IMAX announced on Wednesday, which would have been Michael Jackson’s 60th birthday, that it was partnering with Jackson’s estate to digitally remaster the 'Thriller' short film and release it in IMAX 3D for the first time ever.
'Thriller' was originally filmed by John Landis, as an adaptation of the most famous song from Jackson’s most famous album, and premiered in 1983. The new 3D version was first shown at the 2017 Venice Film Festival, but will now be available in IMAX 3D theaters for a limited engagement.
The showings will run for one week only, starting Sep. 21. The only catch? 'Thriller 3D' will only be shown ahead of screenings of Eli Roth’s The House with a Clock in Its Walls.
