This Is The Poster For This Is It
Michael Jackson movie on its way

This Is The Poster For This Is It

Here's a Thriller for us all - the brand new poster for the posthumous Michael Jackson concert movie This Is It is online, and it doesn't look so Bad.

With the tag line 'Like You've Never Seen Him Before', it looks like we will bear witness to the most intimate look at the King of Pop in his final days.

The movie looks back at the HIStory of Jacko's ambitious fifty date residency at London's 02 Arena, hastily put together from rehearsal footage shot by High School Musical impressario Kenny Ortega, following the once Invincible singer's demise.


This Is It hits cinemas on October 28.

I couldn't care less about this. This is not a "movie". Move on to some actual news. This is the sort of thing that should be shown as a special on a music channel on sky, not in the cinemas. ... Read More

Shameful...
...for AEG using this to try and claw some money back, and for Empire reporting this as straight movie news. 90 minutes of puff piece does not a movie make. And the poster? Whack a stock Jackson silhouette over some collage of the rehearsal stage, add a bit of smoke and text and everyone's bowled over...weird. ... Read More

Surely the movie should be called "That Was That". More shameless cashing in by AEG and whoever else is involveed. I personally recommend a visit to play.com and search for michael jackson glove. Classy ... Read More

I agree; ace poster, but the title sounds a bit weird, and 'like you've never seen him before', doesn't necceserily mean in a good way. ... Read More
