Promotional posters for the Michael Jackson movie promise fans will see Jackson, 'Like you've never seen him before.' But the King of Pop's family says, in places, it's not even him.

M.J.'s family members are accusing 'This Is It' filmmakers of using body doubles. Patriarch, Joe, says those behind the concert film are fooling his late son's fans and he only needed to see twelve minutes of footage to decide, 'This movie features body doubles, no doubt about it.'

News of the World reports that a British Michael Jackson impersonator, Navi Parasram claims to have turned down an invite to appear. He claimed, 'They asked me to do long shots, visuals, placements.' Sony declined to comment.

Sister Latoya's business partner, Jeffre Phillips, also told News of the World, 'I see all these great movements in the trailers but I don't believe most of those shots were Michael. He wasn't well enough. I've seen clips where I even thought, 'That's not Michael's voice.''

Meanwhile, Latoya reportedly has 'no plans' to watch the documentary, which focuses on rehearsals for the 50 shows at the O2 Arena where Jackson was scheduled to perform before his sudden death in June. She is said to be devastated by the possibility that the last recorded performances of her brother are not genuine.

Joe Jackson anticipates that 'This Is It,' scheduled for release October 28, will come under fire. 'I think people will tear this movie apart,' he said.

Does anybody here plan on seeing this film?

Nope, not bothering to watch it myself. Although I like some of his music.

I was planning on seeing it until I read this.

Real or body double, I have no desire to see it.
