The Sylvers V. The Jacksons

Both had 9 kids.Both could sing,so what exactly happened here.I'm be honest, the Jacksons are a cuter family than the Sylvers.
RARE FACT:Foster(the little one in front)use to be the voice of Michael on the Jackson Five cartoon.True Fact!

ALSO:The Jacksons and The Sylvers use to play together,the Sylver brothers all had a crush on Latoya while the Sylver sisters love the Jackson boys.They talked about how they were always hitting on them in a radio broadcast in 1973.

MAKING OF THE KING PART 21

RARE FACT: Michael proposed to Brooke Shields,ready now? 10 times.10 different times Michael Jackson asked Brooke Shields to be his wife,and she refused each time meaning she kept those rings(wonder what they look like?).

Because that fact didn't come out until he had passed,I wanted the film which was set in the 80s to deal with this scene between MJ and Brooke.So below is what I had called the "Carousel Scene", MJ had an unreleased Thriller track called "Carousel" which I thought was representative of their relationship.I wanted him to propose to her there, it seemed fitting....so, for your enjoyment, here is the cut sequence of MJ's proposal called "Carousel Scene", ENJOY!

EXT.AMUSEMENT PARK-NIGHT(1983)

A carousel sits glowing at night.Michael and Brooke stand
between the posts.Circus music can be heard off in the
distance.

MICHAEL JACKSON
I know you've been in school and
everything and I haven't been
around.

BROOKE SHIELDS
What's wrong with you...you've been
acting weird all day...did
something happen?

MICHAEL JACKSON
No.

A BEAT.

MICHAEL JACKSON
I've been thinking about things in
my life...changes....I need to
make...we can't keep doing what
were doing...unless we're
married...

A BEAT.

MICHAEL JACKSON
I was wondering...

Michael pulls a ringbox out his jacket pocket.

MICHAEL JACKSON
I know I asked you a few times
but....I was wondering if you would
be my girl...forever?

A BEAT.

MICHAEL JACKSON
Brooke...would you married me?

A BEAT.She looks at the 9 karat diamond ring.

BROOKE SHIELDS
(silent,then--)
Yes.You'll have for the rest of
your life.Yes I will marry you.

MJ takes out the ring and slips it on her finger.Brooke
stares at the diamond on her hand.

BROOKE SHIELDS
Come here.

Brooke takes Michael's hand and sits down on a bench.She
turns to MJ.He silences her with his eyes.Michael smiles.

BROOKE SHIELDS
I don't wanna get married just
yet...can we wait awhile?

MICHAEL JACKSON
Sure.

BROOKE SHIELDS
I love you so much.

MICHAEL JACKSON
I love you too.

They kiss passionately.

RARE: Slim Tito List

I don't have this in my script but I always thought this was a funny scene about Tito's weight and how Michael and Jermaine were going to get him to lose weight.Here is the actual list written out by the brothers for Tito.

MAKING OF THE KING PART 20

EXCERPT ABOUT MS.JANELLE PENNY COMISSONG.ONE OF MJ'S LEGENDARY EXS,IF POSTED BEFORE HERE'S AN ENCORE:
EXT.TRINIDAD-DUSK

The colorful orange hues and pink skies sail over the
Caribbean landscape of palm trees,crystal clear water and
sandy white beaches in the evening night.

INT.TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO HILTON HOTEL-NIGHT

A small party is being held for the arrival of the brothers
to the island.LOCAL MUSICIANS and PRESS have arrived to talk
with and meet the brothers.Some are in a celebrity haze
while others lay back and remain smooth.

Alone on a rattan chair is Randy,holding his virgin frozen
drink.Boredom is written across his face, he wants to leave.
Getting up,Randy floats from each of his brothers until he
finds Michael.

RANDY JACKSON
(abrupt)
What time is it?

Michael is talking to a reporter--

MICHAEL JACKSON
(to the reporter)
I'm sorry, 'xcuse me for a moment.
(to Randy)
Pardon?..What is it?

RANDY JACKSON
(whispering in his brother's
ear)
Mike, when are we leaving?

Michael shrugs.

