Michael Jackson 'This Is It' Trailer To Premiere During VMAs
Documentary preview will debut on MTV during the live broadcast, airing Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.

Though Michael Jackson is gone, the King of Pop will be front and center during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. Not only will his sister Janet make a musical tribute to her brother with a special appearance to help open the show, but we can now reveal that viewers will get their first look at the MJ documentary "This Is It" during the live broadcast, when the trailer premieres on MTV.

Drawn from more than 100 hours of behind-the-scenes footage and produced with the full support of Jackson's family, "This Is It" chronicles the last three months of the superstar's life as he sought to stage a series of 50 sold-out comeback concerts at London's O2 arena. The documentary shows MJ developing the show and rehearsing a number of songs during his final days. "This Is It" is directed by Kenny Ortega, Jackson's creative partner and the director of the planned O2 stage show. Sony Pictures plans to release the film in theaters for a limited two-week engagement, starting on October 28.

MTV will also exclusively premiere an extended trailer for another hotly anticipated fall movie, "New Moon," the second installment of the "Twilight" vampire franchise. Stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be on hand to debut the footage. "New Moon" co-star Ashley Greene will also be at the show, serving as MTV News' fashion correspondent on the red carpet during the preshow, which airs at 8 p.m. ET.

The VMAs will be hosted for the second year in a row by British comedian Russell Brand. The evening's performers include Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Pink, Taylor Swift and Muse. Katy Perry, Ne-Yo, Nelly Furtado, Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester and Miranda Cosgrove are set to present awards.

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards air live this Sunday, September 13, at 9 p.m. ET, but New York is celebrating the VMAs all week long! Stay tuned for party coverage, concert reports, behind-the-scenes updates and more.

I started a separate thread to notify others, instead of them having to look in a thread with heaps of replies.

I would like to know that too so I know what time it will air here in Finland..
 
ET is Eastern Time. It's GMT -5. In other words, 5 hours earlier than Greenwich.
 
Preshow starts at 1.00am and show will be live at 2.00am UK Time.
For Europe it's 2.00am and 3.00am for the show.

cant' wait
 
Re: Michael Jackson 'This Is It' Trailer To Premiere During VMAs

Good, a nice platform for that me thinks...mtv is mj and alot of people will be watching..Everyone better wear summin mj or say summin about him...I don't care who they are..I know all the balck artists will but if any stupid delusional white peeps don't grrr....It simply isn't their night..no matter if they win or perform...I am sure they all know his hard work in past paved the way for THEM ALL..


michael made mtv what it is imo in alooot of ways...think about how many black artists are on it now..and look at the dancing.....the videos..the clothes the stage performances....so mtv better pay alot of respect to mj....everyone says bet wasn't godd and i totally disagree...with the time they had to make it a tribute they did unbelivably well and in some ways no matter what tribute comes after, it won't be as emotional as moments in that show...the humanity of it might not be attained in another tribute simply because it was the first..but i hope mtv just it proper justice and surpasses as it has had alot of time to do this and so even if indivudal acceptance sppeches might be the same as bet, others bits like video packages etc should be made very well...hopefully....i am postive it will be

It will start and end with mj that much i am fully sure..the end should hopefully be very interesting as will the whole show..I just hope everyone pays theirs respects going on stage...noone should leave out mentioning mj and if they do they will just look like egotisical selfish foools....so it's obv in their interest but more importantly it must be said as NONE of them will attain his brillliance in music/dance/prducing...nothing...he has set the bar ridicoulsy high and they are alll under his shadow...makes them all seem kinda pathethic and inferior compared to him which they kinda are but they know that...If someone like lady gaga who is sorta displaying charactersitsics like she has reaches mj heights fails to mention him ..there will be an uproar..by me anyway...

but i am sure it will be fine...

lets have clips of his appearances at past mtv performances places mtv!!!!!!
the one thing i didn't like about bet was it never showed mj's appearances...had him n jb at start but didnt even show the full bt and cut at WORST moment...

What does this have to do with anything? What's the point of the insults? It's not like everybody in the world listens to MJ. It's better that people who mean it talk about Mike instead of fake sincerity.
 
Well, that's 2am in the morning here in England...

But the first thing I do Monday morning will be turning on my computer...
