Michael Jackson’s story is headed for Hollywood from the producer who helped make hit film “Bohemian Rhapsody,” industry media reported on Friday. Deadline, citing unnamed sources, said the film “isn’t intended to be a sanitized rendering” of Jackson’s life. King’s production company and the Jackson estate did not immediately return calls for comment. A Michael Jackson show “One” from Cirque du Soleil continues to play in Las Vegas, and stage musical “Thriller Live” has been playing in London since 2009. Deadline said the script for the Jackson movie will be written by John Logan, whose credits include “The Aviator.” No casting, expected release date or movie studio was announced.
