WTF! FANS PROTEST AGAINST MICHAEL JACKSONS THIS IS IT MOVIE! CLAIMS IT'S DOCTORED & EXPLOITATIVE!

Michael Jackson's "This Is It" is set to premiere around the world tonight. But not all the singer's fans are clamoring to see it.
Some of his most diehard supporters, who waited for the singer outside rehearsals and saw him in the weeks before his death, are urging anyone who loved the King of Pop to not attend the movie at all.

Angry Michael Jackson fans around the world have started a campaign against the forthcoming film, claiming that the studio doctored images of the King of Pop to make him appear healthier than he really was.

The group, which is asking real fans to boycott the movie, has started a Web site called This Is Not It, claiming that the singer was far more frail than the documentary shows, reports Britain's Guardian.

Written in red all capital letters, the Web site states: "THE INDUSTRY WANTED MICHAEL JACKSON LIVE. WE WANTED MICHAEL JACKSON ALIVE. NOW WE WANT THE TRUTH!"

The Web site goes on to claim that the film's director, Kenny Ortega, had to cut the singer's food and was forced to feed him because Jackson was too weak to feed himself. It also states that on days Jackson did not show up for work because he was not feeling well, his choreographer picked him up at home and forced him to attend rehearsals.

The documentary follows Jackson as he rehearses for his series of concerts planned for London's O2 Arena. The film has been produced with the full support of Michael Jackson's estate, and promises to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the final months of Jackson's life. The singer died of a heart attack on June 25 and has since become the center of a homicide investigation.

But some fans are saying that instead of honoring his memory, the movie is exploiting Jackson - as the concert series aimed to do before his death. Fans blame AEG, Sony Pictures and even Jackson's own entourage, saying the film is only being used to promote their own financial gain, according to Britain's Guardian.

"A couple of weeks before he passed, we saw [Jackson] change drastically," says Talin Shajanian, a devoted fan who used to wait outside of the rehearsal venue in L.A. where Jackson was preparing for his London gig. "He shared this with us, the pressure that he felt, the concerns that he had."

Shajanian told the Guardian, "He specifically said he was only one person and only had a certain amount of energy to give, that so much was expected of him for these shows. We were expecting him to bulk up, to put on weight for the concerts like he had in the past, and that wasn't happening."

Meanwhile, Ortega, the film's director whose past credits include "High School Musical," has said of Jackson, "Was he slight? Yes. Was he frail? At times. But we had a very strong and excited, happy and determined Michael. He wanted to do this more than anything he's ever wanted to do . . . That's the truth. It really is."

The film has also received the stamp of approval from some of Jackson's close friends, include Elizabeth Taylor, who saw the film in a private screening. She called it the "most brilliant piece of film-making I have ever seen," piling on several other accolades for the film in a lengthy series of Tweets.

Sony, which is distributing the film, has released a statement saying, "We believe his fans will be grateful for the rare opportunity to see Michael's creativity in action as he prepared and rehearsed for his London concerts."