MICHAEL JACKSON
Go siddo Randy...or ask Marlon,I'm
not really sure.

Caribbean music fills the room as locals take pictures of
the brothers on their Kodak Polaroids when everything
stops—-

In a midst of flash photography,a beautiful young woman
enters the room.Its JANELLE PENNY COMISSONG, the Ms.
Universe of Trinidad.

She smiles sweetly into the bright white grins of MEN whose
GIRLFRIENDS clutch them tightly. Gracefully gliding though
the party as a melee occurs, she notices Michael among his
brothers.

She approaches them.

JANELLE PENNY COMISSONG
(Trinidadian accent)
Hello.

MICHAEL/RANDY
(giggling)
Hi.

Randy and Michael just stare at her--

JANELLE PENNY COMISSONG
Its very nice to meet you, so how
do you like Trinidad so far?

MICHAEL JACKSON
Its beautiful.

Flashes go off, Michael and Janelle pose for a photograph
for the local press on the island.Everyone goes crazy,
directing Michael and Janelle.Standing there,next to each
other, Janelle notices that Michael is shaking.

Suddenly Michael feels something--Janelle is holding his
hand,between him and Randy.

She leans over to Randy--

JANELLE PENNY COMISSONG
(whispering to Randy)
Does he always shake this much?

RANDY JACKSON
(whispering back)
Mike is extremely nervous around
girls.

She smiles.

PHOTOGRAPHER
(yelling in the crowd)
Get closer!!

INT.TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO HILTON HOTEL-MORNING

Michael swims to the delight of teenage girls,catcalling and
hooting for him.SCHOOL GIRLS in uniforms stare down at the
swimming pool containing Michael.

POOL--

Michael strokes through the crystal blue water while teenage
girls scream his name constantly, the hotel security try to
keep them back but its no use.

As Michael does a few more laps around the pool--the moment
they been waiting for occurs, his height is undeniable as
Michael emerges from the pool dripping wet to the screams of
his audience, yelling and pleading for him to come up.

TRINIDAD SCHOOL GIRL
(yelling down at Michael)
Hey Michael! Come on up by the
fence, we want'cha ta sign some
ortergraphs.

FADE TO BLACK:

MAKING OF THE KING PART 19

I'm still finishing up the script to the King of Pop movie and thinking about casting constantly.I know I would want some of my actors to reprise like Alicia Keys as Suzanne De Passe,Ice Cube as Berry,Pam Grier and Howard Hewett as Joe and Katherine.But two of the most important roles is the two women I think confused and perplexed Michael the most in his life.His on again off again true love Ms.Brooke Shields and his video dream girl Ms.Tatiana Thumbtzen.

When it came to Ms."T", I already knew who I wanted a long time ago.If anyone remembers the realms of Reality TV and that god awful mess of a modeling agency called ANTM or for us not working on our signature walk American's Next Top Model.One of the hopefuls who got lost in the shuffle was a Arizona girl by the name of Leslie Mancia.But this girl is a dead ringer(I'M NOT KIDDING) for MJ's video lover.She was cut and never seen again but she is Tatiana Thumbtzen-SEE PHOTO

In finding Brooke,no girl who is an actress is going to give you that height and look so it comes down to an actress who can give you look and you work on height.A few months ago before the end of the legendary lesbian series L Word went off the air there was a character who seemed oddly based on Lindsay Lohan named Nikki Stevens.Looking at her,she isn't a bad Brooke Shields.She's short,but that's why God invented high heels.So take a look at the two casting ideas for MJ's soul mates: MS. T and MS.BROOKE.

READ THE DRAFTS!

