Spike Lee visits Jackson's boyhood home

GARY, Ind. -- Filmmaker Spike Lee has visited Michael Jackson's childhood home in Indiana as he works on a documentary about the pop star.

Lee and a film crew shot footage Wednesday at the small home in Gary where Jackson lived until his family moved from the city when he was 11 years old.

Lee said his short film on Jackson's life will likely be released in mid-October. That would be just before the Oct. 28 release of the movie built around rehearsal footage for the late singer's planned London concerts.

The filming wasn't announced and few spectators were at the house.

David Fossett, a second cousin to Jackson who oversees the home, walked around during the filming. Mayor Rudy Clay also stopped by to talk with Lee.
