Quincy Jones sued Michael Jackson's estate claiming he is owed millions in royalties and production fees on some of the superstar's greatest hits.

Jones' lawsuit Friday seeks at least $10 million from the singer's estate and Sony Music Entertainment, claiming the entities improperly re-edited songs to deprive him of royalties and production fees. The music has been used in the film "This Is It" and a pair of Cirque du Soleil shows based on the King of Pop's songs, the lawsuit states.

Jones also claims that he should have received a producer's credit on the music in "This Is It." His lawsuit seeks an accounting of the estate's profits from the works so that Jones can determine how much he is owed.

The producer worked with Jackson on three of his most popular solo albums, "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad."

Jackson's estate wrote in a statement that it was saddened by Jones' lawsuit. "To the best of its knowledge, Mr. Jones has been appropriately compensated over approximately 35 years for his work with Michael," the statement said.

An after-hours message left at Sony Music's New York offices was not immediately returned.

Jackson's hits "Billie Jean," "Thriller" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" are among the songs Jones claims were re-edited to deprive him of royalties and his producer's fee.

Jones' lawsuit states the producer's contracts called for him to have the first opportunity to re-edit or alter the songs, in part to protect his reputation.

Irish actor Jamie Dornan is in talks to take the male lead in the high-profile movie adaptation of erotic bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey.

The 31-year-old actor is in negotiations for the role of Christian Grey after having completed a screen test opposite the film's female lead, Dakota Johnson (Anastasia Steele), according to industry publication The Hollywood Reporter.

A former Calvin Klein model, Dornan previously starred as Sheriff Graham Humbert/The Huntsman on TV's fairy tale-themed adventure drama Once Upon a Time and is currently seen on the British series The Fall. He also appeared in the 2006 film Marie Antoinette.

Sons of Anarchy and Pacific Rim actor Charlie Hunnam had previously landed the role of billionaire Christian Grey in the anticipated movie adaptation of author E.L. James' bestselling, BDSM-inspired romance series.

However, he dropped out of the role earlier this month. Officially, he cited scheduling conflicts but his departure came amid rumoured differences with the creative team and discomfort with the frenzy around the adaptation.

Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, Fifty Shades of Grey is slated for theatrical release in August 2014.
