The producers of the new Michael Jackson movie This Is It are reportedly furious over suggestions that it feaures body doubles.

The movie, which premieres this week, has been hit by claims from some members of Jackson's family that look-a-likes were used for many of the scenes featuring the late singer.

However, a rep from Sony, who co-produced the movie, told TMZ that the rumours were 'pure garbage' and that no doubles are featured.

They added: "Audiences will begin to see the film tomorrow and every time they see The King Of Pop they will know that every frame is unquestionably Michael as he rehearses and prepares for the London concerts that were to have begun this past summer."
