Depending on how the film is structured and how much of Michael’s early life is featured it might do well enough to cut it at the Jackson’s leaving Motown for Epic.

The Pepsi incident might be too much of a cliffhanger for audiences and this being an awards season hopeful.

Still nothing as of yet regarding this movie, just hype for a fake movie poster and crickets

Yeah it’s a bit strange considering it supposedly drops this year.

 

[In The Zone '98]

Two parts would make it feel more epic. And MJ is deserving of that

The Michael Jackson biopic is now expected to be split into 2 films.

The first film is expected to end with Michael Jackson leaving the Jackson 5 after the release of his first solo album.

Can’t cover this guy in a single film.

You either make it a 4 season/10 episode deal on streaming or leave it alone.

Gonna be trash,

They always make this mistake with bio flicks. Wanna cover the persons entire life instead of the most important/unique aspects of his life.
We don't need to see michael being born all the way to his death. Some parts of peoples lives (even famous people) is just normal boring shyt like anyone else's.

Bio flicks are always better when they just stick to most interesting era in their life. They should just stick to the thriller era, and make a perfect film about that. you cut off the crust and focus on sliver of the best part. Think of a movie like Lincoln, we didn't need to see him growing up on a farm and deciding he might run for president one day.

If you want to do his whole life, make a miniseries instead of film. (they already did that)

The Marley film attempted to do that, but they still tried to cover like 6-7 important moments in the movie and it just was too much.
