I dont know if this has been posted yet, but I came across this article:
www.yahoo.com
Never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson mighht just find a home on streaming, and the man behind the camera says it offers a side of the late pop star the public has never seen.
Marc Schaffel, a close friend and producer who worked with Jackson during one of the most turbulent periods of his life, tells TMZ he shot hours of video of the King of Pop between 2000 and 2003. The footage captures Jackson in his most private moments — chatting with friends, visiting his hometown of Gary, Indiana and simply living his life away from the spotlight that followed him everywhere.
Schaffel is now shopping the footage, which comes from a time when Jackson was potentially shooting a reality TV series, to streaming services as a three-part documentary series. Each episode is expected to run approximately two hours and focus on a distinct chapter of Jackson's life during that period. Schaffel describes the project as a positive portrait of the star — a deliberate contrast to some of the more controversial Jackson documentaries that have emerged in recent years.
No streaming platform has been announced yet, but with the volume of footage Schaffel says he has — and the appetite for Jackson content — a deal appears likely.
