As ‘Michael 2’ Comes Together, Lionsgate Film Chief Confident Studio Can Pull Off Another “Big And Satisfying Movie For A Global Audience”

Lionsgate Studios Motion Picture Chair Adam Fogelson said the company is “really excited about the progress we’re making” on a second Michael film.

“All the conversations that we’ve been having with all of the appropriate parties continue to go exceptionally well, and I would say that there is a ton of incredibly entertaining Michael Jackson story, and much of the biggest and most popular parts of his music catalog that were not touched upon in the first film,” he added on a call with analysts after the company’s quarterly earnings.

“We can go forwards and backwards in telling this story. There are so many other events that happened, even in the time frame of the original movie, that weren’t touched upon. So we’re very, very confident that we’ve got an incredibly entertaining movie that will appeal once again to a global audience as the pieces come together,” he added, responding to a question about the events that would be covered in a second film.
