King of Pop Coming to Big Screen
On Monday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved a deal between Michael Jackson's estate, concert promoter AEG Live and Columbia Pictures to produce a full-length film featuring the King of Pop's rehearsal footage, as well as exclusive videos shot just days before his death.
According to the contract, the final cut of the PG-rated film must be screened for representatives of his estate no later than Oct. 2 and cannot include material that "presents Michael Jackson in a negative light," Us Weekly reports.
Along with the movie, a full movie soundtrack will be released as well as a director's cut DVD and two special editions of the film, which will debut after the theatrical run.

Sabrina--Since you obviously admire pedophiles and child molesters, I hate to disappoint you by telling you there won't be any child porn scenes in this movie, so you might as well stay home and save your money for the child porn websites that you enjoy so much.

I'm not going to pick a fight with you MJ haters, all im gonna say is that he was never proven to be a child molester. Im a big MJ fan, i dont like to think he was a child molester, but i believe that if he went to jail back in '93, he would still be alive today. he would've gotten released early for good behavior and in like three years from now he would be making music again.
I wish the press would stop talking about him and let the man rest in peace.

MJ was the best of the best!!! He donated millions of dollars to charities. He helped children get liver transplants the list goes on and on. The only reason he was acused of bad things is because he had money and was famous. Leave him rest in peace
I love MJ

Even if Michael was not a child molester, he WAS a drug abuser, why idolize a drug user with a film? Guess his death won't stop his family from making every penny they can off of him! Just like that actor that played the joker ( so significant I cannot even remember his name), they kill themselves with drugs (wether self-administered or not), then everyone wants to make them into some kind of hero. These people are no better than the coke, crack or heroin users, they just use the drugs that can be obtained by a doctor!

Elvis Was a drug user and that hasn't stopped his Family from making MILLIONS from his estate. So why should MJ's be any different. MJ did much more for this world then Elvis could or would have ever done.

I'M STILL PUZZLED BY THE CONNECTION OF DEBBIE ROWE, MICHAEL JACKSON, PHIL ANSCHUTZ, AND MYSELF. OBVIOUSLY, I MUST BE THE ONLY ONE, WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I HAVE TO SAY, MAYBE THEY HAVE FELT, THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD NEVER KNOW THE REAL TRUTH. BUT REALLY, AS SOPHISTICATED AS THE PUBLIC HAS BECOME, WHY KEEP THINGS HIDDEN?

Forgive some of these posters, God, for they know not what they do.
Drug users/abusers should be pitied and helped, not looked down upon. They have an inability to handle stress, either due a brain chemical imbalance they inherited &/OR due to their chilhood environments &/OR daily stress or a series of stressful events in their lives which prove insurmountable -- stress which no human being was designed to have to encounter.
