I don’t believe anyone can stuff MJs whole life into a single movie without making HUGE compromises. This should be trilogy or a limited series.
The original cut of the film is rumored to be about 4 hours, more recently cut down to 3½ hours.
While not advertised as such there are also rumors that the film will be released in two halves or possibly stop at a certain point and depending on how well the first film does get a sequel using footage mostly already shot.
The film also isn’t allowed to bring up the 1993 child abuse allegations. (Or are at least restricted about what they can say about the allegations.)
Which is all to say if you go until the mid 90s (up to the album HIStory), and gloss over things until about 2001 (the album Invincible) which you call the end… You can maybe get this into two films.
But yeah, it should be a series.
Interesting, I didn’t know about those rumors. Hope it is true.
Yeah I was expecting the MJ foundation to restrict those uncomfortable parts. It’s fine for me if they at least mention it briefly and maybe end the film in the late 90s after it went downhill. I guess if they do show the later years it will be very much through rose-colored glasses and I can’t blame them for it.
