The upcoming Michael Jackson movie, which finished filming in May 2024, reportedly requires major reshoots after it was discovered that a past settlement barred a former molestation accuser from having their story be dramatized,

The Michael Jackson biopic is reportedly facing major reshoots after an alleged legal issue surrounding the inclusion of a sexual abuse accuser. Set to be released in October 2025, Michael is the latest in a long line of biopics about various pop megastars from Robbie Williams to Bob Dylan.

An accuser's story frames the script for Lionsgate's "Michael" - but according to a Puck report, the filmmakers didn't know the Jackson estate made a deal years ago to exclude him from any movie representation.

The film Michael reportedly shapes itself around Jordan Chandler's 1993 molestation accusations against Jackson, which his team legally agreed to never dramatize in film

The estate-approved biopic on Michael Jackson is reportedly in limbo due to child molestation allegations that continue to haunt the late King of Pop, who died in 2009. Distributors for “Michael” announced in November the release date for the film would be rescheduled from April 2025 to later this year,
