Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary - Estate Announcement Page 66

Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

^^^ What does this mean? Will there truly be a OTW documentary???
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

zomg, he's literally working on it right now then! :D
I wonder if he'll actually talk to Quincy this time. There's probably not as much archive interviews/studio stuff from that era.
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

Awesome a OTW documenatary sweetness :wild:
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

Great, i hope it won't be just a documentary! i'd love a worldwide Triumph Tour release on DVD/Blu-Ray as well as studio footage & unreleased tracks, i hope their is much more footage of Michael than their was in BAD 25!
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

Nice to see he's working on it!
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

I also hope to see more footage of Michael this time around.

But nice if the production has in fact already startet!!
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

I don't think Thriller has sold over 100 million. It may have been shipped that much but not sold. Many times they count the copies that are send to shops as sold.

It did not ship that much either. Like I said: Thriller sold 110 MIL units, but cca 70 MIL albums (68 MIL according to mediatraffic in February 2013).

units - albums, singles, music videos from parent album...

The Brazilian singer Seu Jorge recording with Spike Lee.

Does it have the possibility of release "Going To Rio", recorded in the album sessions?

Who's that guy and what does he have to do with MJ or Off The Wall? I'm confused.
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

The only disappointing thing to me with Bad25 doc was that Spike didn't include extra footage or extras with the DVD.
The best thing was that he included parts of that Ebony interview with Daryl. Michael relaxed and darling and talking about his own record.

This time I am praying that he includes the interview with Sylvia Chase. I watch that thing over and over. Michael on the cusp of manhood, still totally connected to his family but ready and eager and excited to jump out in his own.
He's beyond adorable.
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

I hope he'll do a Dangerous documentary too after this!!
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

^I want to see that too. Don't know about you, I really want to see a movie about HIStory... not just focusing on the album release, but the whole writing process and Michael's struggle. The whole message. Maybe it wasn't as commercially succesful as Dangerous but I think HIStory has a lot of social impact as we can witness today, almost 20 years later, people are starting to appreciate Michael's work.
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

I am looking forward to this! Spike did and IMPECCABLE job on the Bad 25 Documentary and I have no doubt's he will do the same with this one!
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

OMG, I hope, no PRAY this is true!! Off The Wall is my favorite Mike album and it deserves this kind of reverence and celebration!! :girl_dance: :girl_sigh: :heart:

yes we will be getting off the wall deluxe package. It will include songs like 'Goin to Rio' which is expected to be a number one hit and a very early recovered version of silent spring from late '77.

Lol, bolded is a book ;) haha, and nothing is confirmed! although.. in the past few days.. 19 song's have been registered with the library of congress. Including 'What You Do To Me' & 'Throwing Your Life Away' among other's not sure if this has any connection to the next project, they're probably scanning each sound cassette/multitrack/slave reel to see if they can find more 'Off The Wall' session audio.
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

Well, I mean, nothing's been officially confirmed. Spike Lee's spoken about it but The Estate haven't said a single word yet.

Can you link me to the list? How come they are only doing Throwing now I thought that was considered for Michael. If not we have known that the estate have it for a long time.

I couldn't find it, don't know how other people possibly do.. but here's a photo that someone posted on Twitter! it seems to be the 1988 early version, so maybe they've only had the 2000's mix up until this point?

I'm not saying it's definitely fake (I wouldn't know, I don't really look into this stuff) but it does seem weird they haven't properly capitalised the song names? Plus the first two screenshots have the artists name in the title but the third one doesn't? Seems odd for something like this...

So you don't actually know if the estate have recently registered a bunch of songs, you just have screenshots of one song from someone on twitter?

The source who tweeted this said that 19 song's were registered in the past 48 hours, he only showed 3 screenshots! i couldn't find the registrations myself.
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

in the past few days.. 19 song's have been registered with the library of congress.

if you look to the screenshots you will see that the registration date for those songs are 4/ 28/1982, 10/28/1985 and 9/26/1988. Plus that they are on "sound cassette" should be enough to show that it's not recent. So while those songs are registered I don't think the registration happened "in the past few days".
 
Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

I hope this happen Off The Wall is my favor this was my first album i got of Michael i am pray that it will come true. I agree too he did a beautiful job On Bad 25.

Re: Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary

It's confirmed then, thanks Annita. I hope Spike focuses more on Michael (showing more behind the scenes in the studio, short films), it was a good idea showing archive footage of Quincy Jones, nowadays he hasn't anything good to say about Michael and his bitterness pisses me off. And it'd be better not showing people who had nothing to do with the record, like in Bad, Spike interviewed JB, Mariah Carey, etc, I didn't see the purpose to include them.
