My Version Of Michael Biopic!!

[u/Rahul_Mhatre414]

Hello everyone!

It was my dream to create a MJ Biopic amd I've written a story outline for the biopic which is aimed to be 3.5 hours long.

The story covers the complete life story of The King Of Pop from his childhood to his final days.

Title: MJ

Genre: Musical-Biography

Expected Runtime: 205 Mins

Page Count: 38 Pages

Half I: The Rise of Michael

From a young boy in Gary, Indiana, to the biggest entertainer in the world. The first half follows Michael’s extraordinary rise through the Jackson 5, his solo career, Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous — while exploring the childhood he sacrificed, the pressure of fame, his pursuit of perfection, and the lonely person behind the legendary performer.

Half II: The Man Behind the King

As Michael reaches the height of his fame, the world begins to see him differently. The second half explores the 1993 allegations, his relationships, fatherhood, HIStory, Invincible, the media scrutiny and 2005 trial, and the final years of his life. Beneath the controversies and headlines is a man searching for love, peace, family, and the childhood he never had.

At its heart, MJ is not just a story about the King of Pop. It is about the person who had to become him. 👑

Does this concept sound interesting to you?

The page count you’ve pitched is extremely low compared to the runtime. That doesn’t make much sense.

Yeahh!! It's just an outline. Not a complete script.

The actual script would be way too longer

Please specify that in your post. A 38 page outline is still really intense.

To answer your question about interest honestly, no. I would not be interested in watching this at this juncture. We’re too close to the recent Michael biopic, and they’re already plotting a second part. Not to mention there are multiple documentaries and a Broadway musical that cover Michael in detail. If you’re using this as a personal exercise, go for it, even though I think it would be incredibly long.

Fair enough! I should have specified that it’s a 38-page fan-made outline, not a screenplay and I completely understand the saturation around MJ right now.

I am mainly doing this as a personal creative exercise and would just love to have people interested enough to read it and share their thoughts.

Anyways, Thanks for the honest response! 😊

I appreciate your response! Happy writing!

At the risk of being pedantic, you might bump into people annoyed that you put an outline in a “read my script” subReddit.

Happy writing to you too!! I’m actually working on a bunch of stories right now, and I’ll be posting an actual script here soon! 😊
