Audiences will get to see the King of Pop perform one more time after a judge approved a major deal to produce a movie fashioned from footage of his final rehearsals.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff announced that he has approved a deal between Michael Jackson's estate, concert promoter AEG Live and Columbia Pictures for a movie.
The feature-length flick will feature rehearsal footage from a planned series of London comeback concerts, as well as videos from the This Is It shows shot in the days before Jackson's June 25 death.
A final cut of the film must be screened for representatives of his estate no later than October 2, must be rated PG and cannot include material that "presents Michael Jackson in a negative light," according to the contract.
Plans for a movie soundtrack are also underway.
