Artist Nate Giorgio has posted on social media concepts he created to celebrate “Thriller 40” that were commissioned by Sony Music but ultimately never officially used.

Giorgio became Michael’s official private artist in 1984 and the two remained close until Michael’s passing in 2009. Some of the portraits he created were displayed in Michael’s Neverland home as well as used on various commercial and private projects such as albums, books, calendars, and merchandise. Perhaps his most famous drawing of Michael was called “Remember the Children” which he created in 1986 and featured in the “HIStory” album booklet.

Most recently his artwork can be seen as the main visual for the Broadway hit musical “MJ.” Below are his “Thriller 40” concepts:

The artist also made a concept logo for the album, which again was decided not to be used:

Reminds me of all this ai art going around
 
man I had a dream where someone leaked the full Munich show in widescreen format
 
What I really love about What a Lovely Way To Go


Is that when you listen to part of the snippet of the 2010 version Mark Ronson had produced, you can hear all the things MJ approximated in his original demo. The beatboxing MJ did is the exact template Mark Ronson followed and it's classy and genius in true MJ fashion. So once again, I would love to hear this version of the song.
 
I still hope very much to get a chance to see this doc.

Hope it will at least be released on Apple TV so I can buy it.
 
supposedly there'll be a press release tomorrow regarding the biopic
 
They've really messed up with the timing of this documentary, the moment has passed. They should have seized that post Thriller 40 pre Christmas gap

Now it'll get lost in the shuffle of the biopic news. I'd love them just to scrap the doc, but release the new footage on the YouTube channel. Extremely wishful thinking
 
What happened to the documentary?
Branca swallowed and ate it. He doesn't want anyone to have it so he came in the film studio one night said, give me the footage, and ate it. It was really inconvenient that it was only on one single tape; why are they even using a tape, what is this, 1977? Anyway, he hates us. Die mad.

It was really exagerating the story of the fate of the documentary.
