EXCLUSIVE: Sources are telling us that Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, from Lionsgate, with a near four-hour cut, could be split into two movies. That’s an option on the table, and not a definite at this time.

Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael,” may be split into two movies. As a result, the Lionsgate and Universal Pictures International project will likely push its current Oct. 3 release date.

Producer Graham King is mulling a new reality for the project, but the idea is in early stages and would require sign-off from multiple partners, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
