"The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic once promised an 'unbiased' look at the King of Pop's life - until a reported series of costly reshoots completely cut the child abuse allegations against the singer from the film."
"Sources with knowledge of the production told the publication that all references to the allegations of child molestation against Jackson were scrapped."
"The movie's release was delayed while the filmmakers came up with a new ending, with 22 days of additional shoots taking place last summer."
The Michael Jackson biopic, directed by Antoine Fuqua, initially aimed for an unbiased portrayal of Jackson's life but has removed references to child abuse allegations. The film covers Jackson's early years with the Jackson 5 and his solo career, but key scenes depicting the impact of the abuse allegations were cut. The final version concludes with Jackson's peak during the Bad tour. The production faced delays and additional costs, estimated between $10 million and $15 million, raising the total budget to approximately $155 million.
