Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' delayed after estate reveals 1993 legal agreement with child accuser that original script and footage violates.

Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson biopic was blindsided by a deal Jackson's estate had made with one of his molestation accusers, forcing reshoots.

The upcoming Michael Jackson movie, which finished filming in May 2024, reportedly requires major reshoots after it was discovered that a past settlement barred a former molestation accuser from having their story be dramatized,

Directed by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day," "The Equalizer" films) with a script by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan, "Michael" tells the story of the late superstar, who died in 2009 at the age of 50 as a result of acute propofol intoxication.

Sources say 'Fast & Furious’ veteran Neal H. Moritz is pursuing producing a film focused on the group’s success in the aftermath of its legal battle with former manager Lou Pearlman.

But apparently, the Antoine Fuqua biopic had every intention of addressing the allegations and its approach has landed the team in hot water. This is per a new report from Matthew Belloni’s newsletter Puck,

A biopic about the late musical superstar Michael Jackson has been postponed for a minimum of six months and is to require reshoots of crucial scenes due to legal issues over the portrayed of child sexual abuse claims.

Michael, the forthcoming Michael Jackson biopic, is facing a potential delay over the film’s controversial third act, which has legal implications.

The 'It Ends With Us' director and co-star apologizes repeatedly in the six-minute-plus message for anything he did to upset her, and ends the recording by saying, "You probably have kids all over you and a baby on your boob and you're listening to me ramble at 2 in the morning."

The high-profile biopic Michael from Lionsgate is reportedly in jeopardy, with its third act deemed legally unusable due to a shocking oversight.

The team behind an upcoming big-budget Michael Jackson biopic is racing to rewrite, reshoot, and re-edit the film’s third act after they discovered it violated a decades-old agreement with one of Jackson’s underage accusers.
