Quotes

"what we did here was focus on telling a good story and creating a film for the fans, really enabling them to understand what michael jackson had dreamed for them" Mr Ortega said
Director Kenny Ortega, a longtime Jackson collaborator, had promised that the film would present the singer in a new light. "the fans knew that he was the creative genius behind all the big ideas, but i think what's beautiful here is that you actually see him in action" Ortega told The Canadian Press in a recent interview
"Michael Jackson's This Is It" was not supposed to be it. "I am sorry there had to be a movie," says Kenny Ortega of his latest feature-length film. "this is not the way i wanted to tell this story." But death brings incontrovertible finality, even for a global icon like Jackson...
"he was excited, looking forward to (it), happy, pleased with what we had accomplished up until that moment and looking forward to finishing up the rehearsals in los angeles and moving on to london" Ortega said
