AEG chief: Rehearsal footage may become motion pic BETH HARRISAssociated Press Writer
"I said let's grab one piece where we can show people where he was headed," he said. "He was developing getting his moves together." The rehearsal footage, shot in high definition, includes Jackson performing his hits "Thriller" and "Beat It." Other footage shows production meetings and auditions. "We have enough audio to make two live albums, and he's never done a live album," Phillips said. "This is really the last great work of a 21st century genius." The production budget for the 50 London shows, which were set to begin July 13, swelled to more than $25 million, he said. Part of those costs included 3D technology used to produce what Phillips called "mini-movies" involving "Thriller" and "Earth Song." "That's what's so compelling," he said. "Just 'Thriller' is nine minutes of 3D visual insanity." Another possibility is a tribute show at The O2 arena in London that would be broadcast worldwide and then sold as a DVD, the promoter said.
