I hope that works, I don't know how to post links in here.  But it seems to be telling us the entire time not to expect the shows to even happen, and this was at the end of May.  So maybe this really did happen and this is why he decided to do the movie and that's why the rehearsal footage is so limited.  This would explain the lack of different outfits and such.  It's just a thought.  I'm not saying these people knew of the hoax, I'm saying Michael really wasn't ready to do this and realized he would have a difficult time doing the shows and decided this would be the next best thing.  He would have only had to do the death hoax to avoid the lawsuits from the O2.  

Ugh it's so late here, I just watched TII for the 40th time and am really just hoping that all of this isn't for nothing, and we don't find out for real that the death was legit.  I just can't take it.  I've been reading and reading and just keep hoping it's a hoax and that he'll come back soon.  I really just wish something would happen =[ He should come back on monday, it's my bday ha.

Yes, interesting if true. Michael was only two days rehearsal  :shock:
But Jermaine said: "Michael was very very healthy" and in that text, while MJ health reasons, if the concerts will never happen. Yes, The film was a way out

happy birthday!!!!
 i know the feeling. i don't think the concert was ever going to happen. i think the movie IS the concert. keep the faith. there are too many inconsistencies for this not to be a hoax. nothing FITS.

So Michael was there for two days rehearsal - I am thinking orange and gold pants - where he is not yet up to the mark and so looks spaced out.

Then again he was there for two days dress rehearsal on 23 and 24 June where he had the black pants with the stain and the red shirt etc.

But Michael was around for singing rehearsals on 18 June at The Forum, where the dancers were not practising so the other part of the footage is from there.

5 days * 10 hours * 2 cameras = 100 hours of footage.

Just wondering - if this was really a movie - would he have put in such little time to make it work?

Strangely 23 May - 45 days is April 9th - first day of audition.

Maybe he had everything planned from the start. Who knows.

Thank you.  I really don't know if the movie was the plan all along or what.  That's the feeling I get, but I just don't know.  It's so crazy.
