Michael Jackson Wanted Some Thriller 3D Action!
But while his cinematic achievements previously peaked with The Wiz, it doesn't mean that Michael Jackson didn't have ambitions for bigger film projects in the future. Director and friend Kenny Ortega recently explained that Michael had some amazing ideas for feature films, including a full length version of Thriller.
Says Ortega:
“He told me he wanted to create a partnership with me to do films. We were talking about doing Legs Diamond. And we were talking about doing a full-length, 3-D feature of Thriller. ”
Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures, also recalls sitting down with Michael to discuss a number of projects for him, including musical fantasy film called Midknight with Batman production designer Anton Furst (sadly, his suicide brought that idea to halt) and a remake of Red Shoes, a British musical based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a "ballet dancer whose compulsion to dance ultimately destroys any hope she once had of a normal life, leading to her tragic death."
Sound eerily familiar, huh?
If nothing else, we would love to see them put the original Thriller into 3D! That would be amazing!

"a British musical based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a "ballet dancer whose compulsion to dance ultimately destroys any hope she once had of a normal life, leading to her tragic death."' Sound eerily familiar, huh?"…..definitely.
quit pretending like you care, you never gave a shit before.
living in the perpetual past or what?
this freak did nothing since thriller, except get high and relive it and molest boys
while imagining he was some sort of successful musician
So sad we won't see any of his projects materialize! And the worst of all, we have to live with his loss while losers like "so emo it hurts" above,get to live another day.Life sucks!
Well all those projects can still happen even without MJ…Everything that has been done after he passed away was without him and many professionals have been involved…Moral of the story is that professionals will create professional work…
suicide?
Very well said "Moron"!!!!!! Love u michaeel
u can see the 3d version in the movie. I saw n loved it. If it was really got in the 80's then it's even better know.
Re: Moron – I was thinking the same about "so emo it hurts "
