A feature film based on Michael Jackson -- using more than 80 hours of footage from his rehearsals for the 50-date London series the King of Pop was working toward before his death -- is in the works.

Sony Pictures Entertainment, according to Variety blogger Mike Fleming, is negotiating with AEG Entertainment, which has been showcasing the footage to studios; it is believed Sony will pay about $50 million for the footage. Kenny Ortega, the director of the High School Musical films, will reportedly direct.

The film, Variety reported, will also include a previously unseen version of Jackson's blockbuster hit video, 'Thriller'.

Jackson died after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest June 25 in Los Angeles.

Calamity, everyone is not the same. Some people can endure more pain than others. Maybe, your family members have a higher tolerence for pain than Michael Jackson did.
