I’m going to see Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ tonight provided I can get tickets for it.
Michael Jackson's This Is It is a 2009 American concert film documenting Michael Jackson's rehearsals of the concert series of the same name (scheduled to start on July 13, 2009, but cancelled because of his death on June 25, 2009), both on stage and behind the scenes. The film shows Jackson mentoring his team for the 50 shows, as well as him creating, developing, and ultimately staging the high-tech performances. The footage was filmed at The Forum and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Despite originally being set for an October 30, 2009 release date, the film's release date was rescheduled for October 28, 2009, with a limited two-week run. Tickets went on sale a month early on September 27, 2009, to satisfy a high anticipated demand.
Really can’t wait although I got a bit teary watching a trailer for this being the die hard MJ fan that I am.

I'm a huge fan so really enjoyed it and cried through it and even for the sceptics who don’t think he was all that, this film really showcases his talent.
It was basically the footage of rehersals for the concerts that were due to take place in London next year. The film detailed some of how the dancers were chosen and also showed how some of the songs had had videos reshot with special effects, fireworks, 3D etc all included in them
I go to the cinema a lot as I have a pass that allows you to watch as many films as you want for a monthly fee and go to see all the big movies as well as world cinema and this was the first film I have been in which the audience applauded and cheered at the end.
I would go and see it again.
