Beyond Thriller: The Shocking Truths We Demand From The New "Michael" Movie by NWO Sparrow
The trailer is out y'all. For two minutes, we saw the flashes of glitter and talent, the promise of a man who defined pop music. The Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled "Michael," is coming in 2026, and like many of you, I felt that old thrill.

It can only tease. And as a fan, as someone who understands that his art and his life were a complex, often painful, symphony, I have a plea for the filmmakers. Do not shy away from the difficult notes. Here are the five eras this movie must explain, not just depict.
