Michael Jackson’s family has reservations about the upcoming planned ‘This Is It’ film
They have been expressing fears that the new ‘This Is It’ movie will end up being a propaganda movie for the concert promoters AEG.
People who have talked with the family report that they are concerned that the movie’s edit will give the impression that Jackson was fit enough for his 50-date tour.
The film is due out at the end of October after originally receiving the green light from a judge linked with Jackson’s estate.
The film was put together using 100′s of hours of rehearsal footage shot in Los Angeles in the months leading up to Jackson’s death and is directed by the tour director, Kenny Ortega.
Sawf news recently reported that the family are of the opinion that the movie only includes the best clips from Michael jackson’s pre-tour final rehearsals.
“He supposedly looks fit, together and excited,” an insider is reported to have said.
The family aren’t able to speak out openly because some of the proceeds will be being paid into the trust, but in private, they are concerned that the movie is a kind of propaganda to support AEG’s argument that Michael was healthy and wasn’t in fact being exploited while he was alive. The film is set to be a massive money maker and the question still remains, is he being exploited even now?
On the other hand Steve Elzer of Sony is reported by Sawf news, to have commented that concerns about any editing of the movie made “no sense and don’t deserve comment”.
