Konzertfilm von SONY Pictures "This Is It" // News / Updates / Talk

    Diese Double-Story kommt zufällig 2 Tage vor der Weltpremiere raus. Dass ich nicht lache.


    Hätte man im Sommer mit Doubles Extra-Szenen gedreht, wäre das alles viel früher ans Licht gekommen.
    Außerdem hätte man für Gruppenszenen die anderen Tänzer auch nochmal dabei haben müssen, und die hätten sich für so eine Verarsche bestimmt nicht hergegeben.


    Das ist garantiert nur ein Promo-Gag, der wahrscheinlich von SONY und Konsorten selbst erfunden wurde.

    MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON BROTHER LOVES THIS IS IT FILM


    MICHAEL JACKSON's brother JACKIE has become the first member of the family to give the late star's concert rehearsal movie THIS IS IT a seal of approval after watching the film last week (ends23Oct09).
    Jackie saw This Is It on Thursday (22Oct09), and was impressed with his tragic sibling's last ever stage performance.
    He tells TMZ.com, "My brother's movie is truly riveting. Michael is electrifying! We get a glimpse of a true genius at work."
    But Jackie is one of the few Jacksons who will see the film, which will hit cinemas this week (beg26Oct09) - sister La Toya has confirmed she and many of her family members won't be seeing the movie.
    Another person who has already seen the feature is longtime Jackson friend Elizabeth Taylor, who raved about it.
    She hosted a screening earlier this month (Oct09) and led an ovation as the end credits rolled. She was overheard saying, "The film was pure genius."

    JACKIE JACKSON: This Is It ist fesselnd


    Film + TV - Montag, Oktober 26, 2009 - 08:37


    LOS ANGELES - ""This Is It" ist fesselnd!" Das sagte jetzt Jackie Jackson. Der älteste Bruder von Michael Jackson erklärte, er habe den Film bereits gesehen. Gegenüber "tmz.com" zog er ein Fazit. Dies hörte sich so an: "Der Film meines Bruders ist fesselnd. Michael ist elektrisierend. Wir bekommen eine Ahnung von seinem enormen Genie. Seine leidenschaftliche Botschaft, die Welt zu heilen, den Planeten zu schützen und die Zukunft unserer Kinder zu sichern, war etwas, für das er Zeit seines Lebens gekämpft hat." Übrigens: Katherine Jackson, die Mutter des King of Pop, will "This Is It" wohl nicht sehen. Insider berichten, Katherine habe es bisher abgelehnt die letzten Bilder ihres Sohnes anzuschauen.


    "This Is It" läuft weltweit am kommenden Mittwoch (28.10.) an. Der Streifen läuft aber nur zwei Wochen in den Kinos.

    Q&A: Director Kenny Ortega on Michael Jackson's This Is It

    On June 25th, Michael Jackson's longtime collaborator Kenny Ortega had little time to comprehend his friend's death, let alone grieve over it. Hollywood's hottest choreographer/director went from preparing Jackson's 50-date London concert series to setting the paces of the pop-star's star-studded memorial to directing the behind-the-scenes film of Jackson's rehearsals for the ill-fated tour. This Is It opens on Oct. 28 for a limited two-week run with a simultaneous premiere in 15 cities around the world. Ortega spoke to TIME about the film, which he calls "the last sacred footage of a real master at his craft."



    TIME: When you first heard the news of Michael's death, you thought it was an Internet hoax.

    Ortega: We were there waiting for Michael at the rehearsal. The night before he had said, I'll see you tomorrow and I love you all. He was very happy. We were rehearsing a big moment of the show that Michael was really excited about: an illusion we had designed together with one of David Copperfield's illusion builders. It was a big day for us. We had two incredible rehearsals the night before where Michael had stepped it up. There was a whole new energy in the room. For me the news was just an internal collapse. Some people there had been with Michael since he was a kid. You can imagine the sorrow and the shock that all of us felt. It was a difficult, sad and dark day.



    Michael never wanted to be just a version of himself on stage. Is he at the top of his game in this film?


    Oh yeah. You see it. It's effortless. These dancers were half Michael's age and younger, yet he was still blowing them away. It was wonderful to watch. He was the dance. I've never seen anyone better than Michael at telling their body to just accept the music and allow their soul to take over. There are moments in the film when he's jamming and it's just gorgeous.



    You've worked with everyone from Gene Kelly to Patrick Swayze. How does Michael compare?


    Patrick Swayze reminded me a lot of Gene Kelly. Patrick had that everyman quality. Gene made dancing sort of an accessible idea for the regular guy out there. I felt Michael Jackson was inspired a little bit more from the elegance of a Fred Astaire. Michael loved Sammy Davis Jr. and James Brown and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. But he wasn't any of those people. To be inspired is one thing, but he made it all his own.



    The turnaround was pretty amazing on this film, wasn't it?


    When I was first asked to direct this, [Sony] said they wanted it for Michael's birthday [August 29] and I said, No thank you. That's not going to happen. If you were talking Halloween, which was Michael's favorite holiday, I might be able to connect with that. We started at the end of July and I turned the movie over to them in early October. We worked seven days a week every single week. We were able to accomplish a lot in a labor-of-love project.



    That's a lot of Red Bull.


    I'm a Diet Pepsi man myself. And I like a good strong cup of coffee on hour 14 and a half.



    You trimmed 120 hours of footage to 111 minutes. Is the 111 some Michael numerology thing or purely a Mayan sign of the apocalypse?


    That's fun. I do like that number. Michael was the one and number one. I'm going to put that on my Twitter. Everywhere I look there's meaning being read into it. People can't help themselves when it comes to Michael Jackson.



    Security around this film was so tight that armed guards brought a clip to Oprah. What kind of heat where they packing?


    I didn't see anyone packing heat on Oprah. She did say that though, didn't she? Yeah, like it was a guy with an Uzi and a couple of hand grenades. No, but we had security all the time whenever we were transferring anything even from one building to another building at Sony. Whenever you went into any place where there was Michael Jackson footage at Sony it was like going through homeland security.



    What's the one moment you witnessed during the concert preparation that you wished you filmed?

    I don't know if you want it on film, but it's something I'll run through my head for the rest of my life. I was in his dressing room one night going over some artwork and Michael was behind me saying my name. At first very softly. Kenny, Kenny. I said, What are you doing? He said, I'm saying your name, am I saying it right? Michael is from Indiana and the way he said my name wasn't quite like anyone else. I guess the reason he questioned it was because I always smiled when he said it. I said, of course you're saying my name right, I love the way you say it. When you say my name it makes me smile. And he said, Good — when I say Kenny it means friend. He was a special man.
