The biopic 'Michael', directed by Antoine Fuqua and featuring Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson, is undergoing substantial changes due to an old legal agreement. The film's third act was initially focused on the 1993 child-molestation investigation involving the Chandler family. However, a legal settlement prevents the dramatization of their story. John Branca, an executor of Jackson's estate, did not alert the filmmakers to these restrictions until after filming had completed. As a result, the film's future narrative structure is uncertain, with a premiere date now set for October 2025, postponed from April.
The Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' must undergo significant rewrites due to a contract that prohibits the dramatization of the Chandlers' allegations from the 1993 investigation.
Scheduled to release in October 2025, the film now faces challenges in framing its narrative about Jackson's alleged abuse due to legal constraints.
