This looks worse ngl

Soon to be 3

Idk what this means but there will be singalong and sensory screenings apparently

I find the semi-ones a bit more normal though because they're telling the stories of average people. Those guys had life stories screenwriters wanted to warp into films and producers had incentive to capitalize off real-time fame of stars. Anyone can get those types of stories and a traditional 50 or Em biopic is a far harder sell now despite legendary careers

The wild part we don't get much these days are rappers who Hollywood producers actively want in films, let alone with those budgets. Rappers had avenues for acting and far more hip hop films they don't now.

Last year, Kneecap, with only 1 album out got all 3 members to star as themselves in an a semi-autobiographical band origin story co-starring Michael Fassbender, premiered at Sundance and was Ireland's Oscar selection.

If you got a story that a screenwriter wants to tell i think it'll be possible. Idk about the post-career biopics of lesser-known acts though

Good pull. That was one of the more unique biopics too cause it was less about their come up and more about the preservation of the Irish language through music

i'm surprised i thought you would be more cynical about this but you must know something i don't

Should have been Chris Pratt

The more I think about it, the more a Michael Jackson biopic seems like a legitimately impossible project

I can understand why this one seems to just be a play-the-hits 'Remember this?' fest, the appeal seems to be in historical reenactment instead of getting to the heart of a deeply unknowable person

When Jaafar wears sunglasses, you are fully just looking at Michael Jackson, but his eyes just aren't the same, I feel for him, it's not an easy task to act, sing, dance, all while being compared to one of the most distinctive-looking and internationally-recognised people of all time

Bro really about to not give the movie the nod of approval

Nah why Jaafar got so much sauce

looks like made for tv film but will watch when it gets released hope im wrong n it does mj's musical legacy justice

@KingOfPop what you think so far

Poster is embarrassing, that came out first and I was dreading seeing anything else but after seeing the teaser and the reaction to it I'm looking forward to April

Can’t replace the GOAT

This s*** looks flawless, took a sec to realize they werent just using the actual clips as a lil montage

The nose looks pretty accurate, its really just his eyes are smaller

S*** looks ass
(The AI not the frame)

Not trying to get spoiled on this Michael Jackson movie

what year you think we’d get a Wayne biopic
