This could be an absolute game changer.
It's obviously photo shopped that's a well known Jackson 5 picture taken from this photo shoot.Is this real
@Gaz Petition to make this JaafarJacksonCommunity instead of MichaelJacksonCommunity, since this smart guy over here seems to think we're "freaking out over Jaafar"?
yup. definitely gave me a point saying you prefer seeing a 3 hour impersonator movie over the glorious Bad Tour in 4K. Oh yeah, and with the real Mike, the king of pop. But yeah, whatever huh
I don't care about either one foolish boy. I want more music.
you seem pretty happy here celebrating this crap film
Anything less than stepping on Branca's face is "celebrating" to you, maybe you'd just prefer we don't talk about anything MJ at all, since you seem to think there's a choice, like I or anybody else actually Asked for this. Live in reality, an MJ movie is the one thing we all would've absolutely expected and a decent way to pass some time speculating on, but you seem to think it's just us begging for a new King of Pop.
Biopic's just a movie and Jaafar's cast as MJ. That's it, no need for drama bro.
I don't see it
I hope he does a decent jobI thought so I figured it was PhotoshopIt's obviously photo shopped that's a well known Jackson 5 picture taken from this photo shoot.
Personally I don't care much about the Bad tour or his other solo concerts. I have the Dangerous one and rarely watch it, because I'm not that interested in watching songs like Heal The World. I've never seen the HIStory one and don't want to. I would like to have The Jacksons variety show released on DVD though. That's #1 for me. But that's owned by the CBS TV network. Since it was shot on videotape, there won't be a blu-ray version. Goin' Back To Indiana would be nice to have too, but I don't see that one coming out anytime soon, since Bill Cosby is in it. If a concert is released I'm only interested in ones by The J5/Jacksons. The songs on those are not as overplayed like post-Thriller ones, where watching the solo concerts of that stuff is boring to me, and its not the same without the brothers. Also the brothers concerts are live and not lip-syncing. If I want to see that, I'll just watch the music videos.
You're in a thread about the biopic complaining that people are talking about the biopic. I don't think others are the ones with no brain here.yeah let's see a 3 hour biopic with impersonators and at least a boring ass hour full of how branca is a great lawyer
shame on you supporting this crap. this is why they re release thriller every year and you dumbasses buy it. that's why we never get good stuff.
Basically, this.
I wouldn't know. I've only ever watched two in my entire life but, generally, even just the idea of a biopic doesn't interest me. Especially not for Michael. I have no plans to watch this thing. I might change my mind. Only time will tell.
I don't care about 4K, tbh, but I would like BWT 1987, please. All of it. In decent quality. I'm sick of watching crap quality YT clips.
Nope. Not me.
I've said exactly this. The very first photo of Jaafar, that b&w one, I didn't like it at all. It's a good photo and I understand why people got excited but I don't like it. No disrespect to Jaafar. If it wasn't him playing Michael it would be someone else and everyone seems to be raving that Jaafar is doing a great job. Me, I'm happy watching the real thing.
Exactly. It's a done deal. We're all free to spend money on this thing or not. I'm as uncertain about this thing as I was when it was first announced.
I want box sets. Going right back to Big Boy and the Steeltown stuff. I want lovely, high-quality box sets. All of it.
This is true.
I don't think the physical resemblance is the most important thing, tbh. It's more or less impossible to cast an actor that strongly resembles the real-life character they are going to play. Colman Domingo looks nothing like Joe Jackson and the same applies to more or less all of the actors cast so far, imo. That said, the photos we've seen of Colman and Nia as Joe and Katherine looked pretty good to me. The important thing is the performance. Hopefully the cast will do a good job.I don't see it
I think you're missing the point of what this biopic has the potential of achieving! Let's tell the true story once and for all... Then you'll get your 4K concert!yeah let's see a 3 hour biopic with impersonators and at least a boring ass hour full of how branca is a great lawyer
shame on you supporting this crap. this is why they re release thriller every year and you dumbasses buy it. that's why we never get good stuff.
I really hope we can get some sort of disclaimer, anything surrounding legal activities is direct from the book, spoken as per transcript etc. No room to move.
That'd be a dream.
Is that how it usually works with music biopics? Unreleased stuff is made available?
I find it interesting that they are selecting the cast while already filming... Is that the usual procedure or is it only done when children are involved because they might change physically in half a year?
My bad. I probably should have worded it better. I'm assuming these people haven't just been cast recently. I took it for granted they were spacing out the announcements to keep up people's excitement and interest. They've been filming for ages now, they must have done the casting before they started. I don't really follow film that much but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be casting as they go along. That would be weird, wouldn't it?
And by doing so they honor Michael's way of doing it too.
