Estate approval def means some things being ignored

@KingOfPop

not sure how I feel about this lol

The screenplay is by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan, the writer behind “Skyfall,” “Sweeney Todd” and “The Aviator.” King and Logan previously collaborated on the Martin Scorsese film.

A "The Crown" type show with each season covering a different era would be fire

better be the The Aviator length too

only way this would work

According to a press release announcing the distribution deal, “‘Michael’ will give audiences an in-depth portrayal of the complicated man who became the King of Pop. It will bring to life Jackson’s most iconic performances as it gives an informed insight into the entertainer’s artistic process and personal life.”

“I am very excited that Lionsgate will be part of this epic film, and thrilled to be working with Graham, who has proven success in telling iconic life stories, from ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ to ‘Ali’; when combined with John, we couldn’t be in more extraordinary hands,” Drake said.

King added, “I first met the Jackson family in 1981 and I’m humbled to bring their legacy to the big screen. Sitting at Dodger Stadium watching the Victory Tour, I could never have imagined that nearly 38 years later I would get the privilege to be a part of this film.”

“Ever since Michael was little, as a member of The Jackson 5, he loved the magic of cinema,” said Katherine Jackson, the singer’s mother. “As a family, we are honored to have our life story come alive on the big screen.”

The Jacksons: An American Dream still holds up as a miniseries

I watched that on repeat whenever it aired on TV when MJ died.

I remembered it being good

Michael's story is WAYYYY too f***ing big to be told in 2-3 hours

Oh you’re one of those clowns who also whined about the MJ musical because it didn’t sing and dance about fake claims of child abuse

He didn’t do that s*** and there is so much more to MJ than lies. It’s time things like this were made focusing on him as a person and his art. No sensationalist bullshit

Post to avy

Tom Holland is Michael Jackson.

not on my watch

I’m still not convinced that Michael raped those children.
You ask any casual and they talk about it like it’s a sure thing.

@KingOfPop ATTACK!

I’m very ignorant on this matter lol.

Michael Cera.

I didn’t even know there was a musical

That trial took up a portion of his career whether he did it or not.

If this is going to focus on just the 80s then it’ll be fine.

Beyond that I feel like there’s gonna be some gaps

Its frustrating that they literally found zero evidence of him ever hurting children in any capacity and yet some people like my GF believe he's 100% guilty. They raided his entire house and found NOTHING.

and then they released that garbage HBO documentary as well
