Michael Jackson Concert Movie Gets Release Date
August 11th, 2009
Sony Pictures and The Estate of Michael Jackson announced Monday (August 10) that they will release a full-length movie, based on rehearsal footage of the King of Pop’s comeback tour, called This Is It on October 30.
According to a statement, the film “will be drawn from hundreds of hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage, captured in high definition with state-of-the-art digital sound as the late singer was preparing for his concert series in London. The film, which will also offer select sequences in 3-D, will provide a unique career retrospective and feature interviews with some of Jackson’s closest friends and creative collaborators.”
Jackson’s longtime attorney and administer of his estate said, “Our goal is to work with partners who treat Michael’s legacy with dignity and respect… This film is not only a tribute to an artist who created excitement every moment he was on stage, but also is a fitting gift to the millions of fans worldwide who loved him and who he devoted his professional life to entertaining.”

where was everyone when he was in debt? the stress killed him. now everyone wants to make money for their own pockets off his back. now everyone cares for his kids. everyone wants to be a part of what’s left of him. when he was alive he was pulled apart by the press and so called friends. now he is dead they praise him…fucking hypocrites.
