Interesting program note: ABC will air a Spike Lee documentary on Michael Jackson's epochal "Bad" — which turns 25 Aug. 31. Not a lot of detail here yet — notably airdate, length, etc. — but the network indicates this should hit the air on Thanksgiving. Lee has presented this already at some film festivals in Toronto and Venice.
The details, via ABC's release:
The Estate of Michael Jackson and Legacy/Epic Records, carefully culling The Estate’s archives for rare and never-before-seen footage for the film which focuses on the creative forces that pushed Jackson to make the “BAD” album and launch the BAD Worldwide Tour. “BAD25” marks the first ever in-depth, behind-the-scenes film project to chronicle a Michael Jackson album and tour, and was filmed in advance of the 25th anniversary celebration of the iconic album, the record-breaking world tour and the groundbreaking short films that changed সঙ্গীত history. The album’s 25th Anniversary will be celebrated on September 18, 2012 with the Legacy/Epic Records release of deluxe 25th Anniversary editions of the album. The documentary features numerous interviews conducted personally দ্বারা Spike Lee, including Jackson’s confidants, choreographers, musicians and collaborators, such as Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorsese, Joe Pytka . . .
And this from the filmmaker:
Lee offers us a আরো intimate side of Jackson, one rarely glimpsed amidst the glitter and circus-like atmosphere that surrounded the notoriously private superstar, especially as his personal life (and appearance) became a scandal-rag mainstay in the years that followed Bad. As the landmark album takes shape before our eyes, we see Jackson’s dedication to his craft, his talent for inspired collaboration, and his sly sense of humor — as well as some hints of the toll that his relentless work ethic had on his psyche..

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for আপনি to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells আপনি never be afraid
Then somewhere in your হৃদয় আপনি can feel the glow
A light to keep আপনি warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My তারকা secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells আপনি never be afraid
Then somewhere in your হৃদয় আপনি can feel the glow
A light to keep আপনি warm when the night winds blow
Look for the রামধনু in the sky
I believe আপনি and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever আপনি may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever আপনি may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Waiting for আপনি to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells আপনি never be afraid
Then somewhere in your হৃদয় আপনি can feel the glow
A light to keep আপনি warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My তারকা secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells আপনি never be afraid
Then somewhere in your হৃদয় আপনি can feel the glow
A light to keep আপনি warm when the night winds blow
Look for the রামধনু in the sky
I believe আপনি and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever আপনি may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever আপনি may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Michael Jackson's estate is lashing out at the people behind a new MJ documentary set to debut in জাপান tomorrow -- claiming অনুরাগী are being duped into believing the flick was authorized দ্বারা Team MJ.
The estate has released a scathing statement claiming that মরাল Features is promoting the movie in a way that is misleading MJ's অনুরাগী into believing the film -- shot দ্বারা former MJ confidante Marc Schaffel -- was properly authorized.
The estate also makes it clear it doesn't endorse the flick and none of the profits will benefit MJ's children. They also note that the movie is not allowed to contain any of Michael's music.
Schaffel doesn't appear to be bothered -- the above ছবি was taken moments পূর্বে at the movie premiere in Tokyo ... where Schaffel took the stage and told অনুরাগী Katherine Jackson sent along her best wishes.
Tuesday, we shot video of Schaffel and Debbie Rowe boarding a plane to Tokyo.
