Please could you tell us if there is a chance for a screening of the Michael Jackson This is IT movie that was not shown due to the mix up of movies? I met a couple outside the theater the night is was meant to be on who said it was a visual feast and very entertaining. So sorry to have missed it as I had been looking forward to it since before Christmas. It would be great to learn that you could get it again.
Cheers filmfan

Dear Filmfan

Unfortunately,the film studio, Sony, in America have refused to allow any further theatrical screenings of This Is It. So our hands are tied, but it is now out absolutely everywhere on both DVD and BLU RAY. Whilst we can't help, it may be time to visit the friends who have just got a new sound system for their you-beaut digital setup and give them the chance to enjoy the show. Sorry, PFFS
