The music video was more a horror short, but it worked so well, and it gave me, as I’m sure it did you, a ticket into the world of horror. It was amazing, and kudos to John Landis for bringing such musical horrors to our screens around the globe.
Now, I’m sure you guys are aware of the many debts that Michael Jackson owed, and while he sadly past away a few years back, all debts have been worked through his estate. One being a deal concerning John Landis and producer George Folsey Jr.concerning net profits on the late singer’s “Thriller” video as well as other planned actions.
Well, it seems as if things are moving forward very nicely as a statement was recently released to The Hollywood Reporter;
“The Estate of Michael Jackson, John Landis and George Folsey Jr. have reached an amicable settlement of the actions that were pending in the Los Angeles Superior Court relating to the legendary short motion picture Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ and the documentary The Making of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’ The settlement terms are confidential.”
So with that, I’m sure many of you are wondering just what this has to do with us. Well, the guys over at B-D recently did some digging and spoke with John Landis regarding this recent outcome, and he said;
“The Estate of Michael Jackson has been dealing with all of Michael’s debts and legal obligations and our complaint has finally been addressed,” Landis stated. “So now all is good and there will be exciting things happening with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” that I will be doing in collaboration with the Estate in the future.“
So with this, could it mean that we may see a proper ‘Thriller‘ release? Who knows, but it certainly seems as if the stage-play is now moving ahead and actually making headway.
Now the question is to you guys. Would you be interested in seeing a feature version of ‘Thriller‘, or is it past its time and we should just move on? Let us know what you guys think?
