Third Act of MJ Biopic Will Be Scrapped and Reshot to be Scrapped Due Legal Issue
I originally saw this as a thread on r/boxoffice which linked a tweet which then linked the paywalled/subscriber only newsletter. I know there's a twitter ban so will post neither the link nor the thread .
Selective quotes from thread, which are apparently from article or related:
Wow, I thought they would either ignore or barely cover the allegations. Very glad this is getting scrapped and at cost.
“The third act focused on 1993 investigation into Jordan Chandler’s claim that Michael Jackson sexually abused him at 13 years old.
Jackson’s estate forgot they signed a deal with the Chandler family years ago to never include them in any sort of movie, rendering the third act pretty much unusable.“
Sounds like an even bigger clusterfuck than I could possibly have imagined. People are speculating it could be delayed until next year.
