I just saw the new EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert that is in theaters and it was just amazing. It was directed by Baz Luhrmann who made the biopic. Maybe Estate should try to get someone like Antoine Fuqua or Spike Lee to do something similar with Michael. Michael filmed hours and hours of 35mm footage behind the scenes and audience stuff included so I hope they can do it. If there just isn't a full concert then this is a good compromise. It can be a documentary at the same time. Bad Tour or Victory Tour maybe. The amazing HD footage seen in Thriller 40 documentary makes me think that Victory Tour could be the most likely one:


Here is trailer for Elvis:

When I saw The Beatles: Eight Days a Week at the cinema there was 30 mins of bonus footage at the end, which was a full concert (I think Shea Stadium).I don't think that footage was included on the home release.

The film is amazing, and I went to see it twice. But sadly MJ lip-synched so much over the years that most of his concert footage would be unusable.

That wouldn't be a problem with Victory and Bad Tour. Also we’ve barely seen any film footage from Dangerous Tour so its likely that tapes were mostly used to document it. It might not be the best choice for a cinema release.

MJ definitely needs some kind of concert performance type film/documentary to released in the IMAX format. I saw Prince's 'Sign 'O' The Times' concert film in IMAX several months back and while I had seen the film before, this was like a whole new experience. The picture and especially the sound were popping off so hard that I couldn't sit still, and neither could what little else of the audience there were in the auditorium that night. It was a late night screening and I almost had the place to myself! Being able to see MJ performing live in an environment like that on a large screen with that type of audio clarity would be a dream!

I did see EPiC but unfortunately the theater I saw it in was less than ideal and not what I would consider an optimal IMAX experience. I didn't have much of a choice since the film wasn't playing in any of the good theaters near me so I saw it in a nearly dead mall in another town with a theater that advertised it as 'IMAX'. It was essentially a standard auditorium with creaky seats that had been ghetto rigged to be 'IMAX'. It didn't look like it had been truly renovated since the 90s

The effort would never make the estate the coal runs through Mj one Show las Vegas the Mj Musical and upcoming biopic
 
A shame it has not been done given by some crazy coincidence all the popular concerts from 1984 to 1997 were subpar for the given year. People have yet to see how much of a great performer MJ truly was.
 
Yeah ! Not interested in watching Myles frost, Jafer Jackson, the guy who was behind the fake hologram or any other person playing Mike. Neither, interested in re-releases of Thriller or compilation of the old hits for the dozenth time.

At 46, I've made peace that, the only unseen footage and unreleased music we gonna get it, is through fan leaks. And I'm hoping that fans do a good job of Reimagining, Reconstructing, Remastering and finishing such content, as they've been doing compared to big name producers messing up his work like we've seen.
 
Yes agree that the Epic movie was really great and it would be cool if something similar
was done for the King Of Pop.
Sadly I have no reason to watch the Michael thing next month…I much rather watch things
like This Is It instead.

Is that ripped straight from the documentary? That audio is incredibly poor, I don't remember it being that bad!

its because it‘s from the original 35mm film camera negatives, not remixed via multi-tracks which they do have as well

Are we certain though? Why bother show in such amazing quality with awful audio. It's the Estate I know, but still.

because the audio is the one that was on the transfer and whoever edited it was not given access to the multi-tracks. they even used youtube AI upscaled uploads for videos which they have on tape so yea

That shouldn't be a reason for not releasing a concert in 4K. Maybe release it on Blu-ray/dvd only if the audio isn't good for a cinema release. The 35mm footage shouldn't be left to rot in some warehouse.

I know Sugarfoot and a couple others had several conversations with the Estate because they want them to release it

It's good to know Sugarfoot is on our side. I'm grateful for that cause we know m had alot of respect for Jonathan and visa versa and it always showed.
Lovely thread.

Oh I'm not saying it shouldn't be released - at all. I'm just horrified at the audio quality from the doc and was questioning not bothering getting the audio to match is all.

I'd take poor concert audio over another Xscape. Thankfully, the multis are available for this so it's a non issue!
