January 18 : Michael Jackson Biopic in the Works From Antoine Fuqua, Lionsgate
Michael Jackson is getting the biopic treatment. Lionsgate and director Antoine Fuqua are taking on the musician’s life in a film titled Michael, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Graham King, a seasoned hand at biopics with the Oscar-winning Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody under his belt, is producing along with John Branca and John McClain, who are the co-executors of the Michael Jackson estate. John Logan, who penned Gladiator and The Aviator, wrote the script.
“The first films of my career were music videos, and I still feel that combining film and music are a deep part of who I am,” said Fuqua in a statement. “For me, there is no artist with the power, the charisma, and the sheer musical genius of Michael Jackson. I was influenced to make music videos by watching his work — the first Black artist to play in heavy rotation on MTV. His music and those images are part of my worldview, and the chance to tell his story on the screen alongside his music was irresistible.”
January 25 : Janet posts a selfie on Instagram with Dean (they are in London) and Gil (in Zoom) : “First official creative meeting for #togetheragaintour”.
January 30 : Jaafar Jackson to play Michael in the upcoming Biopic.

Prince Jackson on Instagram : “My cousin @jaafarjackson is going to be playing my father in the upcoming biopic produced by @gkfilms and directed by @antoinefuqua! Truthfully I couldn’t be happier and prouder for him, he’s been working his ass off and I know he’s going to do an amazing job. Just being himself, he embodies so much of my dad and I’m confident we are all going to do our best to show the world a part of my father they’ve never seen and that they deserve to see. To all of my family’s fans and supporters out there thank you for your continued support and love. We all know my father and Jaafar’s uncle was such an incredible human being and everyone at @gkfilms is dedicated and excited to bring my father’s story to the big screen. This project means so much to me for many reasons, I’m really happy that my family and I can go on this journey together. @jaafarjackson i know you’re going to be great bro and again I couldn’t be prouder and happier for you cuz. @jourdynnjackson with the to start us off”.

March 06 : Michael Jackson biopic to spend a record $120 million in California under state tax credit program
A Lionsgate Entertainment film about the life of singer Michael Jackson is on track to break records for spending under California’s film tax credit program. The movie known as “Michael” — directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson — is projected to spend $120 million on crew wages and vendors, according to the California Film Commission, which administers the state’s film and TV tax credit program.

The court documents are sealed and non of us know what this is about but speculations point out to the selling of Michael’s catalogue. Last month, Katherine Jackson filled an objection to the transaction in question. Now the Estate led by John Branca, is asking the court to dismiss Katherine’s objections to the proposed transaction and to move forward with the deal in question. In their motion, the estate lays out how they turned Michael’s estate around. Branca and McClain said when they took over the pop star was drowning in debt. The estate said none of Michael’s children have raised issues with the deal. The executors argue Katherine should not be allowed to prevent the three beneficiaries from benefiting from the deal and they said that Katherine’s objections are “misplaced”.

The dispute between the Michael Jackson Estate and Katherine Jackson regarding a secret deal is still on going. New court documents revealed that the Estate is fearing the legal opposition from Katherine Jackson might jeopardise the deal. “Given the amount of time that an appeal will take, almost certainly more than a year, it is unlikely that this deal will be on the table for the Executors to accept at the conclusion of appellate proceedings, Offer of this magnitude are not typically left open for months or years at a time, with no certainty that they will ever close. This is particularly true here since the economics of the deal necessarily change with the passage of time.”The filing noted that one family member’s objection is not that the deal is bad but rather the family member does not want to proceed with any such transaction of the kind. It seems that the whole secret deal is about the selling of Michael Jackson own music catalog. Both McClain and Branca claimed in court that the loss could be greater than $400 Million! The judge still have to take a decision on the matter.

June 27 : Wade Robson’s case to go on trial
The California Court of Appeal just cleared the way for Robson to make his case in court. The trial court favoured the Estate’s argument, but the Court of Appeal begged to differ, and according to a tentative ruling the case will be sent back down for trial. Robson sued the MJ corporation in 2013 and The California Court of Appeal has reversed the 2021 decision dismissing his case. The case was originally dismissed in 2017 after a judge found it was filed past the statute of limitations. However, a new law extending the time for child victims to file legal claims revived the case in 2019. Then, in 2021, the judge ruled that Michael’s company had no legal duty to protect Robson from any alleged harm.

