Looks like the world has missed one helluva concert. Whatever cynicism one might harbor about this Hail Mary piece of cinema -- which can be called the first コンサート rehearsal movie ever -- it's a strange yet strangely beguiling film that captures one of pop culture's great entertainers in the feverish grips of pure creativity. The screen is filled with performers, musicians, choreographers, crew members and craftsmen, but the movie's laserlike focus is on Michael Jackson. あなた understand what it takes to attain such dizzying heights in entertainment, and perhaps why he chose to stay away for a decade.
Following its simultaneous premieres Tuesday, the film will open on もっと見る than 3,400 domestic screens along with 96 in Imax theaters and another 27 internationally for a two-week run. That run will be extended if demand is there. Demand will be there.
In case someone just dropped in from Mars, "This Is It" was to be 50-year-old Jackson's comeback, a planned run of 50 sold-out concerts that were to take place at London's O2 Arena over the summer, all of which came to a sudden and tragic end with the performer's death June 25.
Kenny Ortega, the director of the stage show, has put together this movie from 120 hours of digital-video footage -- for which Sony reportedly paid $60 million -- taken during rehearsals at Staples Center in Los Angeles between March and June of this 年 along with casting sessions at the Nokia Theatre and video sequences filmed on the Sony lot.
What strikes あなた is how thoroughly professional, even slick, the footage is. Whatever it was intended for -- a making-of doc to accompany the コンサート DVD または a テレビ show? -- this is no footage rounded up from the crew's cell phones. Interviews with the cast, musicians and production personnel further underscore a clear intent to go public with this material.
Whatever the case, how fascinating it is to watch a huge, complicated コンサート take shape. Make no mistake, this was a 表示する intended for a stadium with a dazzling, mixed-media staging. One can even imagine a 音楽 critic in ロンドン fuming about overproduced numbers that don't trust Jackson's great song catalog to deliver the goods.
On the other hand, this production might have been just right in scale for the O2 Arena. Dancers pop up through trap doors in elevators operating at "toaster speed." A bulldozer rumbles onstage for a "green" number about saving rain forests.
Shooting in front of a Sony greenscreen, 11 male dancers are transformed into 11 million. Jackson gets mixed into old, black-and-white movie footage so he can admire Rita Hayworth's wiggle in front of an orchestra and dance around bullets shot によって Edward Robinson and Humphrey Bogart.
スプリット, 分割 screens convey Jackson, nearly always in sunglasses, performing the same number in different days with different wardrobes and different approaches. There's no 質問 who the director is here. Jackson is in complete control. Ortega watches over the production while Jackson manages every moment onstage. His directions are almost poetic. About the tempo of one number, he instructs, "It's like you're dragging yourself out of bed." Another time, he says, "It has to simmer."
The audience at the Nokia premiere didn't seem to know how to react to rehearsal footage. They giggled nervously at missed cues and interruptions. To be clear: No one should expect a コンサート film. Jackson clearly is conserving his energy, holding back on dance moves and vocal intensity. He is searching for his concert, the way a sculptor chisels away at marble to discover a statue.
Interestingly, two of his best songs, "Billie Jean" and "Man in the Mirror," look like they were going to be staged simply. Then again, perhaps Ortega is 表示中 early footage before the addition of dancers and singers. There's no way to tell.
The frustration -- beyond the greater one, that a tragedy prevented this コンサート from happening -- is not knowing what you're looking at. Where are Jackson and his conspirators at any 与えられた moment in the creative process? The film tries to be a コンサート film without having the actual footage. So when everything comes to a halt, audiences get thrown.
"This Is It" is not a "sacred document," as Ortega asserted to the Nokia crowd. But it is a fascinating one. It shows a songwriter-performer who knows his material intimately. Although not always certain what he wants, he knows it immediately when he gets it. At one point, Ortega asks his 星, つ星 how he will see a certain cue onstage. Jackson pauses and then says, "I'll feel that."
And あなた know he would have.

Michael Jackson could live again on the big screen -- TMZ has learned a former Jackson associate is trying to ショップ around a full-length movie featuring unseen rehearsal footage from MJ's 1981 コンサート series.
The man behind the deal is Ron Newt -- who claims he was so close with Michael, that the singer gave him special behind-the-scenes footage from Jackson's 1981 Triumph Tour.
Now, after seeing the success of "This Is It " -- Newt tells TMZ he's put together a 64-minute feature film from his footage ... which includes several candid moments involving MJ and his brothers. Michael can also be seen dancing, 歌う and directing the stage production.
Newt tells us he's already getting offers from several interested parties -- with proposals reaching into seven figures.

Dr. Conrad Murray won't just face the judge in his manslaughter case on Monday -- we're told an army of MJ ファン plans a little surprise of its own ... in the protest department.
A rep for Justice4MJ -- the ファン group planning the demonstration -- tells TMZ that scores of Jackson ファン plan to attend ... and it's all going down on the freeway overpass near the L.A. courthouse.
We're told when the hearing ends ... the protesters plan to march from the courthouse -- then quickly スプリット, 分割 for the overpasses as Murray makes his exit. They will bid Dr. Murray adieu as he drives off -- probably not in the friendliest of ways.
But we're guessing the protest is the least of Dr. Murray's worries.

A poem I dedicated to Michael .
I woke up one day, I found at あなた were gone
and now I'm sitting here listening to
this sad song.
When I look at the sky at night, I wonder
If I could see あなた one 日 in heaven, I can
Feel your presence seven days a week, you’re
In my dreams, they seem to be real until I wake up
And my ハート, 心 is hurting
Wherever あなた are, I feel あなた close no matter
How far または how near
Why did あなた go? One 日 I will know,
あなた never 発言しました goodbye,
There must be a reason why, that’s why I cry
I woke up one day, I found at あなた were gone
and now I'm sitting here listening to
this sad song.
When I look at the sky at night, I wonder
If I could see あなた one 日 in heaven, I can
Feel your presence seven days a week, you’re
In my dreams, they seem to be real until I wake up
And my ハート, 心 is hurting
Wherever あなた are, I feel あなた close no matter
How far または how near
Why did あなた go? One 日 I will know,
あなた never 発言しました goodbye,
There must be a reason why, that’s why I cry
