Sħãlïq™ Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Spike Lee working on Michael Jackson filmSpike Lee has revealed he is close to finishing a Michael Jackson documentary marking the 25th anniversary of the singer's Bad album. http://www.leewardstimes.com/images/stories/729/_61509941_61505140.jpeg The director said the footage to which he was given access was a "treasure chest of findings". "We have footage in this documentary that no one's ever seen - stuff that Michael shot himself and behind the scenes stuff,"he said. The film is due to be released later this year. It tells the story behind the 1987 album, the record-breaking world tour it led to and the short film music videos it spawned. These include the video promo for the title track, directed by Martin Scorsese and featuring the actor Wesley Snipes. "We had complete access to the vaults of Michael Jackson," Lee said. "He wrote 60 demos for the Bad record. Only 11 made it. "We got to hear a lot of that stuff, too, so it was just a great experience." The documentary features 40 interviews Lee conducted with Jackson's confidants, choreographers, musicians and other collaborators. He also includes interviews with Kanye West, Mariah Carey and Sheryl Crow - who was a backup singer on the Bad tour - about the album's lasting influence.Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
