It could be a few seasons on one of the streamers if they really wanted to get funky. Tell the whole story no way they can make a good Michael Jackson movie in 2-3 hours. Has there ever been a biopic sequel :jbhmm: his movie would need one.

It's either they make this a TV show or they go left field and focus on a specific period in his life because even with 3hrs it's still not enough to tell his story

MJ needs a series or, at the least, a three part movie:

Indiana to Motown.
Motown to Bad.
Bad to This Is It.

But told non sequentially so the story loops around on itself and links past to present and future with MJ handling the voice over narrative like Pac in Ressurection so we see the outer we know but also hear the inner from his perspective.

Final scene is him backstage going out for the first performance of Billie Jean which we watch as the credits roll and it all ends with this:

The crowd goes wild. The star shines, in his element. Then silence.
