Michael Jackson Wrapped Secret Film Project Two Weeks Before He Died
Posted on Wed Jul 1, 2009 08:10 AM PDT
Two weeks before his death, Michael Jackson wrapped up work on a secret film titled the "Dome Project," which could be the final finished video piece overseen by the pop icon, reports The Associated Press.
Jackson was apparently preparing to use the video as a part of a high-tech show that would play during his London concert series, where 3D images would flash behind him as he performed on stage.
Sources tell the AP that it was a five-week project filmed at Culver Studios, and four sets were built for Jackson's production, including a cemetery recalling his 1983 "Thriller" video. In addition to the cemetery, one set was draped in black with an oversized portrait of Jackson in his "Thriller" werewolf costume, while another set was designed to look like a jungle, and a fourth set was built to look like a construction site. A source tells the AP that one scene filmed on the construction site set included "scantily clad male dancers wearing carpenter's belts." Oh boy.
The project was shot from June 1-9, with Jackson on the set most of those days. According to one source close to production, Jackson would arrive in a caravan of SUVs with a bunch of beefy security guards in tow. Jackson "introduced himself to workers on the set and walked with a spring in his step but at one point needed assistance as he descended steps off a stage."
Vince Pace, whose company provided cameras for the shoot, told the AP, "It was a groundbreaking effort. To think that Michael's gone now, that's probably the last documented footage of him to be shot in that manner."
Should be interesting to see!
How long will the Jackson craze last? 3 months? 6 months?
