Billboard that a deal between the
Michael Jackson Estate, AEG Live and Sony for a theatrical release of the Michael Jackson rehearsal footage from
the ill-fated This Is It concerts could close today, though there are still some "unsettled terms" that are being negotiated. In fact, the deal is in such flux that it could shift to another studio by the end of the day. According to the source, Sony Music may co-invest with one of the film studios on this release, including Sony Pictures.
The This Is It special has been conceived as a tribute to MJ featuring
Janet,
The Jackson 5, and other major performers. The source says Joe Jackson has been shopping his own Jackson Family special on MJ's birthday on Aug. 29, which neither Janet Jackson nor the Jackson brothers have agreed to.
