New Zealanders may be among the first in the world to see Michael Jackson's posthumous concert movie. The way has been cleared for This is It, a movie showing Jackson in his last days rehearsing for his planned London comeback concerts, after an agreement between Sony Pictures Entertainment, AEG Live and the Jackson family.
The international release date is October 30 meaning New Zealand fans may be able to see the movie before their counterparts in the rest of the world.
The movie footage will be drawn from hundreds of hours of rehearsal in Los Angeles and will include 3D sequences. It will feature a career retrospective and interviews with some of Jackson's friends and collaborators.
It's expected the film will have a two-week limited season release in New Zealand.
