Three songs, "Breaking News," "Keep Your Head Up," and "Monster" are believed to be fake Jackson songs that were performed by an impersonator and fans are understandably pretty angry. In other Michael Jackson news, the singer's posthumous 2010 album, Michael, is currently in the spotlight. Hopefully, the team will reunite to remaster Captain EO as well, giving fans an awesome double feature of Jackson's big screen work. Nothing has been added to the film, it has only been cleaned up and given the 3D treatment. Branca and McClain call the new version a "modern day technical enhancement," of the original. John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson, state that fans are going to love the new Thriller 3D.
"We're excited moviegoers will be able to see the iconic Michael Jackson's Thriller exclusively in larger-than-life IMAX, a truly special experience that audiences won't want to miss alongside Amblin's launch of Eli Roth's fantastical The House with a Clock in Its Walls." Greg Foster, CEO of IMAX Entertainment and Senior Executive Vice President, released a statement talking about his excitement in bringing Thriller 3D to the big screen. Rumors of Thriller 3D have been circulating for years, but it was confirmed late last year when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival.Īfter Optimum Productions and John Landis were finished with Thriller 3D, the project was sent to IMAX to go through its proprietary digital re-mastering process (IMAX DMR), which optimizes the images and remixes the soundtrack for playback in IMAX theatres so fans can experience Michael Jackson's Thriller to the fullest. The 3D screenings will play before Eli Roth's The House with a Clock in Its Walls, which will certainly help its box office numbers. Thriller 3D will only be in theaters for one week, beginning September 21st, 2018. While this is truly exciting news for Michael Jackson fans, there is a catch. Optimum Productions brought Landis in and together they supervised an elaborate and labor intensive process that began with the original 35mm film negative from Jackson's archives and resulted in a 3D conversion of the acclaimed short using the latest available technology. The iconic short film is an important piece of Jackson's legacy and was remastered and converted to 3D last year under the supervision of director John Landis. With all the industry’s changes, one wonders who will top this list in another 20 years.In honor of what would have been Michael Jackson's 60th birthday, his estate and IMAX theaters have announced that Thriller 3D is hitting theaters for the first time ever. Longtime chairman and CEO Cary Sherman is retiring after over 20 years with the organization, leaving behind an admirable legacy as a true music champion as an advocate for empowering music to thrive in the digital marketplace.
