The Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" faces significant reshoots due to an overlooked agreement with the Jackson family regarding the portrayal of Jordan Chandler's molestation claim. The film's third act focuses on the 1993 investigation, depicting Jackson as innocent in the face of false accusations. The Jackson family had signed an agreement to never include them in a movie about the artist's life, complicating the narrative. The film's creative team is now scrambling to rectify the situation, with the possibility of Lionsgate deciding whether to proceed with reshoots or abandon the project altogether.
