Hey just curious, will LMP be portrayed in this film at all? I saw the actress cast as Debbie but no Lisa at all? Hmmm…

With the reshoots, there is a likelihood of it being changed. This is the reason why actors are saying things like "Whenever it comes out." recently.

Colman said that in a joking tongue and cheek way, Lionsgate spoke to the media and said nothing has changed in terms of the release date, it is still coming out in October, if it was changed we would have known and had an announcement.

Ok... I didn't blindly say what I said. Take it as you'd like.

Does anybody know when the reshoots are taking place this month? Am wondering whether there's a chance for new set leaks.
 
The film is now 6 months away from now. At this point we have to be getting a trailer as soon as possible so I would expect later this month or sometime in April

I'm not saying the date will change, but if Lionsgate planned to change it, they wouldn't admit it until they were ready to announce the new date.
 
What quotes should be in the biopic? Here are some of my favourites:
“I have begun to see that even my father’s harshness was a kind of love. An imperfect love, to be sure, but love nonetheless. He pushed me because he loved me, because he wanted no man to ever look down at his offspring. Now with time, rather than bitterness I feel blessing.… My initial fury has slowly given way to forgiveness.” (Heal the Kids speech at the Oxford Union, 2001)

It was not.

It was confirmed by a "source" to TMZ. No name, no title, no proof TMZ didn't just make it up.

Never forget who tells us First that Michael died hours(!!!!!!) before some Official statements
 
If the movie still plans to be released in October this year, we should see some big clues coming out of the CinemaCon event. I imagine they will be talking about the MJ movie during this event, and will likely release new footage. April seems like a month (6 months before release) that a teaser, poster or something will be made public.

IF the movie is getting delayed, you will likely hear something around this time as well officially. So the next 30 days are going to be big. We have had a drought of no information the last while. That will end, for good or bad.

That's why I suddenly perked up when I saw that CCon ad. The Lionsgate presentation is on April 1st, six months before the release date (unless that changes). My expectations are low-key and calm but it does seem like if no new info comes out at that time that would be really weird, imo.

The new episode of the MJCast podcast details the production issues the movie has been having. Basically, Lionsgate got spooked when the Cascios threatened to accuse MJ of abuse late last year.

Lionsgate are concerned that new allegations will hurt the success of the film. This, according to the MJCast, is why many of the scenes involving the Chandler case are being reshot and the movie rewritten. This (again, according to them) is the real reaspn the movie has been delayed until October. They are also doubtful the movie will come out this year at all.

You can listen to the episode here (around the 26 minute mark):

Do they actually have any new info or are they just speculating based on previous reports?

This is based off the reports we got a couple months ago, however Lionsgate denied any further delay to the release date of the biopic. Also this episode could have been filmed around the time the reports came before there was confirmation of it still being released in October. The recent Cascio allegations have nothing to do with the already existing allegations in the movie, I highly doubt they would rewrite everything and refilm again just because of alleged posthumous allegations. Lionsgate is betting on this movie more than anything they will release it this year so to any fans worried about that don't be.

Unfortunately this isn't just speculation 'based off reports'. They have contacts who know the actual behind the scenes goings on of the film. Also, this episode was filmed very recently (not around the same time the reports came out).
