The Official 'Michael' Bio-Pic Thread

Just wondering what will happen, if there will be a second movie. I mean Neverland will certainly be shown, as they already filmed scenes there and there was nothing wrong with the ranch itself. But wasn't there some kind of legal issue with portraiting certain persons, when it comes to the 1993 chapter?

Yup, they'll just tell a different story
 
Does anyone know if someone has been cast to play Paul McCartney or even if Paul will be in the film at all? I’m just curious because I think that would be pretty cool and he is somewhat important to the story. I could see them leaving his name out out of off the wall given that he only contributed the one track. However, he is very pertinent to thriller, given that he’s part of the first official single. Also his lesson to Michael about publishing. Now, obviously they’re probably going to leave out any of their other Collabs given that they were on Paul’s albums and they probably don’t have the rights to use them and they are also not really relevant to the story. I just think it would be neat to see who they cast because it has to be worlds better than the casting for the new Beatles biopic lol

I hope not he stabbed Michael in the back after BS1

He doesn't deserve to be depicted.

Inside the ‘Michael’ Overhaul: $15 Million Reshoots, Removing Child Abuse Allegations and What’s in Store for Sequels

'Michael' underwent reshoots that cost $10 million or more in order to scrap an original ending that included the child abuse allegations against him.

Interesting, now we have an idea as to how Part 2 is gonna be like
King hopes to turn “Michael” into a two-part story. Lionsgate and Universal (which is overseeing international distribution) believe there’s enough material for at least one more movie. The studios suggest roughly 30% of the material that was jettisoned from “Michael” could be reconstituted for potential sequels. It’s unclear how future films would handle the legal battles and abuse allegations that consumed much of Jackson’s final years. King has told the studios he would focus on the singer’s later albums, including 1991’s “Dangerous” and 2001’s “Invincible,” the purchase and construction of Neverland Ranch, as well as “his love of animals.”

Absolute incompetence on the part of whatever legal team was responsible here.

Genuinely shocked that the whole “they had to re-film the last third of the movie because somehow nobody bothered to look at the Chandler settlement” rumor was true. Absolute incompetence on the part of whatever legal team was responsible here.

The incompetence of the Estate was somewhat funny before, but now it's actually becoming damaging. Not good at all.
 
There goes the hope the movie has just been split into 2 parts and most of the footage could somehow still be shown and used if the 30 percent is based on real information.

Now please prove us all wrong and make a better 2 part movie than it was originally envisioned with the 1 movie cut, and include the allegations. Couldnt they just sell it as the trial from 2005 and combine the accusations of all accusers into 1. That would get the important facts out, new fans can still read up how it really was in detail.
 
This is interesting:
