Michael's 3-D footage stays under wraps
Shortly after Michael Jackson’s passing, word went out from the Sony camp that they had footage of Michael rehearsing for his big This Is It tour of Europe. Tantalisingly, we were informed that much of it was shot using the latest 3-D technologies.
Somewhere between the promise and reality, however, fortune has burped – and left *us* with the after-taste… Fans of the King of Pop will undoubtedly still be storming the box office for tickets, although the 3-D geeks amongst us will be left nursing bruised expectations.
This Is It releases on October 28th in the States, and on October 30th in South Africa. 3-D fans will hopefully find consolation in the fact that Jim Carrey’s The Christmas Carol opens in SA the following week in 3-D. This is about the 15th time that the Dickens classic has been made into a film – if one considers variations such as the Muppets take on the classic tale. It is, however, the first time that the tale will be told in 3-D. Go Dickens!
