Aaron Spelling once drafted a movie concept where he wanted Michael Jackson to play Pied Piper of Hamelin character, it has been revealed.
Candy Spelling, the Hollywood legend's widow, told Wenn that Jackson was supposed to play the character of Pied Piper, who charmed all the children, but as George Lucas rewrote an entirely different concept, the movie didn't happen.
