Naturally, social media erupted with starry-eyed reactions to the long-awaited biopic which trended worldwide in the midst of Grammy night hysteria.
At one point, the film was rumored to be FOUR HOURS long before later being teased as a potential 2-part event.
When asked by an analyst about part two of the film, Lionsgate Motion Picture Chair Adam Fogelson teased that “more Michael” could be announced right after the first film is released, per World of Reel.
“…we’ve had the great pleasure of seeing the director’s cut of the first film, and it is exceptional,” he said on a recent earnings call.
“While we’re not yet ready to confirm plans for a second film, I can tell you that the creative team is hard at work making sure that we’re in a position to deliver more Michael soon after we release the first film.”
