Sony Pictures is in talks to make a feature film using the 80 hours of Michael Jackson‘s rehearsal footage prepping for his performance in London.
The studio is expected to pay upwards of $50 million for global rights to AEG Entertainment, the owners of the footage.
The film will feature at least three videos that were to be used as vignettes during the London shows, including a 3-D version of Thriller.
High School Musical director Kenny Ortega, who also shot the rehearsal footage and was helming the concert, is expected to direct the feature in hopes of releasing it before the end of the year.
Will U see the Michael Jackson concert in theaters?!
Duh, of course you will!
