OMG!!! Murray To Make Money Off Trial...
It is being reported this morning that, while Dr. Conrad Murray stands trial for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson, he has been shopping around a documentary of his ordeal.
Murray is said to have been quietly filming the documentary for several weeks now and that its being shopped to major television stations.
...
Reportedly Murray has sold the rights to his story to a production company that’s been filming interviews with him daily as the trial progresses.
The unidentified production company is shopping the documentary as a package deal that would include a video diary and a sit-down interview with Murray.
In other words, whatever news division pays for the documentary, they will also get the "bonus" side deal of a sit-down interview with the doctor.
The production company is reportedly looking to sell the documentary for $1 million. It is unclear how much money would go to Murray.
"They have already filmed a long interview in case [Murray's] taken into custody," a source told Page Six.
CNN was reportedly interested in buying the film but a rep from that station told Page Six that, although they were pitched on it, they were not interested and declined.
There is talk that NBC is close to securing a deal for the "Today Show."
A spokesperson for Murray’s lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, declined to comment, citing a gag order on the case. NBC also declined to comment.
