real, holy sh*t! Eerie is right!Nvm it's a fake photo
Here's a more low-key reaction for you!I don't like these enthusiastic people saying that this will be the biggest biopic of all time etc and make a billion... stop putting pressure on the film I say!!
It would be great if that was indeed the case but just enjoy the ride.
