Seriously. Ian is full of it. I have no interest in seeing this at all.


Me either.


Be interested to know if anyone else has read Ian's book? I did and whilst I found parts of it to be sensationalist for sensationalist sake there were parts that did seem to give a fair insight. I also thought it interesting that right up front he says he set out to do a hatchet job and PROVE michael was guilty - but that the more he digged the more he found evidence that proved his innocence, and made he rethink the whole thing.

Anyone else read it?

Michael Jackson’s Thriller to go 3-D?



Thriller director John Landis has announced that the Michael Jackson estate want to release a 3-D version of the 1983 video.
Although unclear whether the film would be released in theatres or on DVD, the announcement has Jackson fans excited. The Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller became the world’s biggest-selling VHS musical on its original release. Landis confirmed a DVD version is planned for release soon.

More info from someone who attended the John Landis Q&A:


THE RETURN OF THRILLER... IN 3D?

http://chud.com/articles/...Page1.html

This week John Landis appeared at the BFI in London, and I was lucky enough to be in the audience. After a showing of his fantastic car salesman doc, Slasher, Landis sat down to talk about his entire career, relaying anecdotes from his thirty plus years in the business, and his jobs that ranged from stuntman to director and everything in between.

During the audience Q&A someone asked Landis if The Making of Thriller would ever be hitting DVD, and he confirmed that the hour long doc, along with the remastered longform video, would be coming soon. There have been lawsuits and royalty issues holding up any further releases, and although Landis didn't say they had all been cleared up, he did make it seem as though Jackson's death had presented an opportunity for the sides to come together and hash things out.

But more intriguing than news of a home video release was Landis telling the crowd that the folks behind Jackson's estate want to turn the video into 3D. The director is fine with the idea, even if he doesn't seem to be the biggest fan of the tech, but it wasn't clear if the 3D version of Thriller was intended for theatrical distribution. One assumes that's the basic plan, as 3D TVs don't have the kind of saturation into the market needed to make a 3D Blu-Ray of the video all that worthwhile.

How a theatrical release of a 3D Thriller would work is beyond me; the video was specially screened with Disney's Fantasia to qualify it for the Oscars in 1983, but it's way too short to work on its own, and it's unlikely anyone would want to sit through The Making of Thriller at a movie theater. But could this be just one segment of a movie made up of 3D versions of Michael Jackson videos? That's sheer speculation on my part, mind you, but it does seem like something that could rake in some more money. And you don't make Thriller 3D without the main intention of making more money.

I'm sure MJ has way more music than that, but I also think that a lot of his music that's copyrighted wasn't actually recorded, just written lyrics.

Nope which means we're gonna see Motown release unreleased material in the next couple of years to probably compete with the Sony releases like they did in the 80s lol

Yeah, more like off-the-wall kind of rhythms, about 22-25 songs were written and recorded with Rodney, he said MJ didn't release the best on purpose, for Sony to pay $250 million on unreleased stuff then they must be something special….we will see.

Those fans who have rare unreleased stuff better share them with the fans soon, In the near future they will be Worthless, and every penny they paid to get them has gone in vain.

didnt jerkins recently said the first batch of songs was more off the wall thriller kind of beats , and afer a year of work mike scrapped it all( how tormenting must that have been for for jerkins)


Yeah, more like off-the-wall kind of rhythms, about 22-25 songs were written and recorded with Rodney, he said MJ didn't release the best on purpose, for Sony to pay $250 million on unreleased stuff then they must be something special….we will see.

Those fans who have rare unreleased stuff better share them with the fans soon, In the near future they will be Worthless, and every penny they paid to get them has gone in vain.
lol



yeah i remember both jackson and jerkins saying he didnt release his best from those sessions. when asked if was proud of the outcome of vince'he replied i wish there was some stuff on it that isnt . and they need to re release it.

but then again i found that album not very apealing so his opinion of better might be exaggerated. i hope not , i hope those songs actually contribute to his legacy as lost classics. but im afraid it isnt

I remember that too. I've seen people say "Well, Invincible is his worst" and that he couldn't come up with anything better, but that comment Rodney made is always in the back of my mind.....

Then we hear stuff like A Place With No Name, Beautiful Girl, and Fall Again and that indicates that some really good stuff was left off the album
