Michael Jackson's Thriller to be a film soon

Michael Jackson's cult music video for his 1982 hit Thriller is set to get the Hollywood treatment. High School Musical helmer Kenny Ortega, who was the choreographer for the King of Pop's planned This Is It tour, is in line to direct a movie adaptation, reported michael-jackson-thriller-pp31357
The original 14-minute video, which saw Jackson leading a group of zombies through a now infamous dance routine, was originally shot by director John Landis and is often considered to be the greatest pop music video of all time.

It has been speculated that the forthcoming film could focus on the character played by Vincent Price in the video. Price provided the video's narrative voice as well as the rap section.

The Hangover writer Jeremy Garelick is scripting the movie's screenplay along with Rod Temperton, the man who wrote the song.

The makers of the Twilight series of films are interested in buying the rights to the films, as are Lionsgate and Twentieth Century Fox.
