In an effort to strengthen their bid for control of Jackson’s estate, attorney John Branca and business executive John McClain are talking to AEG Live about selling videotape of Jackson’s rehearsals that could be used to produce a movie or DVD.

Branca and McClain are the two people named in the 2002 will that Michael Jackson signed, which currently holds temporarily true until the King’s mega estate is figured out by the courts. By being in talks to sell the rehearsal footage (reportedly for upwards of $60 million dollars), legal analysts say that it establishes that the two have the wherewithal to capitalize on Jackson’s estate.

Reports have been leaked that Sony Pictures Entertainment, a unit of the Japanese based Sony, is said to be the lead studio for the deal as they do control some rights to Jackson’s recordings.

Control of the MJ estate is bringing the fierce competition due to the fact that even though it was nearly $500 million in debt, the total assets cover that plus an extra couple hundred million, at least.

It’s still not clear, according to Katherine Jackson’s attorney Londell McMillan, if she will officially challenge the will and/or seek a 3rd party co-executor.
