Lionsgate is moving forward with a sequel to its recent Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael,” despite the controversies that accompanied the first film. Adam Fogelson, the studio’s motion picture chair, revealed in a quarterly earnings call that preparations for a follow-up are progressing very well, with an estimated 25 to 30 percent of footage already captured.
Fogelson stated that there remains “a ton of incredibly entertaining story” yet to be told about the iconic artist. This unreleased material may even incorporate unused footage that was originally shot for the first film.
