Michael Jackson hoped to bring 3-D, full-length 'Thriller' to fruition says Kenny Ortega

There is nothing Michael Jackson couldn't do. One is only limited by their imaginations, something that was never an issue of Jackson whose creativity knew no boundaries. In a new interview, the director of 'This Is It' Kenny Ortega talks Michael Jackson and his hopes of bringing a 3-D, full-length 'Thriller' feature to fruition.

Ortega says:

"He told me he wanted to create a partnership with me to do films. We were talking about doing Legs Diamond. And we were talking about doing a full-length, 3-D feature of ‘Thriller.’ ”

That certainly would have been epic. According Entertainment Weekly, Amy Pascal co-chairman of Sony Pictures reveals:

“A million years ago, when I worked with [then-Columbia Pictures president] Dawn Steel, she and I tried to convince Michael to do a remake of The Red Shoes. Michael’s life became The Red Shoes, I’m afraid.”

The Red Shoes is a story about a ballet dancer whose shoes compell her to dance and ultimately results in her death.

What do you think? Would you have loved to have seen a full-lenth 'Thriller'?
