With these changes, the film now leans more toward showing Jackson at the peak of his career, rather than ending on one of the most controversial chapters of his life.

I don’t understand. Are they saying the filmmakers were party to that settlement? Because if not, how can they possibly be bound by a settlement between two other parties?
Probably the Jackson estate sold the film rights to the filmmakers and later realized that they legally would have been liable for that.
Thanks, that makes sense
The estate is bound and any movie has to go through the estate (exceptions not included), therefore it is liable if any movie does so with its consent.
Ah, it’s an “authorized” biopic, then? Thus they have to abide by the estate’s terms.
