After Michael Jackson's death people have been absolutely loving him, and rightly so. All of his somgs to me are absolutely fantastic, and there is no doubt in anyones mind as to whether or not he is a pop god. His legacy will most certainly carry on forever, and thats why people are already talking about making a movie about his life. When you think about it, it was always going to happen. The guy led an amazing and yet troubled life. This movie was inevitable. In the couple days following his death, TV stations all over were frantically trying to get something on the air related to him. Also, if anyone has checked iTunes lately, they will know that his hit songs have taken up over 30 of the top 100 songs, and almost all the top 10.
What I don't get is, how can they make a movie about his life without semi-insulting him. They can't. Either they sort of tip-toe around how weird he was toward the end of his life, and focus on his prime years, or they include it and the movie gets wierd and everyone feels uncomfortable. Either way, people will walk out of the theater and feel like it didn't do him justice. Let's just pray they nail it.
Who will they
get to play him? Will they use one actor? Use one for his prime and a different one near the end? Or will they just use a whole bunch of different actors like the Bob Dylan movie I'm Not There which I think I speak for everyone when I say what in the hell happened in that movie. Anyway, my feeling is, there really is no right way to do this movie, so leave the tributes to his life to the E! True Hollywood Stories and the old TV Land movie about his life. Please Hollywood, just back off of this one, for once. Check out another story on this topic at http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Fantasy-Casting-The-Inevitable-Michael-Jackson-Movie-13739.html
