Following Jackson’s death, AEG stated that they had over “100 hours of footage of preparations and rehearsals for the shows”. On August 10, 2009, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved a deal between film distributer Columbia Pictures and AEG Live for the former company to purchase and distribute rehersal footage of Jackson for a film entitled Michael Jackson’s This Is It. According to court documents, Columbia paid $60 million (£35 million) for rights to the rehearsal footage. The papers filed in court had reportedly stated that Jackson’s estate will get 90% of the profits and that AEG Live will get the remaining 10% from the film’s revenue. The film is scheduled for release on October 28, 2009.
An accompanying album to the film will also be released. Titled This Is It, the compilation is set to be distributed internationally on October 26, and to North America the following day. The two-disc album will feature music “inspired from the documentary of the same name”. Of the album, Sony said, “Disc one will feature the original album masters of some of Michael’s biggest hits arranged in the same sequence as they appear in the film” and stated that the “the disc ends with two versions of the ‘never-released’ ‘This Is It’ [...] This song is featured in the film’s closing sequence and includes backing vocals by Michael’s brothers, the Jacksons.” Sony added that the second disc will feature previously unreleased versions from Jackson’s “catalogue of hits”, along with a spoken word poem entitled “Planet Earth” and a 36-page commemorative booklet with “exclusive photos of Michael from his last rehearsal”.
