Jackson wanted to star as man-turned-car
MSNBC | Come on, you know you'd go see it
Michael Jackson wanted to star in a movie about a man who turns into a car that's driven around by a little boy. The singer - who's facing child molestation charges - was trying to get a film called Hot Rod made, according to Jersey Girl director Kevin Smith. 'It was about Michael Jackson morphing into a car... Jackson was behind it, and he wanted it to be this story about a guy, played by himself, who hangs out with a little boy, and this little boy gets into the car and drives him around.' Smith says it was the weirdest script he ever was asked to direct, but adds, 'In retrospect, I'd love to make that movie. But it wouldn't be anything like the version Jackson or the studio wanted to see.'
