Michael Jackson Biopic in the works from Bohemian Rhapsody director

[Dynamite James]

Michael was a superstar by age 11.
He was a working musician years before that.
You're covering 40 years of the most famous person on Earth.
2 hours aint gonna cut it. Mans life had so many layers.
It needs to be a mini-series.
There needs to be multiple actors like in American Dream.
Evan Ross is the only choice for Bad-This Is It Michael.

They should skip his childhood years (It’s been done already) and start from his 20s till his death. 1978 - 2009

 

[Yinny]

They need to cover all the controversies and the drug use and surgeries and pretty clear addiction to painkillers to make it realistic

I’m as big a fan as they come but it’s time

I kinda agree with this.
I would start with Leaving Motown, Jacksons TV show, Going Places flopping, filming The Wiz, then coming back hard with Destiny to blowing up with Off The Wall.

A Michael Jackson movie can't be done in one sitting. It needs like 3-4 parts.

 

[FeverPitch2]

The Jackson family announced this on their IG.
This thing is happening, brehs.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

this will never see the light of day

If its not a black director its going to be trash.


Mark my words

How can you say this? Lol

Those Tupac, biggie movies are not watchable now. Black directors.

The Salt and Peppa one was trash as fuhk.. White Director

it doesn't matter the color bro. Director Just need to grasp the whole story and fuhk if it offends members of the family. That be the thing right there. The relatives dont wanna see the bad part of their lives. I think the Queen movie was good with that.

Only movie/ biopic that I truly love was Ray Charles movie. That was by white director. Can we just chill with race on here for a thread or two? Both races have done trash work

It's made with the blessing of the Jackson estate. You won't see any of this shyt, just like the Freddie Mercury one was reaaaally tame. Mercury was a sex addict.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

at the MJ biopic.

If they present it like his kids are his I’ma lose it

 

[Jerz-2]

I can't see how this movie is going to succeed....at ALL.

You'll never find the right actor, the story will be watered down, Hollywood will take liberties, just like they do in all other biopics to make them more "appealing" from a Tinseltown standard....it's just a bad idea all around, some things just don't NEED to be memorialized on film.

The Salt and Peppa one was trash as fuhk..

I actually didn't mind that one.

Plus, the two ladies that played them were FINE, FINE, FINE.....Leila Odom is fine as hell, and the other chick's (G.G.) BODY was damn near worth watching it for that ALONE.

They also need to go into details about the allegations. How they started with meeting The Chandler family. So much info the general public doesn’t know

It is necessary for damage control. The allegations will be addressed. Fans have been asking for a docu series specifically to prove Michaels innocence. The producer himself did 5 years of research on the topic. The estate has nothing to hide

I’m not wasting brain cells explaining this to you. If You Know You Know.

There is NO white director that can understand nor properly convey the struggle that Joe Jackson, as a BLACK MAN had to go through to get his family out of the ghetto and meld them into the most prominent musical family of the modern era, which DIRECTLY led to everything that Michael Jackson came to embody, both good and bad.


Miss me with that “It ain’t about race” bullshyt. You’re the type that would have rooted for Norman Jewison to direct Malcolm X over Spike Lee

You too passionate about shyt on here like you cant accept opinions.. man fuhk you. What I said was fact.. its not the director its about can the full story be told without families of the person getting in their feelings.

Aretha Franklin movies to me were not up to par because they didnt portray the real Aretha. She was borderline loose with the p*ssy. Used drugs... doesnt matter who the director is if the story cant be told in whole. You always in your punk ass feelings..
