Before Michael Jackson can even melt in his own grave, Hollywood is already focusing on pulling off a movie about his life according to AFP:
A Hollywood movie made using footage of Michael Jackson rehearsing for his planned series of comeback concerts could hit theaters by the end of this year, US media reports have said.
Daily Variety reported that Sony Pictures studio was close to agreeing a 50-million-dollar deal for worldwide rights to nearly 80 hours of footage showing pop icon Jackson rehearsing before his death.
The report said AEG Entertainment, the company which owns the material and had been behind Jackson's proposed series of concerts in London, had screened the footage to Hollywood studio executives last week.

There's absolutely no way I would ever even contemplate watching this movie, and I hope everyone else feels the same way. I wonder if they'll include scenes of MJ with his little boy friends or maybe that'll just be in the unrated edition when it goes to DVD. Might have to pick that up.
