The Michael Jackson movie `This Is It` will be even bigger with news that the film will also screen in selected IMAX theatres.
‘This Is It’ will have a two week run in theatres around the world from October 28 with a few select cities also scoring previews on October 26 and 27."The combination of the never seen before rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson preparing for his sold-out London concerts, more than 25 world premieres and special IMAX engagements makes this a once-in-a-lifetime event for moviegoers, music lovers and Michael Jackson fans," said Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Releasing.
"The rollout of our new digital IMAX locations is expanding the range and frequency of IMAX content available to moviegoers worldwide," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "Our partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment is growing with our theatre network, and we're looking forward to continued success with them as we open more theatres and release more films."
‘This Is It’ captures the final month of Jackson’s life from March through to June 2009 while Michael was rehearsing for his 50-date run of ‘This Is It’ shows in London.
Sony will release the ‘This Is It’ soundtrack album next month featuring the title track, a brand new song from Michael with new backing vocals added by his brothers, The Jacksons.
