The Michael Jackson Movie 10-30-09
Sony Pictures is finalizing a deal to acquire rehearsal footage from Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert run, with hopes of releasing it in theaters just in time for Halloween. Sony is reportedly payed close to $60 million for the 80 hours of rehearsal footage. The footage was currently owned by AEG Entertainment, who were promoting Jackson’s run of 50 shows at London’s O2 Arena. “High School Musical” director Kenny Ortega, who shot the rehearsal footage, will also assemble the film. The film will feature “at least three” videos, including an alternative version of “Thriller,” which was intended to be an interstitial video during Jackson’s O2 shows. That video was meant to play in 3-D, but it is not known if it will be presented that way in the feature film. The Jackson family estate is expected to collect 90 percent of what’s left after AEG recoups its production costs for the tour. AEG is planning on recouping the money they lost after Jackson’s death, including the $85 million in ticket refunds! Are you excited to see the movie?
