In Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved a deal over the film between the estate of the late singer, concert promoter AEG Live and Columbia Pictures.

Central to the movie will be footage taken as the King of Pop prepared for his sell-out London comeback tour taken just days before he died.

Jackson was pronounced dead on June 25, just days before he was due to fly to England to commence his 50-concert residency at the O2 arena.

In the week following his death, footage emerged featuring Jackson rehearsing for the shows in Los Angeles. The proposed film would be based on these sessions. It could also include videos prepared for the backdrop of his This is It shows.

Today's court hearing had been set aside for the judge to rule over the proposed film after Jackson's mother Katherine was given the opportunity to review the contracts and raise any objections.
