Michael Jackson biopic trailer released...what y'all think?

[Dwight Howard]

Why would you expect MJ's estate to allow that stuff to be included?

They probably wouldn't which i said its probably gonna be a disenguous/unauthentic look at his life unlike movies about other stars like ray charles/Ike Tina , etc

 

[BangBike]

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

Do you think they will include Michael slapping Tupac over disrespecting Janet

Nah that's gonna be in whatever Tubi version comes out

 

[Doomsday]

Ironically, his regular size nose matched MJ's pre-Bad nose.

 

[Kaypain]

Basically, a full life wrapped up in a tidy little 98 minute run-time

The movie is supposed to be released into 2 parts so wtf are yall talking?

 

[MustafaSTL]

Teaser looks dope. . Dont know what people is bytching about

I doubt any of them bytching actually watched. The trailer looks fire and has me more excited about the movie.

 

[Ashtrey]

The prosthetic were a little off putting in that studio scene but still first weekend watch for the GOAT. I trust in Antoine Fuqua too, he's not Benny Boom.

 

[TMBlue]

Nothing, because the MJ estate probably does not want to open that can of worms

They did want to open that can of worms. They even shot scenes for it. They legally can't put it in the movie.

 

[avon barksdale]

Is this the movie nia long plays the momma

 

[concise]

To be honest, I feel like his life is too well documented for me to be excited for this. I'm sure it will do well though.

I feel like most biopics are pointless now for this exact reason. Everyone that's getting a movie about them has been in the public eye and on camera for decades.

Trailer looks dope

Why Quincy jones sound like don cornelious

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

I want a 3hr Basquiat bio pic with at least 4 art making montages

Broken down in 3 parts:
-Childhood: Depicts how his parents met and his family life.
-Teenage years: His juvenile hyjinxs and birth of SAMO with Al Diaz
-Young Adult: His skyrocket fame in art, his shows, international, dating Madonna, meeting Haring, Condo, Fab 5, Blondie Rammelzee, and his feuds with other artists

I want the film to be honest, and not Hollywood. Focus on race relations in NYC art scene, depict Warhol as a quasi closeted racist, show him meeting James Van Der Zee.

As for the art making montages, that will be the best part. The montages have to show everything: music, selection of books, him pulling info from books and then him actually making art.

Musical score should have Jazz galore, Jimi Hendrix, early 70s rap and 80s pop music.

I will write the screenplay if I have to.

I don't want a biopic of Basquiat doing weirdo shyt. No thanks!

 

[The God Poster]

Something about these music biopics all look the same(Biggie/Pac/NWA)

 

[MarcP]

They put a yam prosthetic on that nikka to make that nose job look like it was a reasonable thing to do

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

The movie is supposed to be released into 2 parts so wtf are yall talking?

That's still not enough time

Gonna be a rush job when they could've just picked one period of his life and used it to tell a focused story

I never get this about biopics. Why do we need to see a mf whole life play out?

Do we do it with fiction? No, and we still get great films and stories. I always felt like a D'Angelo biopic about the voodoo recording sessions would make for a really great premise for a film. None of the tropes usually associated with these types of movies. Just an analysis of the minds and work behind these songs we know so well

Either that or a funkadelic movie about the original lineups last concert together. Seemless integration of the music into the plot while also showcasing the core of what the band represents.

I get that fans want to see certain highlights of their favorite artist's careers, but it should be a movie first. If it can't stand on its own, then I feel it's a missed opportunity

Don't give me a medley of imitations at iconic moments. Instead present an interpretation of these artists at a sole, pivotal moment
