This Is It.

In just three words, Michael Jackson managed to say it all.

Right there in one willfully dramatic phrase, Jackson somehow promised everything -- a grand farewell, a new beginning and a thrilling return to form that would offer a sense of completion if not finality. It was a phrase that meant many things to Jackson: it would be not just a curtain call, but a call to arms, a call for more love in the world.

This Is It.

In his own distinctive and idiosyncratic way, Michael Jackson had always been an instinctively great communicator. He was, after all, such a singularly brilliant vocalist that he could magically lend universal meaning even to those curiously expressive mystery syllables that the rest of us could never even define. Now with just three simple words, Jackson managed to communicate so much yet again. Thats the same thing Michael Jackson had done time and time again for decades as he gave soulful voice to some of the most beloved and familiar songs ever to be recorded -- both the ones that he wrote and the ones that he made his own forever just by the act of singing them.

Then in the wake of Michael Jacksons sudden and tragic death at the age of only 50 on June 25, 2009, the meaning of this strangely powerful phrase changed in one terrible instant that reverberated all around the world. This Is It suddenly seemed destined to become the sadly empty promise of a truly global happening that could never happen due to one horrible and historic twist of fate. For Michael Jacksons children, family and closest associates, they had lost a father, a brother, a son, and a friend. For the rest of us, we lost a cultural icon, a popular legend, and even a King.


The movie, a collection of footage from rehearsals for the 50 London shows he had planned to do in July before his untimely death in June, will hit screens across the world on October 27th and 28th.

Audiences in cities including Los Angeles, London, New York and Berlin, Germany will be able to see the film at the same time, according to a spokesperson for Sony Pictures.

Chairman Jeff Black says, "Michael Jackson has an army of fans everywhere around the world... we are giving the audiences an incredible opportunity to join together in celebration of Michael Jackson's incredible career."

The picture will have a limited two-week run in theatres, and bosses at AEG Live, the concert company behind the footage, are donating the majority of the film's profits to the Jackson Family Trust.
