Michael Jackson's Thriller (1983) [No 3D Blu-ray] - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Richard--W · 10-11-2014, 06:48 PM

I would much prefer to see Captain Eo (1986), the interactive short lasting 17 minutes. It was written by George Lucas and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Since it was shot in 70mm 3-D it doesn't need to be converted, and it looks spectacular. Easy on the eyes, like stepping through a window. The demand is so great for this one that fans aimed their cameras at the screen. Flat bootlegs proliferate. But never a peep from the studio about a 3-D release.

This probably won't be out until Halloween next year.

Same here... and as mentioned a Captain EO release would be welcomed as well

Its still playing at Disney World so, I doubt they would released it on Blu-ray. If they did, they would need to have Bob Furmanek and Greg Kintz correct the 3D alignment as it has a lot of ghosting/crosstalk.

Agreed. That would have been nice if it was packaged in 3D with this one.

That is amazing they still have that one there playing.

When was this supposed to be released on blu ray 3D?

Knocks · 02-02-2015, 06:33 AM

This is just Jon Landis trying to cash in on his settlement with Jackon's estate. They probably threw in the rights to release a Blu-ray with a cut of the profits as a term of the deal to make him drop the case, and 3D is just an excuse to get the disc out the door.

Personally I don't care about 3D very much, but if the disc includes a regular version in 1080p, then sign me up! If MJ fans get one more video restored in HD, then the lawsuit was for the public good.

Micahel Jackson's Thriller -- more than 13 and half minutes long. The quality doesn't look that great (based on this video clip) so I can' be sure how well it will convert to 3D unless it's in pristine condition. I hope it turns out well.

And I also agree that MJ's Captain Euueww -- oops! I mean Captain EO -- makes it to 3D BD. I recall seeing it in 3D at Magic Kingdom in Orlando years ago.

Saw Captain EO at Disney World last year. The picture is on the soft side and the 3D has lots of ghosting.

robtadrian · 02-03-2015, 05:17 PM

In the book My Friend Michael, his associate Frank Cascio says that MJ was researching 3d technology (in 2003) because he knew that's where the industry "was going next". So maybe the estate has some test footage that could be included...

MJ definitely experimented on his face, so I can envision him experimenting with 3D.

There is some 3D footage that was shot on the This Is It Blu-ray.

I have MJ's This Is It on 2D Blu-ray. Which sequence in the presentation was available in 3D? Sounds interesting.

If you can aquire This Is It 3D Blu-ray it has a few short vigilantes in 3D - Earth Song, Thriller and Smooth Criminal if I recall correctly. These are a combination of live action and CGI sequences designed to be played on giant screens before the song. They all look great in 3D.

Neat-O as long as it includes the making of that is. But I say forget Thriller... WE NEED CAPTAIN EO!

Yeah, they should include both on one 3D disc since they're short 3D films. I'm guessing Eo is locked into a theme park contract.

Is this still happening this year ???

No news as yet. I would of thought they would release it around Halloween if it's happening.

Shahzar06 · 03-11-2017, 12:35 AM

So.... What happened with this?

The80s · 03-17-2017, 03:15 PM

I hope they get the original negative and do a full 4K restoration, and then 3D conversion, so it looks and sounds the best it possibly can. I would buy this the first second it became available. Roll out the initial sale in late September and I bet it'd sell like crazy in time for the Halloween season, assuming they hyped it properly.

Three years since they announced this. What the hell is the holdup?
