Thriller 40th Anniversary

[filmandmusic]

We are the world?

 

[Hulkamaniac]

A complete remake of Thriller, contemporised for the modern audience and the current times we live in!

AHAHHAJAA I'd hate the Estate forever

 

[Hulkamaniac]

We are the world?

That was shot on tape. It could never be upscaled to 4K looking natural, like real 4K

 

[Hulkamaniac]

what a horrible quality. Destroying the footage. Looks like watching a Cartoon.

I agree. SD source material does NEVER look natural upscaled to 4K.

 

[Dorian]

Cascio keyboard. Only to be used in bathrooms.

It's not that hard to (re)create something fresh and interesting even with the album tracks themselves.

Yep, I've said before that the estate do not need to use totally unheard stuff in order to create releases, it just takes the slightest bit of creativity but I am not expecting that from them at this point.

We can make a bonus ep ourselves with the reduxes/remixes from the guys in the community. There's plenty of them that are great, like this one here and Groovefunkel's Human Nature extended take.

So my bet for the 4K vids is

1 . Thriller
2. Beat It
3. Billie Jean
4. Say Say Say
5. Complete HD Victory concert

Ha, I wish. What do you think it'll be the 5th one?

Maybe this?

I dunno, I feel like these are also a waste of space and resources. As promo singles? Sure. But if they start saying, “Buy a new mix of ‘Billie Jean’!” I’m not biting.

Will be preparing to release every MV of Thriller era in 4K soon.

OMFGGGGGGG

I'm worried about the other 3 vids tho. Are we sure we are getting more?

 

[Scared of the Moon]

Billie Jean hasn't been changed. . .

YESSSSS! Even these screen grabs are significant upgrades from what we’ve had. Perhaps they’ll be the final “big reveal” the day before T40 drops!

That is still not sure.

Billie Jean hasn't been changed. . .

You'll have to wait a little longer this month.

I am pretty nervous about this lol.

I've also made a mix of that song in my own way.

or....
5 Remake\Tribute 4k videos with all these anoying dancers from the last 10 years. Anything is possible with this estate.

Great post. Agree entirely - It was like they are stuck in the middle and was some sort of pre-commitment to do but they just couldn't be bothered. As you say, appealing to a new fanbase promotion needs to be heavy. they are barely even tweeting/IG'ing it.

Hi I have sent you a message in pm.
I don't think that the estate are who should be kicked for this it's more Sony.
It would be nice if we could get a communication going with the estate.

Sony is an easy scapegoat because fans refuse to acknowledge that MJ was also wrong back in 2001. They absolutely have a hand in marketing, but the estate oversees the social media accounts and promotional events. The estate deserves the blame for this.

It'd be dope, but I highly doubt it

I feel they'd fit a box set idea if it was done like Queen's The Miracle one.

The absence of Thriller40 on HDtracks makes me believe there'll be also a 24/96 version, that's to be announced very soon. Hopefully it'll be not compressed to death.

100% sure that if there is a hi-res version (there will be one, most likely.) It will be the exact same as the standard 16-bit version. So... block of sound.

Notice that there are already sub lyrics, but not yet a 4k music videos that will be updated soon.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

no. everything out there, untouched or not, is crap.

Yeah you're right I enjoy his jacket looking orange in the original video, it looks much better.

If there are five then the last two might be Bad era short films.
