Michael Jackson Biopic in the Works

Michael Jackson’s estate is looking to bring his life to the big screen. With Dr. Conrad Murray ‘s involuntary manslaughter conviction in the past, MJ’s executors have approached Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock’s Montecito Picture Company about the possibility of producing and financing a Jackson biopic. The project would only cover certain periods of the late singer’s life. Pollock confirmed that the two sides are engaged in early talks but cautioned that there is no deal in place . A spokesman for Jackson’s estate had no comment. The estate is currently focused on Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, so there is no rush to get the potential movie into production. However, the fact that the estate is keen to pay tribute to the greatest entertainer of our time on the big screen should have Hollywood agents salivating. Who do you think could play Michael Jackson on film?

The petulant child needed to be told by mentor L.A. Reid that he needed to sing/rap for his X Factor life before he actually did so… and then he proceeded to sulk his way through a rendition of “Never Say Goodbye.” Still, because this now creates buzz and much-needed drama for a show still struggling in the ratings, the judges voted to send Francis home and keep Astro around. Simon Cowell did give him a nice scolding at least. It was disgraceful all around. Do you think the right contestant was eliminated?
