Sony Pictures have blasted reports that the forthcoming Michael Jackson concert documentary 'This Is It' uses body doubles.
The movie documents the singer's final tour rehearsals for his London O2 Arena residency, shortly before his passing in July. The film includes unseen footage of Jackson as he prepared to make his live comeback.
But reports say Michael's father Joe and sister La Toya have alleged some scenes include stand-ins who impersonate the King of Pop.
A spokesperson for Sony has rubbished their claims however, telling TMZ: "This report is pure garbage and there are no body doubles."
"Audiences will begin to see the film tomorrow and every time they see the King Of Pop they will know that every frame is unquestionably Michael as he rehearses and prepares for the London concerts that were to have begun this past summer."
