Is he still making it? It's all gone very quiet. Have there been any recent updates?
I'm hoping he's keeping his cards close to his chest and will be ready to unleash it whenever Reed announces his next hitpiece.

Yeah COVID derailed everything. It's the same story for a lot of productions - I'm pretty sure that A&E trial documentary also got bumped.

But it hasn't been permanently shelved has it? According to Taj, it's still on.

I would like to believe this will be the MJ documentary to end all documentaries and that it'll be worth the wait, but looking at how timely Square One was put out and what a fantastic job they did, I cant help suspect the length of time this is taking is more down to Taj's relative inexperience/incompetance than anything else.
I'd love to be proven wrong.

He can't interview people in person because of covid. I don't even think he'd started the interviews yet when the pandemic started

It's so frustrating to see Jin struggle for funding while Taj is sitting on a quarter million dollars, apparently doing nothing. Jin has made a lot more progress from the little money he had and he's actually doing the type of documentary we wanted from Taj. But he doesn't have the right last name for fans, I guess.

Has Taj given any updates recently? At the end of last year he very explicitly committed to getting the project finished this year. If so, one would think an announcement should not be too far off at this point of the year...

If so, one would think an announcement should not be too far off at this point of the year... No he hasn't. He was scheduled to give an update last August which he postponed, supposedly because he didn't want to overshadow MJ's birthday celebrations. (LOL). Some time this year he went to a podcast called The Black MJ Estate which his defenders point to him supposedly giving an update, but, frankly we shouldn't sit through 2-3 hours random podcasts just for a small snippet of information from him. He should communicate clearly and directly with his donors. To be honest, I don't believe his project is going anywhere. He probably bit off more than what he can chew. He doesn't seem to have nor the vision, the focus or the talent to do this. Even his updates so far have been cringe. From the childish title, to the rip off "Brace Yourself" trailer etc. It's like a 12 old daydreaming of doing something while he doesn't have that ability to do it. The whole thing looks utterly unprofessional to me. It wouldn't be a problem if he hadn't taken fans' money. But as he did, this is starting to become a bit more than just embarrassing. He's sitting on a quarter of a million dollars. And he acts offended when people are asking him questions. This is not a good look for him at all. If only Jin could have just half of it, we would already have a documentary. And the kind that fans actually tried to support when they donated to Taj, not this fluff piece that Taj seems to have moved towards since.

I feel sorry for anyone who donated a significant amount of money.
Certain Asian fan-groups raised several thousands of dollars.

And now he hardly even communicates. It's hard to trust him at this point.

Funny you say this since Jin recently announced he has to halt production due to a lack of funds... figures the one that actually looks good is being held up. Link to the GoFundMe in case anyone wants to donate or at least have a link to share: www.gofundme.com/f/themjstorydoc
