Witness the final performance of a legend…

Magnavision Home Videos and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment present the video release of the most anticipated movie event of the year – Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT.

Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts at London’s O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.

Coming on Original VCD, 1-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, Blu-Ray and 2-disc limited edition DVD with booklet, catch the King of Pop as he makes a final yet unforgettable return on stage.

Own a piece of history as Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT arrives in video stores nationwide this January.

Really?

Cool! In that case this is one of those rare times that the R3 version 1-ups the R1 version.

Only R3's I can think of that are better than their R1 counterparts are X-Men 3, Monster's Inc. & Terminator 3  :)

You don't know how happy I am to find this!  I've been calling astrovision about the bluray & they have no idea if it will get released here!  So I've been canvassing both amazon & ebay & worrying myself to death about international shipping!

So how much is the bluray?

I went to Astroplus sa SM Makati. Sani sa akin ng taga Magnavision dun.

No reservations daw unlike other titles in the past. So anong significance nung nakasulat sa poster? Tsk tsk.  >:(

Really? I thought their upcoming performance will be for the release event of the home video only, not as a special feature of the DVD/BD.

according to MJ's choreographer, their 2 performances will be part of the DVD/BD. one of the songs he'll choreographed is they don't care about us.

It is now available in SM Megamall Record Bar, I saw it a while ago. 1-disc is P750 while 2-disc is P899. I'm not sure if everyone here will like the 2-disc packaging.

Looks like the newest Dancing Inmates clip choreographed by MJ's dancers is just a promotional one for the release of the "This Is it" DVD/BD today.  Here's the clip on Youtube:

Post by: techdude on Jan 26, 2010 at 10:59 PM
bought the two discer. The lenticular is as posted in the poster above. The booklet is a glossy mini picturebook, and with 'first edition' printed inside. The features are as listed by others. No dancing inmates features.

Imported dvd, and usual imported  good Sony dvd casing.

Haven't watch the movie in theaters. But watching the rehearsals in This is It, it clear the concert would have been something.
RIP, Michael...

By the way, would like to ask those who have bought their copies na. Anong difference nung 2-disc lenticular DVD and 2-disc limited edition DVD with booklet?

Title: Re: Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT coming this January!
Post by: techdude on Jan 27, 2010 at 06:39 PM
all two discs version I saw include the booklet and the lenticular postcard inside the slipcased dvd. Don't know if magnavision has another varaint that doesn't include those collectibles. Maybe not in the initial release. I think the lenticular one on the poster is a mockup, since the actual bluray is not slipcased.

Cebu inmates, Jackson choreographer relive 'This Is It' in big number
GMANews.TV (January 26, 2009)


The performance was uploaded on the video-sharing site YouTube last January 22. Accessed on the morning of January 26, the video clip had already been viewed 417,610 times. Payne visited the Cebu penitentiary last week to teach the inmates "The Drill," which will be part of the Blu-Ray and DVD copies of "This Is It."

***********************************************

Hmmmm......so far I have not seen this video included in the recently released dvd copies last January 26. Mali ba ang report dito? Tsk tsk tsk. Would there be another release of this DVD wherein the Cebu video was included?  ???
Title: Re: Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT coming this January!
Post by: allanmandy on Jan 28, 2010 at 09:00 AM
Just as I mentioned in one of my posts, I believe that that Cebu inmate dance video was just shot for promotional purposes for the home video release, and not intended to be included in thr disc itself.


Title: Re: Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT coming this January!
Post by: techdude on Jan 28, 2010 at 07:43 PM
According to the Inquirer, the dancing inmates new video was shot only this January 16 (if my memory serves me right). So no way, it got included in the discs which would have been pressed and in warehouse by then...

Nice to see the Fil-Ams (Zaldy the Costume Designer and Chucky, one of the 11 dancers) get some airtime in the Special Features of this release.

It was going to be a spectacular and memorable comeback for the King of Pop...  Sayang talaga.

BTW, catch the Grammy Awards on Monday (morning), where MJ will be given a posthumous lifetime achievement award.

Disc 2

• Meet the Dancers
Meet each of the 11 dancers chosen among thousands to dance with Michael Jackson on his This Is It tour.
• Meet the Band
Go behind the scenes with the band members chosen to perform on the This Is It tour with Michael Jackson
• Meet the Vocalists
Go behind the scenes with the vocalists selected to sing with Michael Jackson on the This Is It Tour

Above is the content of the P999. However I noticed that the P899  has more features than this. For those planning to get the lenticulars, check the sticker in front that say "lenticular", some stocks have that word erased so it seems that only the first batches had one. I'm still curious how did it happened since the disc is still on its original seal, including that sticker.

The Dancing Inmates disc hasn't arrived yet, good news is it will be imported. Magna was not allowed to produce locally. So better have your suking tindahan reserve one for you when it arrives.

It's limited daw to those who bought during the first few days of release and who signed up for the promo disc.  But if you have the receipt to your purchase, you might want to try your luck, and since it's locally minted, it might not (I am guessing here) be as limited as what we were led to believe.  ;)
