vpez 1,250 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 she could definitely pull this off, but I think we're over the time where we cast a cis woman to play a cis man. trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken but you can still see the crack in that ************s reflection.

I don't really know if it happens a lot in movies, but I think it's quite common in theater if I remember correctly.

OMonster 14,675 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 All jokes aside, it will be really interesting to see who is actually cast to play Michael. I've seen it speculated that Bruno Mars could be in the running for the role, which would be crazy. I think the casting will depend on the scope of the film. If it spans his life post-90s, they might even need two actors to play Michael because of his skin condition - one black actor, one white actor. But I can imagine casting a white actor would cause a lot of controversy, even if Michael did 'look' white in his last two decades. I guess they could lighten the skin of a black actor but that, too, has difficult implications that I can't imagine any film studio would really want to indulge. The solution will probably be to stop the film prior to the whitening of Michael's skin... but that then leaves a huge gaping hole in the film in that it would never recognise or tackle the child sexual assault claims, which again, I don't think any film studio would risk in 2022. Can you imagine the outrage if an MJ film doesn't include that? Tricky.

The biopic has been (very briefly) mentioned in the MJ fan base thread. I don't know how I feel about it yet, just because I think Michael is a very difficult person to cast for various reasons. As long as they do this sensitively and with lots of research then I'm interested. I'll wait to hear more. she/her 👹🖤 | Vanish Into You 🎶 HMHAS 🎶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
