The estate are doing Michael proud, breaking records just like MJ did in his life. As for the DVD, I'm trying to be patient, they know what they are doing, all in good time, we have an exciting year ahead of us.

Awesome!
 
As Tony would say - GREeeeEEeeAaaTtT !!!
 
If they release a concert DVD..they need to do it the right way. The last several DVD's released in MJ's name (dating back to even when he was still with us) were in poor quality.

The Bad tour was one of the top selling tours of all time...they need to respect that fact and release a kick ass DVD....complete with high quality sound, visual effects, the works. Do what MJ would have wanted to do!

I also think with the Pepsi partnership again, why not have a bonus section on the DVD with the ORIGINAL Pepsi commercials. That would be sick! :p
 
^ooh. thats a good idea to have the pepsi ads as special features!
sooooooooo impressed with the estate!!! album (with new song) + tour dvd + pepsi deal. excellent + excellent + excellent.
MJ estate = only the best!!! so proud and happy!
 
I don't get this at all...I do love the Jackson family with all my heart... Nothing wrong about them. BUT in my opinion this Pepsi flirt leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I mean Pepsi dumped Michael when he was lied to and slandered by the first wave of allegations. Now they come saying they want him on their cans again. I've bought my last can of Pepsi, that's for sure!

Pepsi had a contract with Michael for the Dangerous tour and when that was done the sponsorship was done. They didn't drop him. Also, Pepsi who owns Sobe water worked with Michael on the Thrillericious project for T-25 if you remember. So please stop with the negativity. This is AWESOME NEWS!!

You are wrong. Here is a good summary about Michael`s relationship with Pepsi.

I don't recall there being any offical stament from the estate saying they were going to release the bad tour

I may be wrong but i think it is not good idea to relay on wishful thinking. I just don't want people getting upset with the estate when there has not been an offical statement harming the sucesses of the album and the other promotion.

we have to remeber that michael jackson did not want it released while he was alive and there may be some problems with who rightfully owns the footage to these concerts being that michael has had a history of giving away footage from concerts

New York, NY - On June 5, the original first single from Michael Jackson's landmark album BAD, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," was re-released as a CD Single with a never-before released bonus track called "Don't Be Messin' 'Round (demo)." In its first week this Wal-Mart exclusive CD single was scooped up by fans, giving Michael a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart in a top five that includes Carly Rae Jepsen, Calvin Harris, Justin Bieber and Coldplay/Rihanna.

"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" was written and composed by Michael Jackson and performed as a duet with Siedah Garrett. The song became the first of five consecutive number-one Billboard Hot 100 hits from Jackson's BAD album. It also reached number one on the Billboard R&B and adult contemporary charts. "Don't Be Messin' Around" is a previously unreleased demo from the singer's vaults which was recorded during the BAD sessions.

On September 18th, the Estate of Michael Jackson along with Epic/Legacy Recordings will release BAD 25, which includes three CDs, two collectible booklets, and features the first-ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the record breaking BAD tour, the concert at Wembley Stadium on July 16, 1988 attended by Princess Diana, Prince Charles and a sold-out crowd of 72,000 fans.

Michael Jackson BAD - Spike Lee documentary press release


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 10, 2012


AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER SPIKE LEE IMMERSED IN
MICHAEL JACKSON DOCUMENTARY

FILM FOCUSES ON THE KING OF POP’S GROUND-BREAKING BAD ALBUM, TOUR AND VIDEOS TO CELEBRATE THE 25[SUP]TH[/SUP] ANNIVERSARY OF THE ALBUM’S RELEASE

New York, NY – It was announced today that Academy Award nominated filmmaker Spike Lee, in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music, is in the final stages of post production of a Michael Jackson documentary focusing on Michael’s landmark BAD album and worldwide tour. The project marks the first ever in-depth, behind the scenes film project to chronicle a Michael Jackson album, and is being filmed amid the 25[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary celebration of the iconic album, record-breaking world tour and groundbreaking short films that changed music history. The documentary features over 40 interviews conducted personally by Spike Lee with Michael’s confidants, choreographers, musicians and other collaborators who collectively unveil the real story of this “coming of age” project through their vivid recollections of what it was like to work day in and day out and live this project with Michael. BAD’s lasting influence is captured through interviews with some of today’s top artists, including Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Cee Lo Green and Sheryl Crow, who was a back-up singer on the BAD tour.

The Michael Jackson BAD documentary joins an incredible body of Spike Lee documentaries including the Peabody and Emmy Award winning, When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts and its follow up, If God Is Willing And Da Creek Don’t Rise, Kobe Doin’ Work, and the Oscar Nominated, 4 Little Girls. Lee directed both short films for Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us” in 1996.

Spike Lee comments, “I’m more than just a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and having the chance to actually know him and work with him, I deeply care about his legacy. With this BAD project I was able to uncover just what made this such a huge, important coming of age in his career and unearth compelling stories surrounding the making of the album, the long awaited follow-up to Thriller – the best selling album of all time - the short films and the tour that may have never seen the light of day.”

Among the interviewees are Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorcese, Joe Pytka and other filmmakers who worked with Michael to bring the stories in his songs to life on the screen through short films that remain today some of the most vivid and creative storytelling by a musical artist as well as one of his Michael’s personal engineers, Matt Forger, who worked with Michael at the recording studio at Michael’s Hayvenhurst home where the songs first came to life, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, who worked on the album and then the BAD Tour. Also shedding light on the BAD album, short films and tour are individuals like former CBS Head Walter Yetnikoff, as well as choreographers Jeffrey Daniel and Vincent Paterson.

John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of The Estate of Michael Jackson comment, “Spike Lee’s genius as a storyteller combined with his passion and first-hand appreciation of Michael’s artistry makes him the logical filmmaker to tell the story of BAD. We are thrilled to be working with him on this unique project.”

The third and final album collaboration for Jackson and Quincy Jones, BAD launched a pivotal coming of age for the King of Pop as a performer, composer and producer. The album was #1 around the world, made history with five consecutive #1 singles on the Billboard chart, produced ten chart-topping singles, nine ground breaking short films and to date, the BAD album has generated over 45 Million units in sales. BAD was nominated for six Grammys and won two; the album earned Michael the first-ever Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMA Awards. Songs on the original album are: “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Speed Demon,” “Liberian Girl,” “Just Good Friends” featuring Stevie Wonder, “Another Part of Me,” “Man in the Mirror,” “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Dirty Diana,” “Smooth Criminal,” with “Leave Me Alone” added to the CD version of the album once released.

Spike Lee’s film supports the 25[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary of BAD, which will also be celebrated with the September 17[SUP]th[/SUP] release of BAD 25, a must-have deluxe package featuring three CDs, two collectible booklets, and features the first-ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the record breaking BAD tour, the concert at Wembley Stadium on July 16, 1988 attended by Princess Diana, Prince Charles and a sold-out crowd of 72,000 fans. A BAD 25 two CD standard edition featuring the original album plus the CD of demos and new remixes will also be made available as will a stand alone edition of the DVD and a picture disc of the original album.
More details on this and other exciting projects relating to BAD’s 25th anniversary will be announced soon.
