Thrilling! Although he is still working out specifics, Landis hopes to release the video – which was the most expensive clip of its time and was rated the greatest video of all time by Rolling Stone readers – on Blu-ray and even in theaters. But when pressed for more info, Landis simply said, “I cannot tell you any more. I might have to kill you.”
Fair enough. A source also told the Daily News that Jackson had hoped to include a 3-D version of "Thriller" as part of his "This Is It" London residency, but unfortunately, he done died before he was able to see that dream realized.
The source went on to suggest that the estate had been considering making a "Thriller" video game, either as "a dance experience or a zombie-style, shoot-'em-up movie” as well, so it looks like “Thriller” just can’t be stopped. Well, as Vincent Price once said, "No mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller."
We just hope Michael himself gets resurrected with all those zombies … and that there are no children around when that happens.
