Michael Jackson’s 'This Is It' Promo

October 22 2009 12:15 PST

If you haven’t been able to get tickets to the late Michael Jackson’s "This Is It" documentary set to hit theaters on October 28, this newly released featurette will give you a good glimpse of the behind the scenes footage of the late King of Pop’s rehearsal for his planned concert series at the O2 Arena in London.

The 2-minute promotional clip shows some of the special effects that would have lit up the stage. It also shows MJ busting some moves with his dancers and producer Kenny Ortega explaining to the crew how the show will work: "So we open the show, as you know, with all the lights down, "we're going to create a spectacular opening with pyrotechnics, and we want some sizzles and some cracks and some pops."

Ortega also gives details about some of the cool features in the show: "We have our video that is called 'Glimpses and Flashes.' And that's where light man comes out on the gantry, floating above the stage.  And he'll be dazzling in video information [and open] piece by piece; MJ is revealed until he jumps out. And on Michael's command, we begin."

At this point in the video, music starts pumping out of the speakers and Michael begins to rehearse to hits like "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "Bad," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Billie Jean."

So for those who weren’t able to get tickets to see the entire film, check out this featurette and what Kenny Ortega promises to be a celebration of Michael Jackson’s "music, his ideas, and his genius and artistry. And that's what they're going to see."
