Michael Jackson cinemacinebiography will need to be rewritten, says website; understand

The release date of the Michael Jacksonentitled as Michaelwill be postponed because the third act of the film will need to be entirely rewritten, said the news site Puck (via NME).

The case was closed after the two parties agreed the year following the complaint.

Matthew Bellonico-founder of Pucksaid that the third act of the film “depends specifically on the impact of the circus around Chandler“.

“In the script I read – who told me to be close to the final version, although these things are often revised – a tense sequence involved White (Miles Teller), Johnnie Cochran (Derek Luke) and other lawyers of Jackson discussing whether they should pay Chandler And your family, “he said.

He continued: “In a moment, the lawyers reproduce the infamous recording, presented in the court, in which the father of Jordan threatens to use his son’s accusations to ‘destroy’ his ex-wife and the career of Jackson“.

“The following scenes dramatize the extensive police investigation, including a ‘traumatizing’ body search Michaelwhich marks him for the rest of his life, “he added.

Belloni further stated that the heirs of Jackson They signed an agreement that prohibits the dramatization of the case. Thus, therefore, much of what was recorded for the movie became “useless”.

Now, according to Bellonirefilling depend on the approval of Universal. He said, however, that the sources are “confident” and “hopeful”.
