A cable reality project which followed The Jacksons has stockpiles of footage on the family, possibly including never-before-seen scenes with Michael.
The A&S Network had planned to air the footage next year as a one-hour special/backdoor pilot. But the ongoing possibility of a Jackson family reality show could pale in news value compared to what she already has in the can.
“We have months and months of exclusive and intimate footage as a family as a unit, as individuals, as brothers,” Jodi Gomes of Point 7 Entertainment said. “It’s enormous … this is not your average special.”
The project finished shooting a few weeks before Michael Jackson’s death, as the Jacksons were preparing for a Jackson 5 reunion — which would have likely included the King of Pop.
“We have started discussing internally and with the family but have not yet decided what direction to take with the show,” said A&E executives, in a statement. “We are respecting the family’s wishes right now, and at the appropriate time we will all decide what direction this program will take, so stay tuned.”
Just keep those negotiations away from Joe Jackson?

Never. Seen. Before.
Come on, Australian media, you can do it. Never seen before. Not hard.
It’s not necessary to talk like Yoda to make an impact.
