Michael Jackson's Final Rehearsals Will Be Released

Sony Pictures Entertainment has confirmed it will piece together parts of the hours of footage from the late Michael Jackson rehearsing for his sold-out ‘This Is It’ London tour.

The film will share its name with the never-performed shows and will feature 3D segments, behind-the-scenes footage and a host of the songs Jackson was perfecting on the days prior to his sudden death on June 25.

Jackson named music executive John McClain and his long-time attorney John Branca as an executor of his estate in his will. “This film is not only a tribute to an artist who created excitement every moment he was on stage, but also is a fitting gift to the millions of fans worldwide who loved him and who he devoted his professional life to entertaining,” McClain said.

High School Musical director Kenny Ortega was the creative director for the ‘This Is It.' He is glad that the world will get to see Jackson's vision for the tour.

“Everyone will see what our team was so fortunate to experience, which was the full commitment, passion and creativity that Michael put into this project," Ortega said. "He was the architect of ‘This Is It’, and we were his builders. The footage that was captured from the early stages of the production to our technical rehearsals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles will show Michael as he truly was, creatively involved with every aspect of the production. It will also show Michael as one of the greatest entertainers in the world. The footage will show that he was on his way to another theatrical triumph.”

Some of the proceeds from the film will go directly to Jackson’s estate for the benefit of the Michael Jackson Family Trust.

“Our goal is to work with partners who treat Michael’s legacy with dignity and respect, while allowing us to substantially build the value of his estate for the benefit of Mrs. Katherine Jackson, Michael’s three children and the charitable causes that meant so much to him during his life,” Branca said.

The Prince of Pop's mother Katherine has been given full custody of her son’s children - Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as 'Blanket'.

The movie will hit theaters worldwide on October 28.

"Michael was murdered," says LaToya Jackson

We have heard very few words directly from the Jackson family, but it seems the silence is breaking. LaToya Jackson, one of Michael's three sisters, commented to Britain's Daily Mail that she thinks her brother's death was led by "a shadowy entourage" and considers them to have "murdered" him.

LaToya believes that doctors, handlers, and assistants are to blame for her brother's death. "I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren’t always on his side," LaToya told the newspaper.

LaToya goes on to comment that she predicted her brother's passing "less than a month ago." She recalls telling her family, "'He’s never going to make it to London. He was worth more dead than alive." I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart. Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them."

LaToya also shares that in Michael's last few monthes he "was isolated from his family. He had no real friends. He was the loneliest man in the world. I knew something terrible was going to happen." She also shares her thoughts about Dr. Conrad Murry, Michael's doctor who was present when Jackson died. LaToya said when she began questioning the doctor at the hospital about her brother's death, Conrad "disappeared." LaToya finishes up by saying when she saw Michael's body "His eyes were half open and he looked like he was sleeping. He wasn’t cold."

Elizabeth Taylor Possibly Aided Michael Jackson's Drug Addiction

As the memorial service for Michael Jackson ends, new rumors come at an abundance. There is now talk that Dame Elizabeth Taylor, longtime friend of Jackson may be linked to Michael's alleged prescription drug dependency. The Daily Beast reports, Taylor influenced Jackson's prescription drug addiction by introducing him to Dr. Arnold Klein, the same doctor whom she revealed prescribed her several medications, including Dilaudid and Ativan, the first a powerful opiate that street users dub "the Bentley of heroin" and the latter a tranquilizer. According to a source Taylor sought help from at least two doctors to counter her growing drug dependence, many of which were prescribed by Klein.

According to The Daily Beast, Jackson began using some of the same pills as Taylor shortly after Dr. Klein started treating Jackson for for vitiligo. Klein was Jackson's cosmetic dermatologist and later introduced Jackson to his second wife, Debbie Rowe. Klein appeared on ABC's Good Morning America and stated that he had used sedation on the pop star in the past for appropriate medical procedures but had never prescriped him drugs. "I was not one of the doctors who participated in giving him overdoses of drugs or too much of anything. In fact, I was the one who limited everything, who stopped everything," Klein said.

Klein apparently saw Jackson 3 days before his death. It is known that Michael would make trips to Klein's office 2 - 3 times a week, visits lasting anywhere between 30 minutes - 5 hours. Los Angeles Police refused to comment on whether Dr. Klein is one of the five physicians being focused on in the Jackson investigation.
