Director John Landis is planning to release Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” music video in 3D next year in the wake of his lengthy legal battle with the late entertainer’s estate.
Landis, who directed the 14-minute iconic video, battled Jackson’s estate over money he was allegedly owed for his work on the video, but both parties reached a confidential settlement in 2012.
Now the legal fight is over, Landis plans to revamp the 1983 music video and re-release it 2015. He is in talks to show it in movie theaters and release it on DVD.
Landis tells the New York Daily News, “That lawsuit went on for so many years, (but) we settled and they paid me finally… And so, actually there is something happening with ‘Thriller.’
“It is going to reappear in a highly polished and three-dimensional way that is very exciting on the big screen… I cannot tell you any more… I might have to kill you.”
Paperwork obtained from the Jackson estate shows many other projects are in development including Internet games, a film, a documentary and a Broadway play about the singer’s life.
