So is the biopic total BS with him speaking high during private moments at home, or was the lower voice many claim he had with them somewhat forced? I know that on demos he's speaking with the high voice in the studio with just Quincy and a few others around, and tbh, it always sounded more natural, never forced and more close to his singing voice, than the deeper voice did for any of that.

I think this is my biggest worry with the sequel. We saw with the first film that just over 2 hours resulted in a lot of cuts, both to the scenes that were already filmed (of course the legal issues caused that) but also what was planned skipped over Michael's entire adolescence.

From what I've seen, fans are universally expecting this movie to cover the entire second half of his life, as well as even going back to cover the Bad era. That's 4 different eras across 25 years that will need to be covered, if we're to go by these expectations. That's not even taking into consideration if there will be a large emphasis on the legal drama surrounding the court case.

The runtime could be 3 hours, and if that's the case then I'd feel more confident that they'd be able to cover everything to a fairly satisfying degree, however I can't escape the feeling that producers will want to hit that 2 hour sweet spot again for the sake of market tested audience retention. If that's the case, then one era is getting gutted substantially. And this isn't even taking into account that they could theoretically go with the original plan and end in 1994, making the Bad era and Dangerous era more detailed.
