Studio chairman Adam Fogelson recently provided an update on the project, indicating that the studio is aiming to begin production as early as the end of this year. He noted that they are targeting a production start towards the end of this year or early next. Utilizing Previously Filmed FootageOne advantage for the production of Michael 2 is the availability of existing footage. Fogelson emphasized that the goal is to deliver the biggest and best sequel possible at the right price. Context Behind the Sequel DevelopmentThe first film concluded its narrative in 1988, though early versions of the project covered a much longer timeline.
