Michael Jackson Biopic: Jaafar Jackson Embraces Nia Long On Set

[@KRWLive]

Please don’t mess this bio up please

[@ramirezproductions0826]

I hope they don't. They got everything on the line with this film; especially since they promised they gonna address the whole "allegations" thing he faced in the film.

[@draesynesofficial]

Oh trust me they won’t, they know it’s all eyes on them

Antoine Fuqua is director (Training Day) so it should be good

[@empowerimpact6324]

I also wish Jaafar would tour with the remaining brothers to sing Michael's parts because with just Jackie Marlon & Tito it just sounds like Karaoke night & the legacy of Jackson's songs deserves better to be sung in the proper pitch as Michael

[@tyroneanderson5619]

Please don't screw up the movie, remember the story begins when MJ gets off the stage. We already know how talented he was, show the thinking behind his genius, show the traumatic events he had to go through to get to where he is and address the "allegations" against him to tell everyone the truth. Sure show us his talent and impact on the music industry, but above all else show MJ the human being. We need to give people something to really think about and remember when they leave the theatres.

[@BILL-uh3tr]

Preach there was so much more to the King of Pop than his music

[@velvetsky5117]

I feel the same way. Michael traveled the world sharing peace and love. I'd like to see this film explore how emotional he was regarding the media. They wanted to talk more about his plastic surgeries than his charities, benefiting millions of people.

[@PrincessNine]

Honestly if the 3rd act isn't aggressively about the image he had to tirelessly fight through the 90s even after death...well then the movie is toothless and playing stupid

A good trick is to fool people into thinking you are a good actor by surrounding yourself with great actors who will elevate and mentor you…Ben affleck is a pretty terrible actor…but when he directs his movies he gets the very best actors…that’s why his movies are so highly rated 💁🏽‍♂️ but his non director movies are boo boo.

[@hamiltonv1]

Jaafar is actually Jermaine’s son & Michael’s nephew.

[@AaronNazzy]

2:42 it’s so funny prince said this, because with as much footage as I’ve seen of Michael online, all I think about is how much he cared for people, especially children. Michael loved innocent things and was a TRUE child at heart himself. You can really feel how much mike loved to help people just by watching him speak with his fans. Whenever he had the chance, he donated earnings from a show, performance, tour, etc to those in need. A lot of people don’t know that Michael actually won the Guinness world record for being the biggest celebrity philanthropist back in 2000.

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

Don't be surprised if it's not the best film. Many times white producers purposely sabotage the quality of Black films to keep their own films looking and feeling better. And you think it's a act of incompetence but the directors are too competent and too creative to produce shitty work. It's a deliberate fall to make Black stories less exuberant. Walking outside is already a bad sign because it shows no set production. In movies like the Hangover, you see these expensive hotels etc. Michael's life was expense. It was the height of luxury so they damn sure better kick that budget out to make it look real. But again don't be surprised if it's a glorified Hallmark film because they don't want to empower Blacks. They want Blacks to live in their shadows, that's why they make Black Little Mermaid and Black Spider Man and Black versions of white characters, so it's always a Imitation Game. Peep the game.

This film should get a $1 or $2B Box Office if it’s good. Maybe get a 4hrs run-time or split it up to part 1, 2, and 3 if needed, and probably move it to August 2025 in time for what would have been the late King of Pop’s 67th Birthday. I think just Universal Pictures should distribute the film. Not Lionsgate. Should’ve just been both Universal Pictures & Warner Bros Pictures

Universal and Warner are competing companies, becomes a problem.
