AEG must be thanking their lucky stars that they filmed so much of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for his This Is It O2 concert series, and also that three short films were made for inclusion in the show, as it means they can now make This Is It, and potentially make back the money they lost when Jackson died. Now we’re not suggesting that the feature-length documentary that’s being edited together from the rehearsal footage and shorts is a little mercenary, but it’s certainly been a bit of a windfall. Now the first poster for the Jackson flick has appeared over at Yahoo Movies, and it’s actually rather cool. There’s a bit of a classic Jacko vibe to it, although we’ll have to wait and see whether the promise that it’ll show him, ‘Like You’ve Never Seen Him Beforr’, is true.
This Is It, which is currently being edited together from the rehearsal footage by High School Musical director Kenny Oretga (who was working with Jackson on the concerts), and is due in cinemas on October 28th. Take a look below for the poster, or head over the Yahoo Movies for a larger version.
