It was going to be Michael potentially up until, if not up until his death, up until the late 90s.

It's been estimated that there's about 30% of the footage from that original four-hour film is somewhere waiting to be used.

And that even the stuff around the Jordan Chandler allegations, that can be edited in such a way that they can use it for a sequel.

And the producer is saying that, Graham King and everyone involved, that if this thing does well, and it's off to a great start, we will make a second film.

That the good times kept rolling.

That Michael Jackson just went on to conquer the world and never did anything wrong.

I mean, again, this is a sanitized portrayal of an artist.

The way Anton Foucault and John Logan present Michael Jackson is that he could do no wrong.

The film will not do anything to cast the singer in a bad light whatsoever.

He is so pure.

He is so gifted, so talented.

Songs just come to him like that.

In his spare time, he goes to toy stores, buys everything and goes to hospitals and gives out those gifts to children.

I thought that was quite tone deaf, that bit, to be honest, that this guy could do no wrong.

And in 1988, we see him on the Bad tour.

I think what they're trying to say is, look, he followed up Triller, the most successful album of all time, a five star album across the board with Bad, another knockout album.

which is to say that Triller was no fluke and this guy just kept on going and performed to the biggest audiences and it just stayed that way.

So if aliens came down and they saw the Michael Jackson film, they would think, what a guy, and that they've just ignored everything else.

There are new developments.

I mean, there's been developments recently with the Casio family from New Jersey.
