That sound you hear is the theater community heaving a collective sigh of relief.  Michael Jackson’s Broadway Thriller production might not happen.

John Landis, the director of the 1982 Thriller video, also known as Michael Jackson’s last friend, is suing him for unpaid royalties.  Landis has been a public supporter of Jackson through it all; the boys and the bleach, the lawsuits and surgical masks.  It’s been twenty-seven years though, and he wants his money.  Now, he has filed additional documents to halt development on the musical Thriller project.  He is requesting approval rights on the project; in other words, he plans to say “no” to every proposal.  Isn’t that just a kick in the pajama pants for MJ?

Here’s hoping that Landis has a top-notch legal team.

    Amazing what a lot of money, wishes to change your looks and a lack of close friends and family to say “Don’t do this – it’s idiotic and dangerous” can do to someone.
