I as a fan am happy that this will come out - the motives behind it are not right, but I think it would be a shame for all of that work to never be seen. I have seen rehearsal footage for MJ's Dangerous Tour and it is almost like watching the concert. It will let us see what MJ was preparing for his fans. I can't wait to see it.

Hey I just came across this great MJ documentary called “Michael Jackson: the trial and triumph of the king of pop”. It goes in depth into Michael’s trial and debunks the various charges against him and also features interviews with people like Kanye West, Mo’Nique, and Fantasia. Right now it’s available on itunes, amazon vod, and also cable video-on-demand services. It’s really good and shows a very interesting perspective to the trial and Michael as a person. Check it out.

I hate how people do this just to get money. Just like what the did for the 9/11 movies they have to do for the most famous man in the world.

Making it worst getting the man from High school musical to direct.

They might as well call the movie, "Hand over your cash if you like MJ".
