Despite putting out two records with different singers and launching a TV competition to find a new vocalist (Rock Star: Inxs aired in 2004), Hutchence’s shadow has loomed large over the band.

Tina Hutchence.s scathing criticism of how the miniseries Inxs: Never Tear Us Apart portrayed her half-brother Michael and their family has puzzled screenwriter Justin Monjo.
Monjo, who co-wrote the Shine Australia drama with Dave Warner, hasn.t watched or read Tina.s interviews but insists the show is respectful of Michael and based on interviews with the surviving band members.
.I don.t know what she said but I don.t know how anyone would be upset,. Monjo told If today. .We did not interview her or her brother Rhett. The story was about the band and they were not part of the journey of these six guys.
.It is a respectful story of who Michael was an artist, how good his music was, and what he did for the band. I think anyone who saw it would think he was a wonderful musician who died tragically. You just had to like him.

Melbourne, Feb 17: Late Inxs singer Michael Hutchence's half sister has slammed Channel 7's two-part series 'Inxs: Never Tear Us Apart' on the band, claiming that the telemovie left her feeling "angry and sad for her brother, because it's a complete fabrication of their family".
Tina Hutchence told Nova 100's Meshel Laurie that Michael is the only Aussie so far who has become a bona fide rock star on the international stage as far as she knows, and she thinks that they really owed it to the public to give a true account of the Inxs rise and fall, News.com.au reported.
Tina asserted that the channel certainly owed it to Michael and his family and friends to do better than their soap opera.
In 1997, Hutchence was.

Producer Trevor Field and executive producer Robert Lewis Galinsky are continuing to develop the movie Two Worlds Colliding, the story of Michael Hutchence, despite parting ways with Hutchence.s sister Tina.
The Los Angeles .based Tina confirmed the split in an email to If, stating, .We just did not have the same vision for the project.. Tina indicated she is working with a Sydney scriptwriter whom she declined to name, adding, .We have something to be proud of."
Field negotiated an option to the book Just a Man -The Real Michael Hutchence, by Tina Hutchence and her mother Patricia Glassop. Tina was offered the role of associate producer initially. Field and Galinsky wrote the treatment and Galinsky is the executive producer.
Field tells If the screenplay is based partly on the book but also on his own research and observations on the circumstances of Hutchence.s death in a Sydney hotel in 1997, and the aftermath.
