Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson biopic was blindsided by a deal Jackson's estate had made with one of his molestation accusers, forcing reshoots.

Lionsgate has extended its multi-year theatrical output deal with Starz as the two studios prepare for full separation.

Lionsgate and Starz are about to be split from each other, but the entities have extended their exclusive theatrical output deal.

Antoine Fuqua's 'Michael' is said to be facing reshoots due to an extremely costly oversight involving one of Jackson's high-profile court cases.

A long-forgotten contract with one of the children who accused of the singer of sexual abuse is forcing filmmakers to revise the biopic's final act, per a report.

As it turns out, the Michael Jackson estate made an agreement with the Chandler family to never “dramatize” those events. The Lionsgate film slated for release on October 3rd apparently does just that, and in the following manner that’s cited in the report:

Directed by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day," "The Equalizer" films) with a script by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan, "Michael" tells the story of the late superstar, who died in 2009 at the age of 50 as a result of acute propofol intoxication.

But apparently, the Antoine Fuqua biopic had every intention of addressing the allegations and its approach has landed the team in hot water. This is per a new report from Matthew Belloni’s newsletter Puck,
