'Michael Jackson's Vision' DVD Boxed Set Available Everywhere Monday November 22
More Than 40 Videos In Newly Restored Color and Remastered Audio
In collaboration with the Estate of Michael Jackson, Epic/Legacy Recordings is releasing Michael Jackson's Vision on November 22, making available for the first time ever the entire library of short films produced by Michael Jackson during his career as a solo artist.
Packaged as a deluxe boxed set, Michael Jackson's Vision contains more than four-and-one-half hours of content across three DVDs, capturing the entire spectrum of Michael’s pioneering short films that transformed the entertainment industry with timeless, pop culture classics that today’s youth embrace with as much passion as their parents did a generation earlier.
Michael Jackson's Vision brings together more than 40 videos, ten of them previously unavailable on DVD and each presented in newly restored color and remastered audio. And this release marks the debut of the short film for the R. Kelly-penned "One More Chance."
The simultaneous emergence of MTV as a television force and Michael Jackson’s breakout as a global superstar provided the most epochal musical/cultural shift since the Beatles. Seizing the potential of MTV's 24-hour reach, Michael Jackson produced and starred in a series of what would become iconic short musical films that redefined and established the perimeters, and parameters, of an entire new medium.
Jackson's short-form zombie dance party masterpiece, "Thriller," famously directed by John Landis, remains a cultural phenomenon. It recently became the first (and only) music video to be inducted by the Library of Congress into the National Film Registry, an elite collection of only a few hundred films.
Michael Jackson's Vision includes the full-length versions of the John Landis-directed "Thriller" and “Black or White” as well as the classic “Bad” directed by Academy Award ®-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Also included in the boxed set are Michael’s collaborations with such other noted film directors as John Singleton, Spike Lee and David Fincher as well as “Ghosts,” his rarely-seen collaboration with special effects legend Stan Winston.
Michael Jackson's Vision will be available in a limited edition deluxe boxed set featuring a 60-page glossy hard-bound book that includes behind-the-scenes photos from Michael's personal archives.
The state-of-the-art packaging includes cover art using lenticular virtual imaging technology to vividly represent memorable scenes from Michael Jackson's signature short films.

Wanda
YES! LOVE IT! CANT WAIT!
But They're Missing his Short Movies:
Ghost, Smooth Criminal, Captain EO, BAD, & Moonwalker.
@aquablue: WHAT in the world are you doing here, calling MJ 'Jacko'??!!! Oh my GOD!!! Do you not know that he absolutely HATED that degrading moniker???!! PLEASE do NOT refer to him as that ever again! Thanks!
Great, great ! November will be the MJ's month !
At last, nearly the complete clips collection. Just a few regrets (as many of us expressed in the comments) not to find in this set : Ghost, the FULL version, History, and Captain Eo...
I will buy this because my collection at the moment is very dis-jointed, but I hope Sony realise that Michael always put his fans at the top of the list, and he never tried to manipulate us. If they keep selling us 90% of things we already have, combined with 10% of new material, we are going to show our disgust. Why on earth is the full length Ghosts video not included? I feel that probably the fans will give Sony the benefit of the doubt this time but we expect better than this. Sony, you know what we want. It is time for you to give the fans some respect, we have paid our dues over the years.
