The upcoming Michael Jackson movie, which finished filming in May 2024, reportedly requires major reshoots after it was discovered that a past settlement barred a former molestation accuser from having their story be dramatized,

An accuser's story frames the script for Lionsgate's "Michael" - but according to a Puck report, the filmmakers didn't know the Jackson estate made a deal years ago to exclude him from any movie representation.

In the newsletter, Belloni claims “producers are scrambling” to make decision about the movie’s ending. Based on Belloni’s report, Michael’s final act rehashing the 1993 child sexual abuse scandal and lawsuit filed by Evan Chandler (on behalf of his then 13-year-old son Jordan).

The Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' has run into serious trouble over an overlooked agreement that prevented one of the film's antagonists — the father of a boy who accused the singer of abuse — from being included in any biopic.

The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, Michael , has hit a big roadblock as the production team prepares for extensive reshoots of the film's third act. This is all taking place due to a long-forgotten agreement tied to the Jackson family that’s now come back to haunt the project.

This October, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael is scheduled to open in theaters, and it’s probably going to be a big deal. The film, which has been in the works for years, has already wrapped production.

There are a lot of moving pieces that go into making something as massive as director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic. Unfortunately for all involved in this 2025 movie, what could be considered the greatest stumbling block for the picture has cropped up after the project has wrapped shooting.

But apparently, the Antoine Fuqua biopic had every intention of addressing the allegations and its approach has landed the team in hot water. This is per a new report from Matthew Belloni’s newsletter Puck,
