A Complete Timeline of the Drama Surrounding ‘Michael’ Movie

A Complete Timeline of the Drama Surrounding ‘Michael’ Movie

Published by Sam Flores

The road to Michael (2026), the long-anticipated biopic about controversial superstar Michael Jackson, has been nearly as dramatic as the life of its subject. A combination of external pressures and mishaps—from the involvement of the Michael Jackson estate to legal restrictions that came into play only after production was complete—reshaped the film, leading to delays, expensive reshoots, and a completely rewritten third act. On top of that, intra-Jackson family turmoil may have added to the drama surrounding what was initially meant to be the definitive, “unflinching” portrait of the troubled icon. Here’s a breakdown of the very fraught making of Michael. November 2019: Graham King—the British producer behind Martin Scorsese films like The Aviator (2004) and The Departed (2006) as well as Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)—secures the rights from the Jackson estate to make a film about Michael Jackson with screenwriter John Logan attached. In one year, the producer moves from Queen to the King of Pop. February 2022: Lionsgate announces its plans to distribute King’s Michael Jackson biopic. January 2023: Antoine Fuqua, the critically acclaimed …

GTA games in order | Release and story timeline

Published by Daniella Wilson

With Grand Theft Auto 6 set to (hopefully) launch later this year and take us back to Vice City, we thought it prudent to go all the way back to 1997 to see where it all began, and make our way through the GTA games in order, by release and story timeline. Just about every title in the long-running series has shaken up the games industry, changing it forever, and GTA was one of the earliest series to break containment and enter the public consciousness, making headlines across the world, good and bad. From its humble 2.5D beginnings to the cutting edge of rendering tech, GTA has long been at the forefront of many gamers’ minds, setting sales records that are yet to be broken, even by other Rockstar titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2. The GTA timeline isn’t quite so clear-cut, however, as there are distinct eras that the games are set in, and the appearance of a character from Vice City in GTA 6, but being a similar age, points to a …

Trump Offers No Timeline Or Path Forward In Meandering Iran War Address

Trump Offers No Timeline Or Path Forward In Meandering Iran War Address

Published by Sam Flores

In his first major speech about the war against Iran he began without consulting allies and without the consent of Congress, President Donald Trump offered no new timeline or plan for how the war will end and instead repeated recent talking points, including threats of war crimes and an assertion that the critical Strait of Hormuz would “naturally” open by itself soon. In a rare prime-time address to the nation, Trump did not provide any hints as to how he might bring the tens of thousands of deployed service members home without leaving Iran in charge of the strait that normally sees a fifth of all the world’s oil pass through it. Instead, he ran through the destruction he has already wreaked on Iran and how much worse he will make things for its citizens. “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants, very hard and probably simultaneously,” Trump said. Destroying a country’s electrical infrastructure, critical to civilian life, is generally considered a violation …
