‘Michael Jackson’s Thriller 3D’ to be remastered for IMAX
LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s estate and IMAX are partnering to digitally remaster “Michael Jackson’s Thriller 3D” into IMAX 3D.
The partnership was announced Wednesday, which would have been the singer’s 60th birthday. It will be released in IMAX theatres across the U.S. for one week, beginning Sept. 21.
The estate’s co-executors say Jackson loved to give his fans the “latest and greatest in technology and entertainment experiences.”
The short film, directed by John Landis, premiered in Los Angeles in 1983. The 3D version was first shown at the 74th Venice Film Festival in 2017.
