The music was separated from the artist in 2009 imo but 2019 reversed that idea. The narrative is too one sided now, Michael has been taking punches to the face since 2019, finally it feels like the Estate is fighting back, it is well due.
That is if the Estate is clear and aggressive in their stance regarding the allegations, if they can’t explicitly speak out his innocence in the film (because of fear of media criticism) then they have failed on Michael and his legacy. So I am personally very happy regarding the supposed leak of the script.
Michael is still selling and that is good but the biopic will most likely have a very positive effect on his legacy. I expect a big gain of thriller sales.
What would you propose the Estate to do instead of a biopic? I see nothing else in a creative or musical sense. I see this as Michael’s last stand, his final big moment before the inevitable drop into obscurity.
I personally can’t wait and I hope you will eventually get around and view the project more positively.
