Thriller 40th Anniversary

They've really messed up with the timing of this documentary, the moment has passed. They should have seized that post Thriller 40 pre Christmas gap

Now it'll get lost in the shuffle of the biopic news. I'd love them just to scrap the doc, but release the new footage on the YouTube channel. Extremely wishful thinking

What happened to the documentary?

Branca swallowed and ate it. He doesn't want anyone to have it so he came in the film studio one night said, give me the footage, and ate it. It was really inconvenient that it was only on one single tape; why are they even using a tape, what is this, 1977? Anyway, he hates us. Die mad.

It was really exagerating the story of the fate of the documentary.
 
Disney ain't gonna touch this with a 10 foot pole. So obviously, ABC/Disney+/Hulu is out.

HBO Max hates new content nowadays don't it.

Peacock is just NBC on steroids.

And Netflix, I would boycott just for the principle.

There really isn't many options now to be fair. Just put it on YouTube with ads please.

if this information is true, it will be on brand for Michael. showtime aired ‘the legend continues’.
although I’m slightly disappointed with the delay, I’m glad that time is being taken to properly edit the documentary, and make it the best it can be.

Did they say anything specific about a new release date?
 
Showtime... I don't have that. Don't think they are in Denmark at all?

But the tweet doe not seem very official? - So I am still waiting for official news. And the nhopefully it will be aired 10-14 days after the annoncement. Don't want to wait any more. And the entire T40 campaign (if there ever was one...) is dead. So really the doc comes waaay to late anyway. I see no way it will boost sales og increase interest in T40 now. - Maybe the original Thriller album, but not T40.

Hope they have heard the feedback and realized that live and studio footage was what most people enjoyed and then edited more of that into the finale doc we all getto see.
 
They shouldn't call the documentary Thriller 40-docu anyway, just documentation on Making of Thriller-album. I think it should be a timeless documentary that can be shown again and again for replay as the Thriller album is always current. In principle, it can help to establish Thriller as a permanent charter or that the album is always back in the charts. The charts only show Thriller anyway, no matter which Thriller album is bought and ultimately this is only in the interest of Thriller's success.

Totally agree.

The making of Thriller title is already used... But then they could release is alongside The making of Thriller.

I hope the doc gets a timeless name and not T40. BAD25 should just have been Making of BAD. - OTW did not have a number attached. Hope the same goes for the Thriller doc.

I just responded to what was posted here. I have no inside information I’m afraid..

we don’t have showtime in the uk either. however, it’s likely that the documentary will be distributed through different networks internationally, whether that’s through television, online streaming, or physical release. the past two documentaries were shown on the bbc💜 - which I was able to see. unfortunately due to the brief profanity, it was shown after watershed, limiting its audience 🙁 I really hope this isn’t a problem for ‘thriller 40’, for many reasons..
