Michael Jackson Hollywood movie reported in the works via SABCNewsOnline
The movie is expected to span Jackson's journey from child star to global icon that ended when he died in 2009
Deadline, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter said producer Graham King had secured the rights, including music, from Jackson’s estate to make a feature film about the life of the “Thriller” singer, whose legacy has been tarnished by allegations of child sex abuse. Deadline, citing unnamed sources, said the film “isn’t intended to be a sanitized rendering” of Jackson’s life.Jackson was tried and acquitted in 2005 on charges of molesting a 13-year-old boy. In 1994, he settled a sexual abuse civil lawsuit concerning another 13-year-old boy.
Jackson’s family attacked the documentary and his estate denounced it as a “rehash of dated and discredited allegations.”
