LOS ANGELES – A Michael Jackson film built around rehearsal footage left behind after his death will be released in a limited two-week theatrical engagement worldwide.

Distributor Sony announced that the release date for “Michael Jackson: This Is It” has been moved up to Oct. 28, two days earlier than previously announced. Tickets go on sale Sept. 27.

The studio also announced longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega is directing “This Is It,” which offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Jackson preparing for a series of London shows he was rehearsing when he died June 25.

Ortega had been working with Jackson on the “This Is It” concert tour. His other credits include the “High School Musical” movies and an upcoming remake of “Footloose.”

    I will see this film. I count myself amongst the blessed to have seen Michael in concert in ’84 (Victory Tour). I’m still having a hard time dealing with his loss. Rest in PEACE, Michael…

    Sony is trying to collect on all the money it can which is the reason for the limited release. Sony said “What the hell this is Michael Jackson, lets have a limited release around the world and that people have no choice but to pay and see it, its only for two weeks…..Mike’s death is going to make us rich”

    This kinda sucks because it may be difficult to get tickets. But I’m going to try because it will be fun to be around other fans which will make it a concert-like atmosphere. I’m jealous @Switch84!!!!!
    I never got to see him :(
