Michael Jackson Biopic Delayed Due to Legal Issues

News summary

The Michael Jackson biopic, titled 'Michael,' is encountering delays due to legal complications stemming from a forgotten agreement with Jordan Chandler, who accused Jackson of sexual abuse in 1993. The agreement, which was part of a $23 million settlement, prohibits Chandler's depiction in any projects about Jackson. This oversight in the biopic's script necessitates significant rewrites and reshoots, particularly affecting the film's third act that heavily referenced the Chandler case. As a result, the release date has been pushed from April to October 2025. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film stars Jackson's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, and aims to portray an 'honest' depiction of the singer's life despite the ongoing legal challenges surrounding his legacy. The production team remains committed to maintaining the film's integrity while complying with the legal stipulations.
