Michael Jackson’s short-film anthology “Moonwalker” may finally get a debut theatrical screening in the United States more than 20 years after it was released.
Back in 1988, MJ first unveiled the ambitious project, which contained several long-form videos for songs off his then-just-released Bad album, including his famous 25-minute clip for “Smooth Criminal.” The film had been scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters that Christmas, but for whatever reason, that plan was scrapped. The movie was released on VHS early in 1989, and — surprise, surprise — became a massive success. But now, more than two decades after its debut, one theater is planning to give “Moonwalker” a proper premiere here in the States.
Hollywood’s Arclight Cinemas is actively searching for a print of the film, with plans to show it on the big screen … for one night only.
