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

[SmoothGangsta]

As a fan I'm obviously disappointed we're not getting anything.

We don't know what their marketing strategy for this film will be though. When it starts I'd expect it to ramp up.

 

[dam2040]

What is happening in this community? Come on! This is elephant man bones, hyperbaric chamber, skin bleaching level BS! And some "fans" on here are lapping it up!

From the very first article regarding the Chandler allegations (as if the estate had no idea about the NDA) to the budget explosion due to a prosphetic nose, these articles are nothing but laughable.

I have been a Michael Jackson fan since 1986. I've learned to live with this level of media creativity. It seems that some of you are new here and I wish you all the world of luck!

Welcome to MJ 101. Your world is about to be torn a new one

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

It's nothing new!!

If there's no promotion for the Superbowl, that's a concern. That leads me to believe that the reshoots are more extensive than expected.

It'd make sense to show a teaser of the film to downplay these reports this film is in any sort of crisis

u got it...the story is true

I think there is more going on behind the scenes than is being said but they are not going to disclose most of these things. I do think this Biopic was always going to be a tough one. CGI i expect will have to play a big part with skin change color and facial changes which will also cost as they cannot expect Jafar to get plastic surgery lol. Joking aside I am a bit worried that we may not see this movie at all . I think the Estate are ( rightfully ) playing it safe but let's face it . The Biopic will be savaged by the media even if it is "excellent" . It think it will be a 3 hr movie if it does get released . I think the real problem with these delays are two things , usual frivolous lawsuits against MJ and perhaps the CGI aspect . Also there will be a lot of BS in this movie i reckon. Remember MJ was surrounded with a lot of yes men and some of them are still part of the MJ team today.

Damn this was depressing to read!! Please do not take it personally though... you're only thinking out loud.
Surely they wouldn't scrap the whole movie, would they? I mean the investment was huge!!!
And making such a movie all while being to precautious... well that is not promissing. I wish they would just make a movie with no boundaries regarding the Chandlers and then ... be as it may!!

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Don't really know why we're now taking about the movie being cancelled. Where's that come from?

The biopic will be released. Not a chance in the world this movie doesn't get out.

There was hope for a Superbowl trailer, but again, let's not panic. The movie is scheduled for October, usually movies that get Superbowl trailers are released around July (Marvel movies and such). The new Jurasssic World and Fantastic Four are all due to Summer.

The marketing for "Michael" will be huge, no doubt about it. Let's just wait for official news. Remember, nothing of these past weeks have been officially confirmed, except the reshoots (by someone "close" to the production team).

If more allegations (ie the Cascios', Leaving Nerverland 2) come out in the lead-up to the picture's release date, then I could see it being "delayed indefinitely". There's precedent for that, although maybe not for a movie this expensive.

What?

 

[kelley]

Wait wait wait hold up a sec.....you think June and Dave are the ones behind the new lawsuit.....but why?????? I mean jordy left them behind to start a new life secretly without having to deal the 1993 mess. If they are behind it I have a feeling little miss Diane demon is backing them up

No he didn't. He was with them at a family event 3 months ago.

He left EVAN behind circa 2006/2007 and has been in contact with June and her side of the family since then.

 

[Harun]

What?

There sure are a lot of doom and gloom people in here. It's almost like they want the biopic to be cancelled.

And some of the join dates are suspicious as well.

I don't remember hearing about Ischgl or Millenium concerts. I did some googling and don't know what to believe. Was Michael really planning to do them?

There was definitely rumours at least of a millennium concert, two in fact! He was supposed to perform on one side of the world before jetting to the other side of the world to perform the second... I don't remember the details. I think Marcel Avram sued Michael over the concerts.

"It was worster"

These are the people we're dealing with now. LOL give me a break

Yep. Total tailspin. It's absolutely pathetic what this site has become. Not MJ at all

 

[Victorious]

The " kkk" are a gang I guess you can say that are racist assholes that hate black people

I know what the KKK is but I was wondering if anyone here knows why MJ sang about Sneddon and the KKK and why Katherine mentioned that Sneddon's son is a former KKK member? Was there a rumour?

 

[8701girl]

No he didn't. He was with them at a family event 3 months ago.

He left EVAN behind circa 2006/2007 and has been in contact with June and her side of the family since then.

And If Ms. June is behind this, I got receipts that she also can't stay away from MJ fans, So she will have a lot of explaining to do.

She will also need to explain why her brother gave his son Michael's name in 1997, 4 years after his nephew was supposedly molested by him, I mean why would you want to hear the name Jackson every day or force your sister to have to hear that name after suffering an ordeal like that?

Very strange behavior from this family.

What do you mean her brother gave his son mj's name???? You mean like Michael Joseph??

 

[8701girl]

I honsetly don't know how Mrs Jackson would know that

If the script was already 180 pages then that means reshoots are probably adding more scenes to it. Titanic had a smaller script than Michael

That is no logical conclusion - it could very well mean scenes are to be taken away.

180 pages means over 3 hours of runtime, they reportedly made the script even bigger after that. So we are either getting a 4 hour movie or they are redoing some scenes and cutting it down to 3 - 3 1/2 hours with a longer director's cut released later with all of the deleted scenes.

 

[Blues_Away2023]

Tbf Titanic was a made up love story based on a real life tragedy.

For MJ we’re talking practically all his life , since being a child star all the way up and real events. It’s not a surprise to see the scrip so massive.

Titanic was mid honestly, just from 1997 alone there was LA Confidential, Lost Highway, Fifth Element that were all better. Never understood the massive hype

No way will this film go beyond 3 hours it’s simply far to long unless you want a numb ass.

No doubt MJ’s story deserves a mammoth runtime but they will need to make it into 2 films which we’ve been told could apparently now happen.

I did like it but agree it was overrated. It wasn’t until the iceberg hitting did it start to become interesting.

That bloody Celine Dion song didn’t help matters either just like the same way The
bodyguard did with I will always love you.

I’m sure it stopped heal the world from becoming number 1 in the charts?

This shit was 4 hours btw and made over 4 billion largely from being re-released a million times every other decade. We have precedence for long blockbusters making gangbusters at the box office, they usually had intermissions. So theoretically it could happen, but i think it would be over 3 Hours in Theaters.
