In this video, I break down why the Michael Jackson biopic had to be split into two films, what that decision reveals about the story Hollywood is trying to tell, and why this might be the most ambitious - and risky - music biopic ever made.
Hollywood is calling it one movie.
But the upcoming Michael was never going to fit into a single story.

This isn’t gossip.
This isn’t scandal bait.
It’s an honest look at why Michael Jackson’s life defies the traditional biopic format, how the rise and fall can’t coexist comfortably in one movie, and what the film absolutely has to get right to earn audience trust.
We’ll talk about:
– Why the two-film structure was unavoidable
– What the first movie will likely focus on
– Where the story is almost certainly split
– And why this biopic faces a challenge no other music film has faced before
If Hollywood pulls this off, it could redefine the modern biopic.
If they don’t… audiences won’t forgive it.
