Michael Jackson's last days to be adapted for TV
Renowned filmmaker J.J. Abrams and TV and radio host Tavis Smiley are adapting a new book about Michael Jackson for television. Smiley’s company said Monday that Waer Bros. Television is on board with the project.
The book, entitled “Before You Judge Me: The Triumph and Tragedy of Michael Jackson’s Last Days,” and co-authored by Tavis Smiley will be published Tuesday by Little, Brown and Co. It is described as a novelistic take on the iconic pop star’s final months.
Abrams and Smiley will be executive producers on the TV series. A network that will air it and a premier date has yet to be announced
