Jackson died on a Thursday, which meant AEG executives in London and the company’s Los Angeles headquarters had a marathon meeting. Amid their grief, AEG executives started trying to figure out what to do about their investment, even as the words “financial disaster” started to creep into news reports.
“We weren’t thinking that way,” Leiweke says. “We knew we were in a bad spot and dealing with a crisis, but we believed eventually we’d work our way out of this. Needless to say, those were really difficult, long days—bad days—but I don’t think we ever panicked. We had faith that we would eventually find a way to come out of this and recoup the investment.”
The decision that saved “This Is It”—as both AEG’s investment and Jackson’s legacy—had been made weeks before. Rehearsals had been filmed, and it is that edited footage that became the Sony Pictures film.
“I said, ‘We’ve got to archive your comeback because this is going to be historical,’ and [Jackson] agreed,” Phillips says. “We never expected it to be a movie. This was really for his personal archives—and also to be B-roll and behind-the-scenes footage that probably would have been a DVD concert film.”
Within days of Jackson’s death, AEG started editing the rehearsal footage into a narrative at AEG’s L.A. Live facilities . “Under armed guards we had the editors working for three weeks collating 130 hours [of footage] and distilling it down to three-and-a-half hours in the first pass,” Phillips says. “And then we took 12 minutes of that and used it as a demo.”

MJ在周四去世,AEG的伦敦执行官和公司在洛杉矶的总部进行了马拉松式的会议。他们都很悲痛,AEG公司负责人试图对投资找出挽救方式,甚至“金融灾难”这个词都开始出现在新闻报道上。
“我们没想到的解决方式,”莱维克说。 “我们知道我们处在一个很坏的局面必须去应对这个危机,但我们最终我们会找到出路。不用说,这些是非常困难的,日子是这样长处境是这样坏----但是我们没有惊慌失措。我们都相信最终我们会解决好它的,会找到方法挽救我们的投资”
THIS IS IT既是AEG公司的投资也是MJ的遗产。我们吧MJ的排练拍摄下来,然后编辑,THIS IS IT就成为了索尼电影。“我对MJ说,我们将会把你的复出拍摄存档,因为这将会是历史性的表演”,MJ也同意了。Phillips说:“我们从未想过THIS IS IT会变为一场电影,这真是他私人的,这将会是B卷(不懂这里怎么翻),这些幕后的排练场景将会被发行在THIS IS IT的DVD版本中”
在MJ去世后的日子,AEG在LA的公司里开始编辑MJ的彩排镜头。在武装警卫期间,我们花了3周的时间去将130多小时的录影带压缩剪辑成3个半小时---这还只是第一阶段。Phillips说:“然后我们花了12分钟去将它作为DEMO演示” |
