Throughout the first half of 1993, Chandler and his family are frequent guests of Jackson’s - spending time at Neverland, going to Disneyland together, taking a private trip to a closed Toys “R” Us. March 28, 1993: Jackson and Chandler reportedly share a bed for the first time During the family’s first visit, the three of them sleep in the guesthouse. Eventually, Chandler is invited to Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, along with his mother and half-sister. Jackson leaves with the family’s phone number.Įarly 1993: Chandler and his family are invited to sleep at Neverland Ranchįollowing their initial meeting, Jackson and the Chandler boy develop a close friendship, talking on the phone regularly. The boy, Jordan Chandler, is a fan of the King of Pop, and had sent him a letter years earlier. As reported in a 1994 Vanity Fair feature, once the owner of the business realizes he’s assisting one of the biggest stars in entertainment, he contacts his wife, June Chandler Schwartz, and tells her to bring their 6-year-old daughter and her 12-year-old son from a previous marriage to meet Jackson. May 1992: Michael Jackson meets 12-year-old Jordan ChandlerĪfter his car breaks down in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson enlists the services of a local rental-car agency. To help make sense of it all, we’ve assembled a thorough timeline of the various abuse allegations against Jackson.
In the time since then, there have been other allegations, settlements, an infamous documentary, a criminal trial, and a number of lawsuits. For the past 25 years, the once-unstoppable star has been associated with allegations of molestation, dating back to a 1993 police investigation and civil lawsuit. While Reed might be correct that audiences have never seen an account of Jackson’s alleged abuses that’s this vivid or upsetting, this isn’t the first time that Jackson’s name has been linked to such accusations. “I think what we’ve done is extraordinary and unique, and it’s never been done before.” “I’m kind of astonished this film hasn’t been made before,” Reed told Vulture after the doc debuted at January’s Sundance Film Festival. Director Dan Reed’s film centers on extensive interviews with Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two men who became friends with Jackson when they were children, and who say that the late pop star molested them for years. On March 3, HBO will begin airing Leaving Neverland, a two-part, four-hour documentary that examines, in great detail, allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Jackson. An very interesting and disturbing flick that probably sold itself wrong.Photo: Kevin Winter/The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images There are also disturbing lessons on the nature OF survival,too. A friend of mine told me that this movie's running zombies was what inspired the zombies in the remake of "Dawn of the Dead",but where "Dawn of." was pretty much a full-throttle action/horror hybrid from about start to finish,this film plays more like a "What if." movie,with less emphasis on the creatures themselves and more on the (lucky?) survivors.
This film feels more like a meditation on what happens to people when they are reduced to their lowest elements.
A recorded message of a "paradise" where "salvation" can be found is tracked by Frank(the man) on his shortwave radio. From there,he also meets a man and his daughter(Brendan Gleeson,terrific,and Megan Burns,good)and they try to find a refuge out of London-town. As he searches London for signs of life,he is rescued from raging zombies by a couple of survivalists(one of them,the lovely Naomie Harris)who he follows from place to place to keep alive. The 28 Days later of the title cuts to a mostly abandoned London where a coma-tized bicycle courier named Jim(Cillian Murphy,effective) wakes from his stasis to find himself alone in a hospital. When environmental terrorists attack a lab that contains diseased chimps who are infected with a "Rage" virus, they unwittingly let loose a plague that lays waste to England and(perhaps)the rest of society. I didn't get around to seeing it until a few days ago and I gotta feel like that was somewhat of an embellishment on the promoters' part. The 2003 State-side release of Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later" was advertised as being a shockful scare-fest of a movie.
