Photograph from This Is It - Double?

[Serenitys_Dream]

I never, ever thought I would be starting a thread in this section but here I find myself.  :lol:
Not sure if this has been posted before but if it has, just delete the thread please.

I do not believe that Michael has a twin or a doppleganger living his life nor do I believe that the main performances, in the movie TII, are doubles. Having said that, I have been looking at some of the photographs, I have saved on my computer and so far I have found two that are odd.

Look at this picture of Michael. Notice anything odd?



There are TWO people wearing the same jacket.



Now look at this picture...



That doesn`t look like Michael to me. What do you guys think?



He looks heavier to me and his face...





And seriously what`s up with that ear. Is it some kind of prosthetic?
I mean it`s huge and strange looking.  
:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

The first one looks to be part of a series/collage of images as it looks like a photohop of several shots of that scene put into one, just looks at the visible effects on the image.

The second one isn't that clear to make a proper analysis

[Serenitys_Dream]

The photos came from mjjpictures.com before they went on hiatus so why would they be making a collage?

The second one the nose is different than in the first one and seriously what is going on with that ear?

I can`t help it here I am laughing so hard.  :lol:

Not sure, but I'd say the ear has an earpiece in it that makes it look kinda odd and stretched out..but at the same time, who knows.

This has always been a "touchy" subject , as fans don't want to feel cheated by Mike.....

There are obviously doubles of some nature in the film, and I read there was to be about 20 look-a-likes ready to step in for Mike, as he prepared his illusions.

Serenity, I do think there are doubles in TII....possibly added to the footage to make it a story.....parts that MJ wasn't available for, as he was planning his great escape.

I don't believe in the twin/doppleganger thing either...no disrespect at all to anyone who does.

The first photo IS a collage type pic though. I've seen it in full--and you see MJ in full on both sides and it's the same person. If I come across it again I'll post it. The one you have there isn't the full photo.

The other image I have always wondered about. I do agree that it's odd, but that's about as far as I go with it.

ok thank you for the info on the first picture.

[Christiana]

Found it.

If I remember correctly, that is Michael and his image on the screen behind him. They may have paused the video feed or something so that is why there are two different poses, but there are many more pics with him and his image on the big screen with the door cutout

[Serenitys_Dream]

I am actually wondering more about the second photograph actually, the first has already been shown to be a collage of some sort.

Just my leanings, although I could be wrong, I have wondered about that pic before too, and I think it's still MJ but there's a lot of interfering things going on. There's extra shadows from wavy strands of hair, wires from ear pieces and mike, and sunglasses; and he's grimmacing in one of his contorted expressions.

I started laughing too when I saw that second photo.  It does look hecka strange.  No disrespect but it did make me laugh.

He looks like O2-"MJ"... :?

He doesn`t look like the 02 Michael to me. The forehead looks different, the nose is not the same and TII guy doesn`t seem to have a cleft (might be the angle though).

Yes. I always believed that was a shopped pic. How are the sunglasses being hold?
Also, the whole face looks like if would be a rubber mask.
And part of the mike fushions with the cheek.
