The singer, who is facing child molestation charges, gave "Jersey Girl" filmmaker Kevin Smith a script called "Hot Rod" and tried to convince him to make a film based on it. Advertisement "It was about Michael Jackson morphing into a car," Smith told Playboy magazine in an issue just hitting newsstands. "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," said the "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy" filmmaker. Smith said it was the oddest script he was ever 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."
