[The Shape]

This has a lot of potential.

In case anyone was wondering how tired I am today, I looked at that too fast and thought that Teller was playing Michael.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I hate to be that contrarian and I love me some Nia Long, but I really don’t see it.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Have they determined yet who is going to play Bubbles?

You just can't do Michael's story without Bubbles.

It's gonna be hard to see anyone else other than Angela Bassett playing Michael's mom.

She was ICONIC.

I really gotta sit down and watch that whole thing. I saw bits and pieces of it as a kid when they used to show it on VH1 all the time. The whole thing is on YouTube for free, I've got no excuses.

I didn't read the the tweet at first when I saw the picture. I thought Miles Teller was playing Michael Jackson and thought, "wow, they're really going blackface with this one"

He looks JUST LIKE his uncle. Now I'm confident in this movie.

 

[Stringer]

Damn it's actually eerie to see how accurate that is.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

He's looking at the Man in the Mirror.

 

[Bran The Man]

Is this our first official pic from the movie!? Jaafar looks SO much like Michael, it's uncanny.

I don't think I've ever been this amazed by a movie photo since they revealed Heath Ledger as the Joker!

This is gonna be one of those movies I HAVE TO see in the theater. Streaming won't do it justice.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

He looks great. Definitely on my most anticipated list for 2025

 

[emielaen]

Core trio looks great.

[whoknows]

Years ago, decades ago, i used to listen to 'off the wall' , not any more though.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

They are definitely taking this as seriously as they need to. Everything has looked on point.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Maturity is knowing Off The Wall was a better album than Thriller.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Might be too much to ask, since I don't know what specific moments in Jackson's life will be covered, but I'd love if the film gave us the Jackson 5 performance at Motown 25. Especially since that led into Michael debuting the moonwalk for the first time.

 

[Chesterfield]

Years ago, decades ago, i used to listen to 'off the wall' , not any more though.

How come? It's a great album.

 

[Drizzle]

Maturity is knowing Off The Wall was a better album than Thriller.

Overall I prefer Thriller to Off the Wall BUUUUUUUT I do prefer "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" to any song from Thriller. "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" come close though.
