New Footage Released From Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' Movie

Michael Jackson's movie This Is It shows the King of Pop rehearsing for his 50-date London comeback tour. The film will be in high definition, some of which will be shown in 3-D.

The film will also offer a retrospective of Jackson's life and career and feature interviews with friends and collaborators (though interestingly not, per the press release, with family, unless they're simply being included in the latter category).

Fans need not worry about a possible smear campaign, however. Branca said the film would "treat Michael's legacy with dignity and respect."

Tickets go on sale Sept. 27 and the movie hits theaters Oct. 28.
