The Michael Jackson biopic ‘Michael’ directed by Antoine Fuqua is nearly four hours long. Hollywood scuttlebutt suggests distributor Lionsgate may cut the biopic in half, making it a two-parter. It’s an option being considered—but is not set in stone yet.

Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael,” may be split into two movies. As a result, the Lionsgate and Universal Pictures International project will likely push its current Oct. 3 release date.

Produced by Bohemian Rhapsody’s Graham King, the upcoming film stars MJ’s nephew Jaafar Jackson in the title role and co-stars Colman Domingo as his father. At the same time, Miles Teller plays manager John Branca (who also produces).
