0:00It's April 30th, you're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered Entertainment coverage. Minesgate's Topic Zach Adam Fogelson just dropped big news on the Michael Jackson biopic sequel, the first film smashed records with a $218 million worldwide opening weekend. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jafar Jackson, it only covers Michael's life up to the bad tour in the late 1980s. Fogelson confirmed Michael too is definitely happening. He says there's tons of material after that era, like the bad album, and that epic Super Bowl halftime show. Plenty of music and life moments to fill another movie, steering clear of the tough allegations stuff. The original script touched on those claims, but a legal deal from the Chandler settlement forced them out. Fans are buzzing about this, especially after the biopic's huge hit. It dodged the controversy head-on, focusing on the music and triumphs instead. Fogelson thinks the first one could climb to 700 to 800 million globally, maybe even

1:00hit 1 billion. Scheduling is the main hold-up right now. Fuqua's got a Netflix gig with Denzel Washington this summer, and producer Graham King is swamped with other projects. No firm dates yet, and talks about King maybe directing are still up in the air. Still, Fogelson sounds pumped, saying they've got the blueprint to keep the momentum rolling without rushing into complications. This sequel's got the beats to moonwalk its way, to screens eventually.
