Wasn't it an April 1 joke by a fan? Bit late for that? I mean on April 1. I remember someone making a joke that they announced Debbie will be played by a certain actress who looked way too hot to play Debbie. But I don't remember if this was that actress or someone else. This thing shows up only when you Google "Michael bipoc cast" and they list Teresa Palmer there as Debbie Rowe. It must be a mistake. There's no other source claiming this, no announcement, nothing. Them having Debbie played by a hot actress would make me worried for history revisionism. As if they are trying to sell it as a true romance or something. I hope it's not that.

But considering the story they're dealing with here, it'd he nice if they did a credible job at all the casting, as beautifying the cast just makes it look like a Hollywood fairytale, not an accurate depiction of true life events. It would only serve to undermine the important aspects of the storytelling.

I agree, Debbie was not ugly in her younger years. Despite what people think of their relationship, she knew him much longer than Lisa Marie. Him and Debbie were friends at one point. By Lisa’s own admission, she had no interest in meeting Michael because she thought he was weird.
It’s unfortunate that Michael couldn’t find someone suitable to marry.

So I saw Wrestlemania 41 is going to Las Vegas next year, and I got excited because my plan was to go to it if it was in Vegas.
But then I saw the dates it's being held: April 19th and April 20th. And the biopic is scheduled to come out April 18th.
Dammit, lol.

I'm not sure how much MJ and Debbie were really friends. People throw the word "friend" around way too easily. They knew each other because Debbie was Klein's assistant. And Debbie was handsomely paid for the children. She later on used the kids to blackmail more money out of MJ by threatening to take them away from him. Those are not the actions of a friend to me. I already side eye Debbie for inserting herself into the situation when MJ and Lisa's marriage was on the rocks. And now in the hindsight she cries about it on TMZ... I don't know what point you are trying to make with Lisa not wanting to meet MJ before they did? She didn't know him at the time. Why should she have run to meet a guy who asks to meet her while she's engaged or married to another guy? I don't think MJ took it as an offense considering he later did marry her. If anything MJ probably liked women who weren't impressed by just who he was as a superstar.

Jaafar looks the part, but why aren't they showing anything post-80s? I want to see how he is as 90s MJ.

They will have to do a lot of filming around when they are allowed to access certain locations. They could spend the last month shooting entirely 90’s scenes. Depends on the logistics and the availability of other cast members etc.

Even the 80’s footage -Michael- will look a lot different after post production and other elements are added and removed, plus colour grading. What we’ve seen so far looks wonderful. I don’t know why I’m surprised? It’s their job lol.

I don’t think they’ll go over the top with CGI on Michael, but possibly some subtle changes to enhance the overall look? I’m guessing.
I think Jaafar looks good though. This isn’t Michael. It’s another person playing Michael. We have to remember this also.
