A Los Angeles superior court Judge, Mitchell Beckloff, earlier today gave the nod to a $60 million movie deal which would allow Columbia Pictures to use video of Michael Jackson rehearsing for his “This Is It” concerts in London, which ought to have taken place in July.
The movie, “This Is It”, not only will feature the King of Pop’s last rehearsals, but as well, behind-the scenes footage. It will be shown in high definition and some will be shown in 3-D.
The release date for the movie, “This Is It”, is planned at the end of October. In addition, AEG Live, the promoters of the King of Pop’s concert, also won approval for the re-issuance of the singer’s autobiography “Moonwalk” also planned for October, later this year.
The Judge also approval several other business deals involving the pop singer’s estate.
Meanwhile, there is speculation that Jackson’s body has now been interred at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles, although these reports have not been confirmed.
Jackson died suddenly on June 25th and it is believe that his death was precipitated by the powerful anesthetic, propofol, which the singer used to induce sleep.
Media outlet are reporting that although the toxicology results as to the cause of the singer’s death are completed, they are being held back until the LAPD concludes its investigation.
Jackson’s cardiologist, Dr. Conrad Murray was with the singer at his home in L.A., when he expired.
