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

Its a movie and that is what you do. But I'm pretty sure they did also film the performance many times in one take and then edit together the best parts. One thing I'm not sure about is the placement of those audience shots. The one during the moonwalk is too long. Also the edit right before moonwalk is a bit odd. He can be seen doing the same move twice. 6:35.

Jafaar does amazing job though.

I really do not like that audience shot right before the moonwalk, it’s like there’s a pause then we go to the audience shot then back to Jaafar and then he does the moonwalk , not a fan of the editing there.

Also, this is major nitpicking but Jaafar’s head moves a lot more like later Michael doing the moonwalk than the Motown25 performance.

I bet he will do the toe stand perfect too.

Can we at least use the right words? That's not a report. That's a speculative guess.

And again, that doesn't make it a better movie than something that made 49m.

Please, let's just ignore the fake stuff and wait until actual numbers are available.


Exactly. How can you make a movie about MJ and forget that one time when MJ actually made a movie??

How can you say this is fake stuff? We can see that you know nothing about how the box office works. This is called projections. When the movie releases, the final projections will be revealed.

We are here to discuss about the movie not to attack someone who's voicing his opinion.
 
That Billie Jean sequence on Jimmy Fallon looks atrociously more similar to the one from The Jacksons: An American Dream than to the real Motown 25 performance.

That said, Jaafar is clearly channeling extra Jackson-family vibes in his interviews. He is a Jackson, of course, so that demeanor is naturally there—but he seems to be leaning even more into Michael’s presence, which honestly baffles me. I actually see more of Michael in his interviews than in the trailers, despite all the costumes and prosthetics.

What if… for the fist time the estate had a Great strategy :

Release a basic compilation as a companion album for the movie

Use 2 or 3 New snippets of unreleased songs in the movie (goin’ to Rio during off the wall era - hot street/slapstick during thriller then Buffalo bill during bad for example)

Then, once the biopic is breaking records ariens the world, people knowing the unreleased snippets through the movie, announce a brand New album (with unreleased stuff from these 3 eras) with those 2 or 3 songs as a single and promote the album with clips by jaafar during 1 year until the first teaser for Michael 2 and do the same things but with unreleased stuff from dangerous until « remember what I told you (being the closing credit song and potentialité oscar winning song)

Ps : sorry for my english

Is this your first time ever discussing a big film prior to release? Because that's how it's coming across.

It is? Like, I'm nearly 50 years old, I've discussed films before.

Have I speculated on potential sales figures? No. If course not. It's dumb.

The site literally provides you with a tool that does exactly what you want. Use it.

As I said, that's not a report. One person guessed it will make 10 million, another person guessed it will make 87 trillion. They're both guesses and they're both pointless.

A month from now, we will know how much money it made. No point regurgitating this nonsense beforehand. They're just clickbait headlines from tabloids who make money by people reading their articles.

That's the point - this isn't about the box office. It's blind speculation. These people don't know how the film will do. Nobody knows.

It's not even opinion though. It's compulsively regurgitating the drivel from fake news sites who have hated Michael all along.

Jafaar might be, but I will never forget Jimmy Fallon's mockery of Michael on that MTV Millenial (non) award!

People have short memories. Everybody's getting carried away with hype and are desperate to click on anything with the word Michael in it.

Yeah we have to. That amount of views doesn't seem usual at all when looking at the recent interviews on The Tonight Show channel. Its good seeing that people are interested.

I fear that’s too out the box for this estate..
