A new biographic film will be produced about the life of Michael Jackson, told from the perspective of his pet chimp Bubbles, the Guardian reported on Monday.
The animated movie will be based on an original screenplay by Isaac Adamson, which topped the 2015 Black List of the most promising screenplays circulating in Hollywood.
The film will be co-produced by End Cue and Starburns Industries, the Guardian quoted the Hollywood Reporter.
Bubbles was one of many chimpanzees that the King of Pop owned over the years and was adopted by him during the 1980s.
According to some accounts, Bubbles was treated like a human companion by the music star.
He was allowed to sit at the same dining table and to use the same toilet, though it was reported that Jackson, who died in 2009, was physically abusive to the chimp on a number of occasions.
