QuoteThe last videos of Michael Jackson were so top secret, they were transported in an unmarked truck, accompanied by armed guards in the dead of the night ... this according to new docs filed in the Conrad Murray manslaughter case.


You ask what Conrad Murray has to do with MJ videos?  Well, Dr. Murray wants to see ALL of the rehearsal videos shot for the doomed "This is It" tour.  Murray's lawyers believe it could show Michael was in such a frail condition ... there were many reasons for his death other than Propofol.

Murray's lawyers subpoenaed the tapes, but now Sony Pictures -- which has possession of the videos -- is objecting for several reasons.  Sony claims there are more than 20 boxes of videos and it would cost $200,000 to log and reproduce all of them.

But in the docs, Sony describes how top secret the videos were to the studio.  Sony lawyers say, "When they were transported to the Sony lot in Culver City, the transport in an unmarked truck was accompanied by armed guards in the dead of the night."

When the tapes were in an editing bay, security guards were posted outside the door and no Internet access was allowed in the room.

And a Sony honcho also submitted a declaration which says the videos "have a high monetary value inherent in their potential for future uses.  Those uses include one or more 'anniversary editions.'"

By the way, I think there is LOTS of footage from lots of years. That is why there are probably also that many tapes.

you could be on to something there.

Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars? Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, "I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight," people would say, "Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth."

HOLD UP!!!!!!! IF THIS COMPANY WAS BEHIND THE EDITING OF THIS IS IT MOVIE, WHY IS IT KENNY ORTEGA WAS PAID ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE SAME JOB!!! YEP BECAUSE THAT MONEY WAS NOT, I REPEAT NOT FOR EDITING BUT IT WAS A PAY OFF!!!!

Tustin man edited Jackson film 'This Is It'
February 12, 2010|By ELYSSE JAMESTUSTIN "This Is It," the documentary film of Michael Jackson's pre-tour rehearsals, grossed more than $260 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.

That's due in part to the work of Tustin resident Brandon Key, who, along with Don Brochu, Tim Patterson and Kevin Stitt, spent weeks sifting through 120 hours of Michael Jackson rehearsal footage after the pop star's death on June 25.

The editing team has been nominated for an ACE Eddie Award on Sunday, up for Best Edited Documentary against Geoffrey Richman for "The Cove" and Kim Roberts for "Food, Inc."

The rehearsal footage was planned to promote the star's planned 50-show run in London. Jackson liked to document his whole process, Key said, so Patterson had been filming the rehearsals.

"All of a sudden, M.J. died," Key said. "Suddenly this became the most valuable footage on the planet."

Key was called in to help Patterson sort through the hours of material and create a clip to help prove Jackson had been physically ready for the tour, a prevailing question among fans.

"There was speculation about whether we had cut around anything to make Michael look good. It comes through in the film he was ready to do this concert and put his heart and soul into this big comeback," Key said. "It would have been the most spectacular show of the decade, if not the last 20-30 years."

Over the next two weeks, Key and Patterson combined clips of select songs to show the executives at the entertainment company AEG. Don Brochu and Kevin Stitt joined the team.

"I think that's when it happened," Key said. "They started thinking, 'We have enough to make a feature film.'"

The editors spent the next few weeks dissecting the film song by song, he said. They worked 16 hour days, 7 days a week until they had gathered 3 ½ hours of behind-the-scenes material into a rough draft where each song told a story. The 2-hour film opened in theaters on Oct. 28.

Key is particularly proud of the "Billie Jean" rehearsal scene.

"It's just him dancing alone on the stage with no other story, props, anything," Key said. "The dancers are in the audience and you can see the adoration they have for him."

The first draft of the movie was shown to AEG executives and director Kenny Ortega.

"Kenny was speechless," Key said. "It was always for the fans. He wanted to give them a last look at (Michael's) humanity. He wanted the world to know Michael Jackson as he knew Michael Jackson, which was as an innocent, caring, humble individual."

Twenty-two documentaries were eligible for the ACE Eddie Award, said American Cinema Editors spokeswoman Lea Yardum. The list was narrowed down to three based on votes by the group's 600 members.

"This Is It" is Key's first feature film. Previously, he's worked on commercials, corporate productions, stage shows and special events through his post production company, Digital Cut.

"We were used to creating something out of nothing. This was shot without any plan, that was unique," Key said. "It was kind of fun being at the center of pop culture for a few weeks."

To me Michael never looked frail or exhausted! He was like a 20 year old young guy dancing and moving, may be these tapes will finally expose the hoax and what happened on june 25, may be this is the end of the beginning, who knows?

Michael was so healthy and strong in TII but could he show some acting skills to show up at the trial? Yeah, why not. It would help Murray to be acquitted. So be ready for an acting frail, sick Michael. I would definitely not be surprised.

Sorta how he acted weak and helpless as the Scarecrow in The Wiz. (Notice the crows like in Dumbo and the Sunflowers. Connection or coincidence?)

Tapes?

Who the fuck uses tape anymore. No one. This would all be digital footage.

This is a direct link to the "missing tapes" CCTV footage from Carrolwood... which in my opinion is a direct tie in or link to something else.

I believe there ARE missing tapes, or secret tapes, or tapes that are very valuable, and hold some secret, some giant key to this entire puzzle... but I believe they are from years ago... say... 2003ish... and I believe they will come to light... and they are just flirting with us.

Beautifully said, Bec!  My thoughts exactly!

God bless all! :)



You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love who\'d think I\'d find
Someone like you to call mine

It played on BET a few nights ago. Although it was a blockbuster failure, I still love that movie very much. Ecspecially the part when they fix Mike up @ the Wicked Witch scene and he gets up and does a cute little dance to show he's 'alright' haha!
Ok, back on topic, I read the hearing that was on June 16 and they have officially confused the hell out of me and themselves. The definition 'raw' footage is in question, I guess. Has anyone else read it?
