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

Where is all the footage though, mj had a camera guy following him wherever he went. That would be really interesting to see. Or maybe it was just for his private collection....

She has valid points, branca and the whole tii situation seem suspect.
But unfortunately all we have left now is a hopefully authentic, positive biopic which will set some facts straight, which is a good thing no matter how we ended up at this point.

This is what ive been asking for years & why hasnt any new footage leaked in a while
 
Things I hope the film covers or at least touches on.

- Michael's struggle with his body image/puberty in tandem with the J5's commercial decline between late 1972-1975

- Michael's time in NYC in 1977-1978 while filming the Wiz.

- The loneliness he felt in the era between Off The Wall and Thriller.

Based on the trailers, leaks and info I have, yes (at least mentioned - the movie does have a time skip from the early to late 70s but from what I gather it is mentioned or shown with later scenes), yes and probably

Smh seems like we'll never get the jacksons era
 
Liked the new tv spot , was that Bad era MJ in the studio? Sounded good!! and then Thriller era MJ in the studio at the end? Now that’s rock n roll.

Dare I say the voice was a little over the place , it seemed a bit different each time. The most authentic part was from beat it . From the top

Can I also add. I weirdly seen Fabio Jackson and Randy Jackson Jr in Jaafar’a face during the bad era recording session 😂

I think it's the thrad era but the hair doesn't match. The hair is wrong in so many places imo & the voice is like you said all over the place. I feel like they're mixing voices or the production still isn't done because even in the opening real trailer... the 1st few quotes sound like 2 different ppl....idk but i really hope they fix alot of these things!

You could literally skip an era just by showing a 30 second montage , it wouldn’t be difficult

1975 would be interesting to see, The Jacksons leaving Motown. But it seems that the movie mostly skips that part completely, would've also been way too much to add and doesn't make sense to include as it doesn't contribute to the story in any way
 
I'm counting down the days until the Michael film premieres in San Francisco. April 24th. I signed up for alerts on pre-sale tickets. I'm hoping to meet other fans dressed in honor of the gloved one. In the meantime, I lucked out and purchased tickets to see MJ the Musical which I missed the last time they were in town. It would be spectacular if Foreverland performed at an after-party!

This is their chance. But it seems they simply flat out refuse to.

Yeah, often they focus on relationships. Quincy and/or DR would be a good one. Like, I'd probably go to see a Quincy biopic if he had one.

Maybe they wanted to avoid stuff that already had a series.

I guess the group changing record companies was a very big deal to the brothers, but pretty insignificant to everybody else.
 
Just my own theory here, I think Bad live at Wembley will start the biopic and when he smiles that will take us into a flashback to his childhood performing with his brothers and start the movie properly.

I think the film will end with Mike leaving his brothers during Victory tour and not get as far as the Bad era. As we've barely seen anything from the Bad era, aside from Bad live at Wembley

If that were true, it would leave to much to be covered in the second part.
 
I wonder if we will finally get the victory tour released after this…we all know they clearly have professional shot high def footage as shown in the Thriller 40 doc. Sugafoot (Michaels drummer on the victory and other tours) says it exists also.

I’m hoping it will happen…it just might though, the trailer is showing a lot of the Victory era hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I can’t wait for April 24th. I took April 24th as holiday from work. I’ll be watching it in IMAX
