A report says the upcoming biopic on Michael Jackson underwent major re-shoots after scenes featuring child molestation accusations had to be cut.
Variety reports lawyers for Jackson’s estate found a clause in a settlement with accuser Jordan Chandler that didn’t allow a mention or depiction of him in a movie. The scenes that were cut take place in 1993 when Jackson was accused of child molestation and featured investigators searching Neverland Ranch for evidence. This caused for there to be re-shoots to film a new third act that cost the Jackson estate an extra 15-million-dollars on top of the 155-million-dollar original budget.
“Michael” hits theaters on April 18th.