He claimed, “had the Estate simply asked for the property and not resorted to the premeditated set-up and bullying tactics, I would have called La Toya to inform her that the Estate was requesting the items, and the two of us would have then called her mother. If Ms. Jackson instructed me to give the property back to the Estate, I would have done so.”

Phillips has requested the sheduled trial date of September 6, 2023 to be pushed by 6 months as his lawyer still wants to depose Michael’s 93 year old mother Katherine along with the two co-executors of the Estate, John McClain and John Branca.
Phillips also said that he had to change lawyer and this new lawyer needs more time to catch up on the case. He even said that the extra time would allow the parties to continue settlement discussions.

Taj Jackson : “This docuseries WILL clear Michael Jackson’s name once and for all. That has always and will always be its main purpose and focus. It will tackle the topics and crap that those of us who defend Michael daily have to deal with. The series will finally educate the uninformed/ill-informed public. That being said, It is equally important to also humanize Michael Jackson and show him as a real person and human being. Otherwise the general public won’t bother empathizing or sympathizing with him. I need them to feel all the horrors he was put through. It still amazes me to this day how strong my uncle was.
Although the last 4 years have taken its toll both mentally and physically, I will NEVER EVER stop fighting for my uncle. This docuseries is the top priority for me.
And for those of you who have fought right there alongside me on the front lines … I am eternally grateful. We have held each other up.
Last but not least… I truly appreciate all the love, support and confidence you guys have continuesly shown me. Together we can and will Right HIStory. That is a promise.”
October 05 : After a long and public exposure of the lawsuit between Jeffree Phillips and the Estate of Michael Jackson, both came to settlement.
“The litigation between the Estate of Michael Jackson and Jeffré Phillips has been amicably resolved without the need for a trial and without any findings or admissions of wrongdoing. Mr. Phillips has voluntarily returned Michael Jackson’s property to the Estate. All outstanding disputes between the parties have been settled on confidential terms. We wish Mr. Phillips well in his future endeavors. ” said Jonathan Steinsapir, counsel for the Co-Executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson’s estate is no longer arguing with Jeffree who allegedly stole $1 million worth of MJ property from Michael’s Carolwood estate. The parties just told the court there’s a settlement.
According to new legal documents, Michael’s estate settled its legal dispute with Jeffré Phillips, who was accused of taking tons of Michael’s belongings in 2009, after the singer died.It is unknown if the pressure to make Katherine and LaToya Jackson testifying in this case has a play into the settlement.
The terms of the settlement are confidential, though it’s worth noting the Estate had been asking the judge to help return the property.

All it really does is frustrate you guys and keep you totally in the dark with questions and no answers. Another alternative is me considering the open and transparent angle. This would be pretty new to me regarding this project, but I am willing to entertain that idea now.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts or concerns about either route.
If the open and transparent angle route is the right way to go for most of you, we can start early 2024 off that way. After all, this is not just my project, this is OUR project.
We have been on this MJ battlefield fighting together and have the permanent battle scars to prove it. And while others might now feel safe enough to swoop in to reap all the rewards from OUR wins and efforts.. I will continue to remind them that WE were the ones on those front lines, not them. That is why you guys will always have my gratitude and respect.”

December 30 : According to court documents, Katherine Jackson, 93, is demanding the Michael Jackson Estate to pay $561,548 for her legal fees, fighting against the secret deal the Estate is planning. While her appeal is still ongoing in court, Katherine Jackson stated that the Estate was responsible for reimbursing her legal fees. Katherine said her law firm had to interview family members, gather documents, prepare exhibits for trial, prepare trial briefs, prepare witnesses, examine and cross-examine witnesses, and various other tasks. She said from April 1, 2023, to November 30, 2023, the law firm billed her $561,548.48 for a portion of the appeal work. Katherine argued that the estate is solvent and has “ample resources and much more than will be necessary to pay its anticipated expenses.” The executors have yet to respond on that matter and the court has still to take a decision on Katherine’s appeal against the processing of the secret deal.
