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

He wore his heart on his sleeve so yes he quite literally was, people are just so mentally tainted that they can't comprehend someone being as innocent and pure of heart as Michael Jackson
I know he was like that. But come on, he would go to Studio 54. What do you think he saw there? I mean that kind of stuff. He would give paps the middle finger, swear, but when he was serious he would not even want to say the f word. I mean that kind of stuff. It doesn't invalidate that he had the heart of a child. They got Studio 54 scenes in the movie so... lmao.

He went to studio 54 and danced in the corner lol.
 
It’s the that’s why many of us got on board that got me.

I take it as theyre not trying to force your conclusion for you. The movie isn't (nor should it be) a rebuttal to Leaving Neverland. The question "did Michael Jackson ever do anything to kids" is not actually something anyone can answer with any certainty as none of us were in the room. All the movie can do is show who Michael was, and what information is known about those situations that isn't shared elsewhere. if you step over the line and force that Michael was innocent you do the movie a disservice and you actually discredit any evidence proving that he was, as it all looks contrived. All they can do is answer some questions as to why he handled things they way he did, and dispel some of the assumptions made about why he "paid off those kids" as is so commonly sprouted. The movie should show why Michael did the things he did, and what the accusers did, and let you make your own conclusion, and for most rational and reasonable people that conclusion would be that there is not a lot to the allegations and you certainly wouldn't tar someone's named forever based on what we have here.
 
So the movies finished filming and released in April 2025, wow. Exciting stuff

What they also can (and in my opinion should) do is:
I. show some of the incredible inconsistencies (Robson's testimony)
II. include some of the inconsistent testimonies from the trial (they could very well make a caricature out of Gavin's mother)
III. show Sneddon's vendetta (portray him as the dark and creepy fanatic that he was)

I've said it before but some sort of disclaimer that anything legal is directly as per transcript would go a long way too.

If you have been a fan for decades, you know MJ's character and know that he can't harm anyone

It's true that none of us was in the room, but on the other hand, the room wasn't there either so... *cough*train station*cough*

It would be funny if the movie had Michael casually telling little James that he hasn't built a train station yet. lol

We know for a fact Michael did nothing because he literally had alibis and the timelines did not match up.
 
Old video but it was new to me. Good stuff! At approx 42s he mentions hearing different versions of demos and seeing drafts of Michael's lyrics.

"EXCLUSIVE | John Logan, the writer of the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, talks about the research and writing process for the #MichaelMovie Btw this video is from 2020. So the work on the biopic started 4+ years ago "

Less exciting to me than the John Logan interview but it's pretty meaningful. He's gotta be talking about the biopic, surely? Although one person did say this:

"Important to note that it’s NOT for ‘Michael,’ specifically. He’s part of a “directors on directing” panel with Roland Emmerich.It’s VERY possible he’ll maybe talk a little bit about his experience directing the biopic though!"

@TheCrewMoon

"Antoine Fuqua's attendance at Comic-Con is confirmed."

I do agree with you but I do think it's important to highlight certain aspects of his life where he wasn't Michael Jackson the Superstar. This is where I hope the movie will really shine.
How Michael was off the stage is what Liana Marabini's new film, “A Gift from God“, tells us. The film was released on June 13, the day on which, 19 years earlier, Michael was acquitted by all the (unjust) ) accusations. I saw the film, initially the director wanted to make a documentary, then she decided to make a film with actors. She herself is a big fan and wanted to show an almost unknown aspect of him: his relationship with the faith and his love for Jesus. The film moved me and I discovered many things about him unknown to the general public. I was struck by his loneliness, his suffering from many things: his non-existent childhood, his love for Diana Ross, the incomprehension of his contemporaries. It is a minimalist film, well made, with a beautiful soundtrack, written by the French composer Jean-Marie Benjamin, who with this film created a new musical genre: the pop symphony. The film can be viewed on VOD here: https://www.condor-pictures.com/index.php/a-gift-from-god-the-film-2/
 
Good suggestion from @andjustice4some re the John Logan interview. Having watched interviews with John (not on the biopic) this is the level of research and attention to detail I expected but it's good to get it confirmed. :)

"Every single MJ fan/advocate should listen to this. The depth of research should assure many of us that the biopic will dive DEEP into who Michael was as an artist and human being."

18m 34s - 19m 40s John Logan talking briefly about the research for 'Michael'.

Hi y'all, haven't posted in awhile, here's my opinion.

This movie has to be 4 hours long otherwise it won't be better than the other one with Flex playing him, and that has already been confirmed cuz didn't Graham King (correct me if I'm wrong) say there's gonna be 30 songs in this movie so it's definitely gonna be long.

This movie has too be good and do not underestimate the consequences of it being bad, this movie finds itself at crossroads with other important events like the trial so they can not afford to mess this up.

What do y'all think?

Here we go again, wouldn't it be better to ask the moderators' permission instead of pretending to be just an ordinary user? As if we don't know you're part of the team of that film.

The film won't be 4 hours long. I'm expecting it to be 2.5 hrs or maybe 3 hrs max. I can't see it going over 3 hours. Plus, there won't be 30 songs in the film. Not complete songs, I mean. There will be fragments of songs, stuff that will play in the background etc. Some songs might get played in full - perhaps something from a recreation of one of Michael's live shows, something like that. So, overall, it might add up to 30 songs that get used - assuming any particular song makes the final cut - but it won't be like a Michael Greatest Hits playlist or anything like that.

This movie has too be good and do not underestimate the consequences of it being bad, this movie finds itself at crossroads with other important events like the trial so they can not afford to mess this up.

They spent approx 7 years preparing for this project before they started filming. That doesn't guarantee a good product but the signs so far are quite positive.

As I guessed, the film will be filled by songs probably to compensate the lack of depth.. it will include 30 songs, even MJ's tour didn't had 30 songs..

This forecast might age very badly (I hope) as having 30 songs in the movie (=not whole songs) definitely cannot be compared to songs at a concert (= whole songs are played). Besides, with Michael's gigantic discography it would be a shame if they didn't include as many as possible, and a poor judgement as well as his songs will push the movie as well as his music onwards.
 
?????? :unsure:

"After lighting up CineEurope with a feast of tulips last year and then again the Caesars Colosseum at CinemaCon in April, Universal returned to Barcelona today with a presentation heavy on its upcoming two-part musical Wicked. The jam-packed show also highlighted its 30-strong film slate and concluded with a surprise first-look at a scene from Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, centering on the making of the iconic “Thriller” video. It positively wowed the audience.

Michael producer Graham King presented the five-minute clip which had been preceded by the same footage we saw at CinemaCon. He said the seven-years-in-the-making film had just wrapped and that director Antoine Fuqua is currently in L.A. editing."

"A clip of the recreation of "Thriller" for the Michael Jackson biopic was shown at CineEurope.The same clip screened at CinemaCon was also shown. In addition, Graham King has confirmed that the film is already in editing."

"Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. will serve as music executive producer of the Michael Jackson biopic, according to IMDb."
