On October 28th 2009, the rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson’s: “This Is It” tour will hit cinemas, with showings expected to be limited to two weeks only.

Tickets will go onsale on September 27th 2009.

Last night at the VMAs, they aired the trailer for the ‘movie’:

I have to say, this looks awesome (and like it would have been one of the best concerts EVER!) – I will definitely be trying to get to see it!

Below is the movie poster for the film (which is equally as fab!)

It’s just a pity that the tour was named as it was really, as it has now become unintentionally but poignantly apt.

It is rumoured that the film will be an impressive two and a half hours long!

I also stumbled across this advertisement from March 2009 on ITV1 for the tour – which was the longest piece of airtime ever purchased by an artist!
