A documentary chronicling Michael Jackson in his last years has been acquired at the Cannes Film Festival. Michael: The last Photo Shoots follows the late superstar as he prepared for his ill-fated comeback. It features interviews with the photographers as well as his stylists and friends.
Renowned photographer Bruce Weber photographed Jackson in 2007 for the re-release of Thriller on its 25th anniversary and celebrity photographer Matthew Rolston shot him the same year for a magazine. lightning Entertainment has acquired the international sale rights. Its executive vice president, Ken Dubow, said in a statement that the documentary will provide fans with “a rare behind-the-scenes look into his life.” Jackson died shortly before his london comeback concerts in 2009. Xscape, a second posthumous album, was released this week.
