I'm happy to be here.
Yeah, absolutely.
So the producer Graham King has had the rights for a while.
He was coming out of the success of Bohemian Rhapsody, the extremely commercially successful biopic of Freddie Mercury.
But a lot of times it's kind of seemed like it's a beleaguered or if not cursed production.
The shooting actually finished and the estate dug out a certain legal clause to show that a certain depictions in the film of
an early 90s abuse case, weren't allowed to be shown.
Absolutely.
So the film went through some very expensive reshoots that the estate funded, apparently around 10 to 15 million.
So what's finally made it to the screen is quite a different version of the script that was originally planned, which was going to end in the early 90s.
And it will end just after Thriller and just before Bad and seeing Michael Jackson at the peak of his fame.
Well, I think that the film would, and the studio Lionsgate, would quite like you to forget that there's any dissenting voices.
There's been a full-scale marketing assault.
There are flash mobs on the street of New York.
There was a pop-up gallery to celebrate Jackson's costumes in Soho, New York.
And all around the world, there's been influencer screenings.
So this is kind of before the rest of the world gets to see the movie in the hope that that will be a nice trickle of early buzz for the movie.
He is the goat.
Like that wasn't like a film.
I felt like I was watching a concert.
