Michael Jackson’s ‘Moonwalker’ is Streaming In HD On Amazon Prime!
The Michael Jackson estate is a confusing one, not to mention quiet. They rarely announce plans for anything, quietly dropping surprise bombs such as this past October’s Halloween compilation “Scream” and sending a restored 3-D version of “Thriller” to film festivals (we still don’t have a release date). Thankfully, not all things Michael Jackson are in their control, which is probably why his legendary Moonwalker randomly appeared on Amazon Prime’s streaming service.
If you haven’t buckled down and picked up the import by now, Moonwalk over to Amazon where you can stream the 1988 masterpiece in full HD!
If you haven’t seen yet, Moonwalker combines Michael Jackson’s greatest videos with rare clips from his early days in the Jackson 5 and live concert and Grammy performances. But that’s all just to whet the palette. Also included is a wild adventure film written by Jackson himself, allowing a rare and unique glimpse into the creative mind of this musical genius.
Look for cameo appearances by Joe Pesci, Mick Jagger, Sean Lennon, Elizabeth Taylor and others!
Pesci is Moonwalker‘s antagonist, a ruthless drug dealer named Mr. Big who is also responsible for kidnapping children. Only, a robot Michael Jackson stands in his path…
As an added bonus, the movie includes the famous “Smooth Criminal” music video in which Jackson shocked the world with his magician-like anti-gravity “lean” move. One warning: beware of spiders.
Theo James Krekis‘ short film Jealous People are Ugly People premiered earlier this year at SXSW and has since inspired a massive bidding war for its feature film expansion.
New Line Cinema has emerged victorious in the latest feeding frenzy over next-generation digital horror IP and its creators, Deadline reports.
Krekis will adapt Jealous People are Ugly People, directing from his own script.
In the short film, “Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. But things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares some good news, he starts to suffer from strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye – and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck.”
SXSW described the short film as ” a darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition.”
Jennifer Monks and Michelle Stein will produce the feature take alongside Isaac Klausner, John Fischer, Ben Levine and Ethan Cappello. Josh Mack and Lauren Botchan are overseeing for New Line.
Jealous People are Ugly People joins New Line’s upcoming horror slate that also includes Santiago Menghini’s The Revenge of La Llorona on February 26, 2027, and The Conjuring: First Communion on September 10, 2027.
