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

Things I wish for the rest of the decade:

2026 - Biopic, Soundtrack/Album -> Single release, Invincible MoFi[, please release Victory Tour it would sell like crazy after the biopic]
2027 - Bad MoFi, Bad Short Film in true 4K (Man In The Mirror, Another Part Of Me upscaled), HIStory MoFi
2028 - Blood On The Dance Floor MoFi
2029 - Off The Wall 50 (Boxset - Beatles-like: Remastered Album, Demos, previously released 7"/12" versions and remixes)[, please release a concert I don't have much hope but please do and do proper remasters of the short films, not AI upscaled]
 
I'll collapse if this film does not have a scene that contains or alludes to Branca's involvement with the ATV catalogue purchase - so I was wondering what other famous musicians COULD have a cameo / blink and you'll miss / face absolutely obscured appearance like U2 and Bowie in Bohemian Rhapsody.

I'd imagine Macca, Stevie and Lionel would be my "educated" guesses as to who COULD have actual dialogue and not just a fly-by scene.
Before the scene with Branca, there was supposed to be a scene with Paul, who gave him the idea:

I’m incredibly proud of Jafaar Jackson. He is the absolute embodiment of Michael Jackson.
From the smallest movements to the mannerisms…the precision of his dance…the way he carries himself…the feeling he brings to every moment. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels exaggerated. He didn’t imitate Michael…he understood him.
Having worked with Michael for many years, I know how rare it is to capture his spirit with that level of authenticity and respect. There truly couldn’t have been a better choice!
Seeing Michael brought to life this way makes me smile…and it makes me feel proud!

I don't think a short scene were they discuss the tracklist of Thriller and mention Hot Street would "alienate" anyone.
It would just be completely out of place. A distraction from the many things they could be talking about. They're going to struggle for length as it is, without trying to pack it with trivia.

It would even make sense to tease Hot Street in the movie if they plan to release it as a single.
Oof. That would be cheap and nasty.

This is a biopic, not part of a big marketing campaign. There's a very big difference. Not everything has to be about trying to get a #1 single.

Your not an executor of the Mj estate or an heir of Michael Jackson
No. And I don't need to be. This movie shouldn't have anything to do with the "executors". It should be made by people who are good at making biopics.

hence the 1994 settlement doesn’t apply to you.
Thank you.

What are the chances of the final trailer featuring Hot Street and the song being released as the lead single
Oof. That would be pretty disgusting, and in bad taste.

They'd be better off saving the new songs for a new song album.

Most biopics are just marketing. nothing else. they are there so the general public regains interest in the artist.

So showing the process of michael making music and albums is a distraction? Isn't that what part of the movie should about?
