Sony Pictures and Sony Music, in a news release, stated that the Michael Jackson “This Is It” documentary will be released two days earlier than previously stated and will have a limited two-week run. The film will open in movie theaters on October 28 and tickets go on sale Sept. 27 in most areas.

The documentary draws from more than 100 hours of  behind the scenes and rehearsal footage, taken between April and June, as Michael Jackson prepared for his concerts in London. Kenny Ortega,  the choreographer and director who was working with Michael Jackson on the planned “This Is It” concert tour, will be directing the movie.

Sony is in final negotiations to acquire the rehearsal footage for Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” concert tour, which will be made into a feature film. Sony and AEG Live have set the release date for the film for October 30th.

According to Hollywood Reporter, the price negotiated is $60 million, out of which 90% will go into the Michael Jackson estate and 10% to AEG. The estate includes Michael Jackson’s children and his mother, plus a charity that will be formed under Michael Jackson’s name.

This will be an opportunity for fans to see what Michael Jackson had planned for his comeback concert tour as well as his final days before his sudden death.
