A previously unseen tour film made by Michael Jackson at the height of his career is to be auctioned in London later this month. It is expected to spark a multimillion pound bidding war among those eager to hoover up the remaining scraps of archive material relating to the deceased pop star.<\/p>\n
The film, seen for the first time by The Independent, was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1993 on Jackson’s mammoth Dangerous world tour and produced using state-of-the-art equipment. But the project was dropped soon after the film was completed, as Jackson was understood to be unhappy with the finished product. He sacked the entire crew and the film was scrapped and never released.<\/p>\n
The sole copy ended up not with his estate or his record company, but, curiously, with his personal driver, a Brazilian chauffeur.<\/p>\n
