GK电影公司目前正在与Real Effects娱乐公司积极谈判，希望获得迈克尔杰克逊经典MV《颤栗者》同名电影的改编权。据悉，如果双方谈成，GK公司将邀请《就是这样》的导演肯尼奥特加来执导这部影片，并让《宿醉》编剧杰瑞米盖瑞里克来创作剧本，预计投资5000万美元。拍摄于1983年的《颤栗者》MV由约翰兰迪斯执导，是流行天王杰克逊的代表作，总长14分钟，有故事情节，其中墓地舞蹈的部分堪称经典。从《颤栗者》开始，拍摄MV成为时髦，人们也由此进入了一个“看”歌时代。除了GK外，福克斯2000、狮门以及顶峰影业等公司也在争夺这部MV的电影改编权。

Michael Jackson’s Thriller made history as one of the most cinematic music videos of all time.

杰克逊去世一年 收入十亿

Michael Jackson’s Thriller made history as one of the most cinematic music videos of all time. Now it may make history as the only music video to inspire a big-budget, feature-length film. Deadline reports that a number of studios are bidding on the rights to make a Thriller movie. Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) is currently hooked to direct while Jeremy Garelick (The Hangover) is set to write the screenplay. The film will have a budget under $50 million.

Ortega is most famously known for his High School Musical movies, which made a star out of Zac Efron, but the director also helmed the cult 1990s Halloween movie Hocus Pocus, starring Bette Middler and Sarah Jessica Parker as witches who hope to regain their youth by sucking the life out of children. He also directed and choreographed Michael Jackson’s This Is It, which chronicles the singer’s preparation for his final tour.

GK Films, Fox 2000, Lionsgate, and Summit Entertainment are all bidding on the film, which will not be possible unless a deal can be made with Michael Jackson’s estate, though such a deal may be forthcoming.

The plot of the Thriller movie is still unknown, but it’s presumed that Vincent Price’s voice will be used just as it was in the 14-minute music video. John Landis (Animal House, Coming to America) directed the original music video, which had Michael Jackson taking a young woman to the movies only to transform into a zombie and dance in sync with a group of rhythmically-gifted undead folks. Rod Temperton, who wrote the Thriller song, is also involved in the film.
