Studio Reveals 30% of Next Michael Jackson Biopic Is Already Filmed

Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group chair says a surprising amount of the follow-up to Michael Jackson biopic Michael is already in the can. He estimates up to 30% of a second film was shot during the first production’s downtime. The first movie stars Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop and wraps in 1988 before the most controversial chapters of his life. Legal hurdles around Jackson’s past allegations affected the original plan to cover those years. Adam Fogelson hints the sequel will dive into later milestones in Jackson’s career and catalogue, with a non-linear approach to storytelling. With backing from Jackson’s estate and strong box-office returns so far, the next instalment looks set to explore untold moments from his later years.
