Wow, why don’t you suck the remaining blood out of his festering corpse? The Michael Jackson news bloodletting just won’t stop.
Today’s news is that Sony Pictures is close to acquiring all the rehearsal footage of Jackson’s would-be tour. They are expected to pay north of f $50 million for buy worldwide rights from AEG Entertainment.
Knowing they had something valuable on their hands, AEG shopped nearly 80 hours of rehearsal footage to studios last week that saw the feeding frenzy of news and press and smelled “Harry Potter”-like numbers. So with this news coming to light Sony Pictures essentially show themselves as the first movie studio vulture to flock down on the relatively fresh corpse.
Nice. That’s a good look. Best of luck with your exploitation film. Not that we care that much for Michael Jackson, but c’mon, give us a break already. [Variety]
