JACKSON'S FINAL BOW

MICHAEL JACKSON is set wow audiences from beyond the grave - unseen footage of the star rehearsing for his planned comeback shows is to be made into a documentary.

Bosses at Sony have reportedly paid $66.8 million (£40 million) to make a feature-length film including Jackson's final practice sessions, three new music videos, and a digitally enhanced version of the Thriller promo.

Filmmakers are planning to release it before the Oscars selection process early next year (10) - and hope it will make the shortlist for an award.

A source tells Britain's Daily Express, "This is going to be one of the biggest films of all time. With Sony behind it, it will be very slick... And the Academy loves honouring past icons in the business."
