Michael Jackson movie

Whatever happened to Michael Jackson? Nobody seems to talk about him any more. Someone should make a movie about that guy, the “King of Pop.”

Oh wait, good news. Via Hollywood Reporter: Sony has secured the rights to release “This Is It,” a film using footage of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for his “This Is It” tour.

Sony is paying concert promoter AEG Live and Jackson’s estate $60 million for the footage, which will be presented in HD, with some sequences in 3D, when it hits theaters Oct. 30. The film is being directed by Kenny Ortega, who was directing the concert and who also helmed the “High School Musical” movies.

This is it. Whew.
