Any ideas or speculations on what they will release this year if anything?
A documentary on Off the Wall (could be cool) and a 3D version of Thriller (absolutely useless) is expected.
Will the 3D Thriller be in cinemas? Do you expect it to be? I understand why you'd think it's useless if its a dvd with the terrible home glasses. I'd prefer more unreleased music but i'd be sort of excited seeing thriller in the same quality as the moonwalker blu-ray
I'm definitely on board with seeing Thriller in HD, but I won't drive twenty-five minutes to my nearest theater and pay upwards of $7 to see it in a format it was never shot in. I'll hold out for a Blu-Ray release of the music videos...if one ever comes to fruition that is.
Call me the negative user of the board, but I really don't care whatsoever about any of the projects planned. There's a slim-to-none chance the Off the Wall documentary will include the most important person to the project (Quincy Jones), and Thriller 3D is absolutely useless. The Estate should definitely take this year off and start working towards whatever 2016 holds.

Smooth Criminal looks mind-blowing in 3D btw! :bugeyed
How on earth do you know?? - Smooth Criminal has to my knowledge never been released in 3D.... ??
Perhaps only if it's paired with Ghosts.
That's still under an hour though.
Release it as the making of documentary with additional behind the scenes footage, pretty simple.

Mmm perhaps. I wonder how commercially viable it would be though, realistically...
I hope 2015 will be the year MJ videos will be released on Blu-Ray...
We need these historic videos in best quality possible !!
The OTW documentary sounds cool too. - So I hope for a OTW anniversary release like BAD25. - Wonder which concert we will get. - Hope for perfect quality this time.
As do i, wouldn't it be brilliant? although doubtful, i hope we get some behind the scenes for each short film also and to the Off The Wall Documentary, as it's being made now.. it's possible they could include it with the deluxe edition, if a reissue is planned for this year! and very much so, i'd love to see a Triumph or Destiny Tour on Blu-Ray! they are the best Jackson's Tours and different enough from the 1987 BAD Tour (Victory Tour is the 1987 BAD tour minus 'BAD' & 'IJCSLY' so that wouldn't have much of a market compared to Michael's solo effort)
Off The Wall 36 though? They can't call it 35. Yeah, Thriller 25 came out under 2 and a half months after the 25th anniversary in Feb 2008, but you could still claim it was released the year of the 25th anniversary of the short film,
Off the Wall's 35th anniversary was way back in August (almost half a year ago!!). By the time they actually get a documentary prepared, shot and edited to go with the reissue, it'll likely be near the end of 2015 anyway. Way beyond the '35th anniversary'. 36 isn't exactly a number to celebrate (and even then, 35 is an odd number considering every other anniversary release so far is 25).
I don't think we're getting a reissue, named after the anniversary anyway. Personally, it'd piss me off for consistency reasons. On my shelf it'd be organised like...
Michael (2010)
Bad 25 (2012)
XSCAPE (2014)
Off the Wall 36 (2015)
Dangerous 25 (2016) (not announced, obviously, but a given).
Off the Wall is suddenly thrown in the mix, not only out-of-order but with a completely different number. Really hoping they don't do that.
Would be cool to see a tour or something though. Haven't really seen anything from the Jackson tours (I've never been one to care about the concerts enough to hunt down and watch different ones. Official releases and the TV broadcast of the HIStory show from my city are good enough for me ).
I don't have OCD, but I do like consistency and order. It can't really be considered the '35th anniversary' either because the album name isn't 'Rock With You 35' either. Now if they released a short film for Off the Wall in 1980, then I'd agreed with you on this aspect.I don't see why you feel the need to be OCD with how you present thing's? it can still be considered as the 35th anniversary, considering that the short film for 'Rock With You' was released in 1980!
Yep that's possible! I had that in mind. This isn't directly specifically at you, but just the MJ community in general. Kinda annoys me how most suggestions fan have are all anniversary related. Free yourself of the anniversaries concept unless its major brahs ~*~*plus, it doesn't need to be titled 'Off The Wall 36' why can't they just title it as, 'Off The Wall: Deluxe Anniversary Edition' or something similar? i think it needs to be re-issued anyway, it is by far one of Michael's most overlooked albums!
It'd make more sense to do the tour with more Michael Jackson songs since they are the Michael Jackson Estate (although we should obviously expect a fair share Jacksons considering the era).i'm sure at least one Triumph show was, Destiny Tour only has one track performed from 'Off The Wall' so it wouldn't make much sense to release one of those shows! we can only guess though, only The Estate know the fate of the upcoming projects..

Yeah. Forget the anniversary!!! And people forget that the Jacksons were unbelievably fantastic from 76 at the dawn of the disco era and they took control of their own music.
Esp to see them become adults and develop their talent during a time that most mainstream audiences had pretty much forgotten about them.
Those were great days!!!!!
And OTW and the Triumph tour was the prize waiting for us at the end of all that hard work and belief in themselves.
Like Galactus123 said, short films and Bad Tour in BluRay would be awesome. (Maybe, the blackshirt)
