John Landis recently appeared at the BFI in London to screen his doc Slashers (a must see) where he revealed some interesting news about Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, which Landis directed. First and foremost, the hour long doc “The Making of Thriller”, along with the remastered longform video, would be released soon, reports CHUD. He also shocked audiences explaining that Jackson’s estate wants to re-release “Thriller” in 3-D. No further details were given so it’s unclear whether they mean for 3-D TV or to go theatrical in some way (while that doesn’t make too much sense based on its length). A lawsuit between Landis and the Jackson estate has been the hold up in terms of releasing a cleaned up version of “Thriller”, but his recent death makes him optimistic they can now reach an agreement.
