Michael Jackson’s hit ‘Thriller’ is to be turned into a movie, according to reports. Several Hollywood studios are said to be interested in adapting Jackson’s classic 1982 single. Deadline reports that choreographer Kenny Ortega is expected to direct, while The Hangover’s Jeremy Garelick will write the screenplay. The plot will apparently focus on the song’s history, including the childhood of Vincent Price, who raps the track’s voice-over.
Any film will be subject to the agreement of Michael Jackson’s estate of course. There has already been one Jackson film since his death. This Is It charted the making of his ill-fated comeback gigs.
Regardless of who you are and what sort of music genre we promise is our favourite, everyone has a personal favourite Jackson song, but i’m quite sure that, and for me this film is bordering on it, too many films about him are going to saturate the local cinema’s and quickly become made in bad taste. This is only loosely a film about Jackson. A film about the making of another film, that had him in it…Really, come on. I wonder Who will play John Landis.
There are so many Bon Jovi fans in the world and to tell you the truth im not really sure why. Anyways Showtime have just acquired the Bon Jovi documentary called “When we were beautiful”.
Showtime will premier the documentary on October the 24th. Directed by filmmaker and photographer Phil Griffin, the documentary was filmed on the road and behind the scenes during the band’s 2008 Lost Highway World Tour, which closed with a big concert in New York City’s Central Park.
Superior court judge Mitchell Beckloff has approved a three way deal between Micheal Jackson’s estate, tour/concert promoters AEG live and Columbia Pictures who are interested in making a movie of the pop stars final rehearsals.
The project, that was given a thumbs on 7th August, will be a collaboration of hundreds of hour the singers backstage rehearsals for venues in Los-Angeles and some footage of his preparations for what was intended to be his 50 date London comeback tour.
Columbia have announced that the film is scheduled to be released on 30th October and have forked out $6o million for the rights for the film. Some of the film will reportedly be in 3D, well, lets hope in doesn’t turn into another moon-walker!
Im always excited to see new music video ideas and here is one that probably goes one step further than OK Go on treadmills. The song is called Baby Baby Baby by Make The Girl Dance, and it features a series of models strutting their stuff naked down a Paris street. Maybe you will also notice that the words to the song are flashing on the black boxes that are strategically placed over the girls.
Im sure this tracks will cause a bit of a stir and get lots of airplay, especially on MTV Dance!
