Milking Michael Jackson's Death 101

In case you're interested in milking the death of the next celebrity, here's some information on the movie coming out about Michael Jackson. Reuters reports:

The Michael Jackson movie "This Is It" -- based on footage from concert rehearsals before his death in June -- will have simultaneous premieres in more than 15 cities around the world next month, the studio behind the film said on Monday.

"This Is It" opens to the general public on October 28 for a limited two-week run. While Hollywood movies often have several premieres around the world, they rarely happen at the same time.

But for "This Is It," more than 15 cities, including New York, Rio de Janeiro, London, Berlin and Seoul will host simultaneously premieres with a red carpet event in Los Angeles on October 27, said Sony Pictures, which paid $60 million for rights to the rehearsal footage. Names of the other premiere-night cities were not released.

Just wait til that guy who played Al on Home Improvement dies. I have huge plans for a movie about this guy and his beard and tools and flannel shirts. It's gonna be my big break into the industry and then all of you readers can go to hell because there's no way I'll be writing for this crappy blog. No, I'm kidding...seriously leave your celebparasite bookmark intact. :(
