No movie can do his life and music justice.

I thought they were splitting the movie into 2 parts

 

[Rev]

rumors are they splitting it into 2 movies. They should do it.

Joint will make stupid money.


sidenote: I will make sure to take my sons. Just to let em know there is only one king. Do the same for all yall kids, nieces, nephews. Esp these Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids.

My youngest almost knows the words to all of the songs of Off The Wall.

Came in to say I'm definitely going with the kids. This should be a family affair for all indeed.

That transition from “Beat It” to “Wanna Be Starting Something” to “Billie Jean” in the trailer was clean.

The plan is to greenlight the second movie if the first movie is financially successful. Even though they’ve got enough footage for a second movie they’d have to drastically reshoot it because they can’t mention the accuser from the 90’s and the film originally made that a crucial plot point. They also have to negotiate new deals with Jaafar, Nia Long, Colman Domingo and Miles Teller to shoot additional scenes; all of this means MORE money to spend so they want to make sure its worth the investment first.

Addressing the optionality for a second half of Michael, Fogelson replied, “Since the last time we worked together on an earnings call, we’ve had the great pleasure of seeing the director’s cut of the first film, and it is exceptional.”

He continued, “While we’re not yet ready to confirm plans for a second film, I can tell you that the creative team is hard at work making sure that we’re in a position to deliver more Michael soon after we release the first film.”






I.E. We make our profit on the first film and you’ll get the second soon after.
