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,

"Michael," starring Jaafar Jackson, faces controversy over its depiction of abuse allegations and a $23 million settlement.

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.
