It's hard to believe we are literally weeks (perhaps even days) from finally getting our first look at the film. 100% either this month or next.

I think it would be a good idea for them to drop a teaser this month since it's gonna be Halloween and Thriller's streams are going to go way up as they do every October. I can't wait to finally see what the film is going to look like
 
So... what's going on? It's coming out in April is what I've heard?

Do we know what the second half will cover? I wanna see the later years and some love for his later work in the biopic.

It being split into 2 parts is “Confirmed” by media outlets :ROFLMAO:
Not by Lionsgate themselves. As of now, MICHAEL is a one-part film.
 
Looking at these deep fake videos I think Cascio are already studying a new AI product and are preparing a "brand new album with 7 full length short films made by Michael in their basement in 2007". Estate is considering to include the new songs in the biopic's soundtrack.

Soon a video will surely appear that shows Michael singing with the PVC pipe in the bathroom
 
Its been delayed for too long, I hope they stick with the current date. Only like, 6 or 7 months!

Why did it take so much effort not yo say 6-7😭💀😅
 
Im back here haha. Cant wait!! I plan not to see Wicked 2 but this changed lols. Gonna see it then. Tho they could have released a teaser this October in time for Thriller/Holloween. Then 1st trailer in November. Oh well, I guess they want a promo roll out 6mos. They should give all... Massive one if they want it blockbuster!!
 
Imagine being told back when the teaser was shown at the CinemaCon last year that we'd have to wait 19 whole months for us to see it ourselves... Better late than never I suppose but damn man lol

Well remember? Paris was tweaking about the biopic not being very accurate but she said she would leave them alone
 
I find it really funny that the loser who spammed LN articles for The Hollywood Reporter who has been nonstop bashing this movie is now claiming that the "rights issues" mean the film is going to end in the 80s, but if successful, that additional footage will be a second film.

So the "rights issues" vanish if the first one does well? Yeah right LOL

This is going to be so boring if it ends at the 80s.

It's hard to imagine the bad reviews this is going to receive having to remove such a massive portion, the start of the accusations, ending with them still hanging over him .I feel so gutted the excitement of hearing how everything was going to be covered made me think yes this is going to be great.Now I feel so deflated im sorry if I seem negative but I can't help how I feel,I kind of wish it would be scrapped especially with all of this latest robson/ safe chuck shit, it feels like the whole thing is just going to end up being another topic of debate about michael and on and on it goes

I will just drop MJvibes text about these rumors as nobody has left any link or info about actually what news is being discussed here :)

"After months of rumors, production chaos, and legal drama, it looks like “Michael” has finally wrapped editing. But according to recent reports, it’s not quite the movie director Antoine Fuqua and screenwriter John Logan originally intended to make.

Sources close to the production say that Fuqua and Logan were forced to completely rethink the film after a rights dispute involving one of the former accusers made a significant amount of already-shot footage legally unusable. The fallout from that dispute was huge: entire storylines and sequences had to be scrapped, leaving potentially only half of the original film set to release next year.

Puck’s Matt Belloni, who, it must be said, has a reputation for leaning on rumor more than verified fact, recently reported that the final version of “Michael” now concludes with Michael Jackson’s meteoric rise to superstardom in the 1980s, stopping before the turbulence, controversy, and the Neverland years that defined much of his later life.

That’s despite the fact that Fuqua reportedly shot two full weeks of footage at Neverland Ranch which, if true, would be scrapped completely.

Producer Graham King, however, isn’t throwing in the towel. He’s already laying the groundwork for a potential follow-up film that would focus on Michael Jackson’s “King of Pop” years, provided, of course, that “Michael” performs well at the box office. The plan would be to reunite the core cast, including Jaafar Jackson (Michael’s nephew, who portrays the man himself), Colman Domingo, and Miles Teller, and continue the story from where the first film leaves off.

The sequel only moves forward if “Michael” becomes a hit when it opens next April. If it doesn’t, the unused footage, reportedly hours of it, will go straight to the vault. Given that the Estate has been footing much of the bill for this production, that would mean swallowing a major financial loss.

Earlier this year, when things were looking more optimistic, Fuqua’s original cut was said to run nearly four hours long. Lionsgate had even considered splitting it into two parts, turning “Michael” into an event film in the vein of “Wicked.” Now, it seems the second half, about two hours of finished material, may never see the light of day.

Still, Lionsgate (handling domestic distribution in the US) and Universal (managing international) are pressing ahead. The first official trailer for “Michael” is expected to drop in November, attached to “Wicked: For Good.” How that trailer is received could determine whether this ambitious project rises or falls.

Again, these are still rumors, but multiple independent sources and film industry insiders have reported the same story. As Michael Jackson fans, we know that to truly understand Michael, his entire story needs to be told, especially the later years of his life. We also know that Michael continued to create incredible music, visionary short films, and experience significant life events throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Omitting those decades is simply not acceptable to us."

I mean, I'll be happy if they're gonna make another film about his later years. If the footage was removed because it couldn't be used then I assume they'd have to shoot it all again differently. So the part of the report that says they'll use that footage again doesn't make any sense to me.
 
so is the radio silence from these months is because they are not longer confident about the end project? yeah this isn't looking good so far
