The trailer for Sony's upcoming Michael Jackson documentary "This Is It" has finally hit the Web, and you can check it out after the jump. The Kenny Ortega-directed film will hit theaters Oct. 28, 2009 for a limited two-week run.
The film will include scenes drawn from hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage captured in high definition as Jackson geared up for his concert series in London. The majority of the film's footage was shot in June 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and The Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
The overload of news coverage surrounding Jackson's death really started to annoy me lately, but I admit I'm walking into this film expecting to get one sold final look at what this guy was so famous for in the first place. The trailer, at least, looks promising.
BTW, the Estate of Michael Jackson, administered by Jackson's longtime attorney John Branca and veteran music executive John McClain, announced their full support for "This Is It."
