Movie Bosses Deny Using Jackson Body Doubles

Movie bosses have hit back at allegations Michael Jackson's forthcoming tour film has been padded out with footage of body doubles impersonating the King of Pop.

The pop superstar passed away suddenly in June (09), just weeks before his highly-anticipated stage return in London.

A film documenting his rehearsals is set for release later this month (Oct09).

This movie features body doubles, no doubt about it

Last week (ends25Oct09), the late star's father Joe Jackson claimed producers were trying to dupe fans with footage featuring impersonators.

Jackson said, "This movie features body doubles, no doubt about it. I think people will tear this movie apart".

But a spokesperson for producers Sony tells Tmz, "This report is pure garbage and there are no body doubles. Audiences will begin to see thefilm tomorrow and every time they see The King of Pop they will know that every frame is unquestionably Michael as he rehearses and prepares for the London concerts that were to have begun this past summer".
