Script About Michael Jackson's Pet Chimpanzee Has Been Optioned for a Film
When you're Michael Jackson—the most heralded pop music icon in history—anything about your life is fair subject matter for a film, including your precious pet chimpanzee, Bubbles: According to Deadline, a script about MJ's relationship with the chimp has been purchased, and probably for a very large sum of money.
Named Bubbles after the famous primate in question, the script was co-purchased by producer Andrew Kortschak and End Cue—a film production company. Veteran TV-writer Dan Harmon—who created NBC's Community—is slated to produce the film, which will eventually take the form of a stop-motion animated feature, because chimps are artsy.
