An accuser's story frames the script for Lionsgate's "Michael" - but according to a Puck report, the filmmakers didn't know the Jackson estate made a deal years ago to exclude him from any movie representation.

The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, Michael , has hit a big roadblock as the production team prepares for extensive reshoots of the film's third act. This is all taking place due to a long-forgotten agreement tied to the Jackson family that’s now come back to haunt the project.

"Michael," starring Jaafar Jackson, faces controversy over its depiction of abuse allegations and a $23 million settlement.
