The movie will be released for two weeks only, starting on October 28 and tickets willl go on sale an entire month early. It will consist of rehearsal and documentary footage primarily recorded at two Los Angeles area indoor stadiums (The Forum in Inglewood and the Staples Center downtown) documenting the preparations for Michael Jackson’s planned series of extravagant, Cirque du Soliel-style shows in London.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It

This trailer is cut way too fast for my taste and I feel almost certain the movie will be on the maudlin side, but I have to say that the footage of the actual show I’ve seen so far has surprised and impressed me. I had made some incorrect assumptions about where Jackson was creatively. Even if new music apparently eluded him since 2001, his dancing and sense of showmanship seems to have been more than intact in the days prior to his death.
