Michael Jackson's Final Rehearsals to Be Feature Film? at The Insider

Last week AEG Entertainment leaked rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson's "This is It" tour, and now Sony Pictures is working on a deal with the entertainment company to use the footage in a feature film.

Sony Pictures is negotiating with AEG Entertainment to obtain the rights to 80 hours of rehearsal footage film for Jackson's London tour, Variety reports.

'High School Musical' director Kenny Ortega shot the rehearsal footage, and is expected to direct the film which will include three videos along with an alternative version of "Thriller."

According to the trade paper, AEG is also selling the rights to the August 29 tribute concert. Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, and other stars are slated to perform the songs that the King of Pop had planned to sing.

I feel so bad for his kids... now they have to grow up without a dad. I also understand about his being on "drugs" (a.k.a. Medicine)...I didn't know how severely burned he had been from the Pepsi Fire. That is just horrible! And to think he was mocked by Pepsi because of his hair... but Pain killers do contain narcotics... to kill the pain, and unfortunately, do can get addicted to the pain killers. (so far, I've been lucky, I'm not addicted, but I can't live day to day with severe Pain, either, so I need my meds.) As for the movie, I'd like to see him in his rehearsals for the big tour... I loved listening to his songs and seeing him dance... I'm still in shock that he's gone.