Here's the link with the rough title card opening: http://www.box.net/rghdrftofmakingtheking

The original script description

FADE IN:

Glittery rhinestones lay outlined in a thick white border
that are graciously topped with a small crown sitting above
the letter "i" in king-- they spell out the title:

OVER BLACK, GRAPHIC TITLE CARD:"D.Nesmith's The King of Pop"

CUT TO BLACK:

The second part is the original meeting between Stephanie Mills(MJ's first and only black girlfriend not counting Ms.Ross)and Michael.I wanted it to be verbatim like Mills stated but there wasn't enough time or revelance to the story.Here it is unedited:

INT.BROADWAY THEATER-NIGHT

The darkness of a Broadway theater is completely reminiscent
of a baroque painting. The glow from the spotlights
illuminates the faces of the transfixed audience. Music from
the orchestra pit adds to the atmosphere of the production
upon the stage. Walking to the footlights while looking out
into the crowd, STEPHANIE MILLS sings HOME—

STEPHANIE MILLS
(singing)
maybe there’s a chance for me to go
back now that I have some direction
...love and affection and just
maybe I can convince time to slow
up and give me enough time in my
life to grow up...

AUDIENCE Amongst the crowd, lost in the voice of Stephanie
Mills—Michael watches her, getting lost in her performance
and the meaning of her words.

STEPHANIE MILLS
(O.S)
Time be my friend....let me start
again...suddenly my world has gone
and changed its face but I still
know where I’m goin...

STAGE

Swaying underneath the crinoline of her dress,Stephanie
sings with passion to the audience underneath the spotlights
of the stage. Hitting the last notes of the song, the red
velvet curtains close to the thunderous applause.

The orchestra goes into He’s the Wizard as the crowd begins
to exit the theater out the doors.

DRESSING ROOM

DANCER
(talking loudly)
Oh wee that was a fabulous show
tonight, you hear me chile!!

The chatter of the backstage dressing room fills the air,
dancers change while the performers are being “dismantled”
by the makeup department. Sitting in a high vanity chair,
sipping on a Coke, Stephanie looks at herself in the mirror.

She looks out the door at PHOTOGRAPHERS and PRESS AGENTS
dodging for a glimpse or an interview from the cast.
Stephanie’s braided ponytails tie off with ribbons has been
undone, allowing a woman to emerge from this child like
character. Listening to the talk outside, she HEARS a
distinct voice—-

MICHAEL JACKSON
(O.S)
Oh I loved it....it was truly
wonderful performance…I love the
theater.

Stephanie recognizes it immediately, in a split second she
hops out of her chair and rushes out to the doorway. Peering
down the hall(looking at a group of photographers),Stephanie
sees Michael.She takes her time, step after step,approaching
him.

Michael is still talking to the photographers when he feels
a soft tap on his shoulder—-

MICHAEL JACKSON
(turning around)
Yes?

Michael looks down at the 4”9 star in front of him,
Stephanie just stands there—-beaming.

STEPHANIE MILLS
(at a lost for words)
Hi, I’m Stephanie, Stephanie Mills.

MICHAEL JACKSON
(smiling)
I know—I thought you were great, do
you like it?

Stephanie's POV-Stephanie stares into Michael’s eyes, she
gets lost in his smile.Starring at his perfectly white
teeth, Stephanie forgets what she’s talking about.

MICHAEL JACKSON
(confused)
Ms. Mills, Stephanie?

Stephanie regains her composure--

STEPHANIE MILLS
(smirking)
Yes I love it very much, say can I
ask you a question….would you have
dinner with me?

Stephanie’s cast members watch from the doorway as she tries
to ask out Michael Jackson,they wait as patiently for the
response as she does. Michael thinks for a moment—-biting
his lip.

MICHAEL JACKSON
(shy)
I dunno...I’m sorry I’m flying back
to California tonight...I guess...

Michael is clearly shy, she can tell--

STEPHANIE MILLS
(smiling)
I’m suppose to be goin' to
California so—

Stephanie pulls out a pen.

STEPHANIE MILLS
(uncapping the pen)
Why don’t you give me your number?

Michael looks at the pen in Stephanie’s hand, he thinks for
a moment. He doesn’t socialize very often especially with
girls.After a moment, he gathers up the confidence and
scribbles his number down on the back of Stephanie’s Play
Bill.

SECURITY GUARD
(grabbing Michael's shoulder)
Mike we gotta go.

MICHAEL JACKSON
(waving)
Goodbye.

STEPHANIE MILLS
(seductive)
Bye.

Stephanie runs back to the giggles and whispers of her cast
mates in the doorway, waiting on the scoop to what just
unfolded.

MAKING OF THE KING PART 18
