New MJ Movie Being Shopped -- 'This Is REALLY It'
3 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson could live again on the big screen -- TMZ has learned a former Jackson associate is trying to shop around a full-length movie featuring unseen rehearsal footage from MJ's 1981 concert series.



The man behind the deal is Ron Newt -- who claims he was so close with Michael, that the singer gave him special behind-the-scenes footage from Jackson's 1981 Triumph Tour.

Now, after seeing the success of "This Is It " -- Newt tells TMZ he's put together a 64-minute feature film from his footage ... which includes several candid moments involving MJ and his brothers. Michael can also be seen dancing, singing and directing the stage production.

Newt tells us he's already getting offers from several interested parties -- with proposals reaching into seven figures.

TMZ always uses the date of the article in the file name of the photo they publish with the article.  Take a look at the file name of the pic accompanying this article:



The file name is 0827_Michael_jackson_bigger_better_GETTY_EX.jpg and it refers to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login2010/08/27/0827-michael-jackson-bigger-better-getty-ex.jpg

There must be a reason, other then MJ's birthday, for waiting 2 days to run this story...

that image that they photoshopped is this:


according to amazon it's from the documentary "Bigger Than Big: The Documentary of Ron Newt & the MCA Music Scandal" from 2006.

Since there is no summary of the video, i'll post a person's review of the video (note: this is the one and only review on the video):
This is a rush job in the worst way, July 11, 2008
By    Pressureworld (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bigger Than Big: The Documentary of Ron Newt & the MCA Music Scandal (DVD)
Trust me when I tell you this is one of the worst documentaries I have ever seen. Ron was a young pimp from California who had a large stable of woman and some success during the 80's. What could have made this documentary something special is the interesting selling point of Ron's three sons, and the so called MCA scandal. They were a singing group called the Newtrons(Ron Newt spelled backwards)and up and comming R&B group created by there father. They began to have a large following locally, appearing at the Jackson Ranch and even on Soul Train. How was Ron Newt a pimp with very little education able to sucessfully put this together? How was he able to negotiate a multimillion doller deal with MCA? What were the origin's of the scandal? The Newtrons were about to take off like a rocketship into superstardom but instead crashed and burned. This should have been the focus of the film instead the documentary glosses over The Newtrons the main point of interest, in favor of 50 minuites of Ron and his friends talking over and over about how great they are. How much money they made, who was the greatest pimp and other nonsense. This sadly becomes both repetitive and pedestrian. These grown men, (Ron included) many in there 40's and 50's began to look like caricature's and clowns. This is a rush job that could have been great but instead it just comes off as lazy feeble attempt to pimp the public.


i don't know if this is relevant.
i googled and tried on wikipedia to find this scandal, but couldn't really find anything.

'This Is REALLY It'

That's what stands out to me. Are they implying that that's gonna be the title of the movie, or are they saying something else???

When I first heard about this new guy, I had to start investigating, but couldn’t find that much info… Okay so, TMZ said that Ron Newt came to Joe with this information. Ron Newt is supposed to be a friend of the Jacksons as well as a friend of Zerline’s family also. Ron Newt is no longer alive, but he was part of the group The Newtrons in the 80s with his brother Bob(by?) and he is also the brother of singer J. Valentine. I am sure they probably have more inside info and probably pictures. I don’t know if this story is true, but PMMJJ does look like a Jackson.

Wouldn’t that be weird if his mother just told him that his whole life because she was Uhm.. well… not all there… I am, just sayin’… who is that strange… putting Michael’s name on the certificate and naming your son after him, and telling him that is who his father is his whole life.

On the taped phone conversations on youtube, Michael said he wasn’t going to have sex until marriage and the recording is from ‘92… so I don’t know…

I hope it’s true… hurry it up with the DNA test!

Newbie Asked:
What happened to r and b group the newtrons?

Kelly Gee Answered:
The Newtrons were an R&B trio comprised of the Newt brothers--Bobby, Ronnie, and Johnnie--from San Francisco. They had a R&B hit in 1990 with "My Heart Beats For You". Tragically, Ronnie was shot to death in a store robbery one year later. The other two brothers are still active today as singer-songwriters and producers; along with R&B star Tank, they are members of the "Song Dynasty" production team. Johnnie, the youngest of the three, performs under the name J. Valentine.

the one on the right i believe is the one who died. The one in the middle is now known as J Valentine and is still singing. Check him out on you tube. The other twin Bob Newt now sings gospel. He got a myspace page. Talks about how he fell into a deep depression after his brother was killed and became addicted to sex. Had 5 kids by time he was 23 and then got saved. Touching story.

Ronald Newt jr. is the one that's deceased. The photo in the TMZ article is Ronals Newt Sr.
Check out this article, there's an other connection between Ron Newt and Michael Jackson
Here's a section from the article

The National Enquirer, desperate to get a scoop that Jackson has abused children, heard that the Newt kids once spent time with Jackson.

The tabloid offered the Newts' father, Ronald Newt Sr., $200,000 to say that something happened between his kids and Jackson.

Newt, a San Francisco "character" and filmmaker whose past includes pimping and jail time, considered the offer.

And it seems California is a second Candido Godol - more twins than we would dare thinking of - except they are not blond and blue-eyed.

Lovely message on his birthday:

My hearts beats for you

- Love to you, Michael...
