“This Is It,” the movie chronicling the last three months of Michael Jackson’s life, is set for a limited two week release on Oct. 28.

Jackson was to perform a set of concerts in London beginning this summer on his final tour.

The movie shows behind-the-scene footage of Jackson in preparation for the “This Is It” tour, as he practiced singing and choreography.

“This Is It” will give the audience an inside look at Jackson’s life, with over 100 hours of unseen material, leading up to what would have been the start of the tour.

Most are probably sick of hearing about the death of Michael Jackson, especially since there have been many other celebrity deaths since his passing, and the thought going through many people’s minds is most likely “we’ve seen enough.”

In some instances, I have to agree, we have seen enough of Michael Jackson’s death in the sense that may he rest in peace. I’m not saying we need to forget his amazing talent, but give his family the privacy they deserve.

The King of Pop will not be forgotten.

He was an outstanding performer and “This Is It” will give people the opportunity to see his talent one more time.
