A Michael Jackson movie could hit theaters by the end of 2009. Rumor is Sony Pictures is willing to pay the 50-million dollar deal for worldwide rights. AEG Entertainment, the company who owns the 80-hour material showing Michael Jackson rehearsing for his planned series of comeback concerts, had previewed the footage to different Hollywood studios. The television rights are up for bidding at $10 million.
Kenny Ortega, the choreographer for the King of Pop’s “This Is It” concerts might direct the movie. He is also famed for the hit film, “High School Musical.”
We’ve seen a few clips of the rehearsal footages but that’s only a morsel compared to what AEG has in their possession. The footage released last July 2 showed the international pop superstar practicing a song-and-dance routine at Los Angeles’s Staples Center two days before his death. The footage shows that Jackson had been in good health prior to the day he died.

Jackson was found barely breathing on June 25 at his rented Los Angeles mansion. A final cause of death has not been revealed as coroners await the results of toxicology tests.

Michael Jackson’s Doctor Investigated
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and LAPD detectives searched the residence and office of Conrad Murray, each location a week apart. Murray is Michael Jackson’s doctor who is believed to have given Jackson a lethal dose of anesthetic Propofol.
Propofol is used to induce unconsciousness in patients ahead of major surgery. In hospitals, only a trained anesthesiologist is allowed to administer the drug under strict monitoring conditions.
TMZ.com reported that Murray had told police in an interview he gave Jackson Propofol via an intravenous drip. The website reported police believe Murray may have fallen asleep while the drug was being administered, and awoke to find the singer already dead.
If Murray did inject Jackson with Propofol negligently, he can be charged with homicide.
The federal agents and police came to his office a week earlier with a search warrant seeking evidence for the “offense of manslaughter”
The LA Coroner’s office reported that the toxicology result is due by the end of this week.
