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

Not real familiar with Laura Harrier so I don't know why she would say that Suzanne de Passe 'discovered' the Jackson 5. It would be weird if the production company asked her to say this. I assume she just slightly misspoke since these type of interviews are always very rushed and superficial and don't really give the actor time to think.

Anyway, posting as FYI in the absence of anything else, lol.

Gta 6 dropped a trailer 10 months ago for a game not due until late 2025... yet this movie is 6 months away & we have nothing but a poster. The Estate makes every project unexciting by far.

Is there a poster? I've only seen fan-made ones. :unsure:

Kinda just depends on your definition of "discovered" I guess.

Not taking anything away from Suzanne's importance. It was her getting cast that really got me properly excited about this project. There weren't loads of female managers in the music industry in the 1960's / 70's. Very happy that her contribution is being recognised. But, ngl, I still don't think her management of J5 qualifies as 'discovering' them. But it's fine. As long as she makes it into the final cut I'll be pleased.

Gladys Knight? js

It's in a lot of places - people moaning we've not seen anything yet.

Fair point.

Like I said, MJ was all about letting it simmer. Calm before the storm. They will strike when the time is right.

I actually think the PR has been well judged so far. They're not allowing the online frenzy to bounce them into changing their timetable.

And rightly so. The estate have still yet to prove they can be trusted with his legacy

This is the vision of artists, not really that fogey Branca. When they just let creatives work, like Kenny Ortega and Cirque De Soleil, it's usually a decent project. We're not talking about them compiling songs with Sony execs by themselves

Does that mean the movie is all prepared and he has seen it? Or would he have seen bits or been present during some of the filming?

It could be an early cut, or his collective opinion from all his own experiences. As much as he loves his father, Prince still seems like a man of personal integrity...and I doubt he'd support the movie if the filmmakers screwed it up.
