What happened, as far as I know, is this: as it is right now, the movie ends with Michael Jackson going on to the height of his fame some time in the late 1980s. Originally, the movie was to include much more, including later aspects of his life. However, since there’s been so much controversy now about the second half of Michal Jackson’s life, and because the way some events were originally portrayed they might go against non-disclosure agreements between various parties and all kinds of legalities, the filmmakers did considerable re-writes and re-shoots, to let the movie end the way it ends now. A lot of already shot film is basically scrapped. Director Antoine Fuqua has stated that he might consider re-purposing the shot material for a part two, but because of all the possible legal issues involved, don’t hold your breath for the sequel to appear.
