There will absolutely not be a 2nd film within the next year. It hasn't even been greenlit, let alone in pre-production!

Are you sure?

“While we’re not yet ready to confirm plans for a second film, I can tell you that the creative team is hard at work making sure that we’re in a position to deliver more Michael soon after we release the first film,” Adam Fogelson, chair of the studio’s Motion Picture Group, told analysts Nov 6th during a call after releasing Lionsgate’s second-quarter financial results.

That was the 1994 settlement, which wasnt brought to the studio’s attention until they learned about the Cascio situation. Then it was a case of “what else don’t we know”?

Right the studio didn't know about the Chandler settlement despite the media throwing it in everyone's face for the last 30 years and it being available online for over 20 years. Sure....

Congrats you are a sheep who blindly believes anything the media "reports" even when its absolute nonsense.

@mods Can we please make a new thread for all the people who want to complain about the biopic and make their doomsday predictions without dragging down the rest of us who are excited?

"Soon" in movie terms does not mean wrapping and editing a big budget film within 12 months.

When was "Michael" originally supposed to be released again?

They were reassured by the estate that there were no issues with including the allegations. The studio didn’t know about the Cascio allegations either. When they found out about the latter, they wanted to know what else they weren’t being told. That’s why the film had a 12 month delay and major reshoots that removed all scenes relating to it. Unless you can show me a statement where the estate or the studio denied this.

They never confirmed it either.

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

The estate is not actually required to respond and disprove every wild claim the hostile media puts out there. Belloni and the people who started those claims should prove it, not just refer to nameless "sources"
 
Apart from all the glorious highs and genius performances, I hope this movie shows MJ's struggle with Vitiligo. I hope it shows him choosing to have surgery on his nose and why. I hope it shows the aftermath of the Pepsi burn and the consequent painkiller use and eventual addiction (and why).

Some of this movie looks great from the trailor. I particularly like the Joe Jackson "I told you what to think". That gives me hope they will show how brutal he was.

It's concerning that there's no smooth criminal, they way you make me feel, we are the world. But we still don't know what this movie covers or how far in time it actually goes.

I just hope it's real. As much as a biopic can be anyway. Show the genius, but show the flaws. Show the man. Show us Michael Jackson.

This wasn’t another ridiculous claim about Michael though. This was a damaging story about their product. They could have sued if it wasn’t accurate. If it was false, you can be sure the studio would have shot it down and simply said the delay, script rewrite and reshoots were for some other reason. We know for a fact that they shot stuff for the allegations and they won’t be using any of it. We know they can’t use any of it. It’s not difficult to see what happened here, and the reporting lined up.

Hum, but the footage could "accidentally" leak...

I was about to say that myself. I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but let's think about it for a minute: The estate now has the golden opportunity to tell their version of events, but Fuqua, Lionsgate, and co. are oblivious to the terms of the 1994 settlement. It's painfully easy to anonymously leak anything these days...but if no footage is shot, there won't ever be anything to leak. Just sayin.' 😉

We don't know that they can't use it, it's a rumor started by a famous MJ hater Belloni.
No one can sue "journalists" when they hide themselves under "one of our sources" (hello Diane Diamond).
Like a hypothesis it seems quite logical but it's not a fact and wasn't confirmed by anyone.
