Since MJ stuff is gonna sell like crazy what are the chances we finally see R1 releases of Moonwalker and Ghosts anytime soon? They are the only 2 MJ releases i have been wanting

salamander2

or MAKING OF THRILLER?

A big MJ boxed set would probably do well right now.

I mean, I wouldn't buy it, but lots of other peoples would.

Ooo, ooo, I just remembered the old Jackson 5 cartoon. That needs a dvd release now too.

If they do, hopefully Moonwalker won't be released with the R2 cover, which I think is one of the worst covers I've ever seen:

They need to use the old poser, which was badass:

I still own the old LD of Moonwalker. But I can't watch it because my LD doesn't work anymore.

I have Ghosts recorded on VHS, so at least got that to watch.

So, I second the OP's request for a region 1 dvd release of these.

I've got Moonwalker on VHS, and it's been one I've wanted on DVD for quite a while, long before MJ's death.

Moonwalker on IMDB:
MOVIEmeter: Up 6,589% in popularity this week.

Ghosts on IMDB:
MOVIEmeter: Up 2,196% in popularity this week.


Ghosts is on my want-list for future releases because of Stephen King's involvement. I'm no Michael Jackson fan, but I'd pick up Moonwalker, too, for the novelty of it. I'll put it alongside KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park and The Man Who Fell to Earth.

I did think he got to be a bit of an old poser towards the end as well.

Captain EO as well, please!

If they do a Blu-ray release, I pray they offer a free PSN download code for this:

Man, I spent WAY too much time playing that game at a friend's house back in day. That, and this one Genesis game based on one of the Terminator films.

Moonwalker I'd definitely rent, if only for the nostalgia factor.

I use to play that game all the time at my step-grandparent's house. Great game for it's time.

I'm a big MJ fan and have been dying to see Ghosts released on DVD. If both are released, then that's just a bonus, I'd buy them both for sure.

I had a MJ memorial party a week ago and we all watched the Moonwalker. I've seen it in 1991 as a kid and now own a R2 DVD and I was going on for a long time about how there's no proper widescreen release for that or Ghost. If they ever come out (and of course 'The Making of Thriller') I'd buy them on day one.

And, they could offer the arcade version, which was a different game: http://www.sydlexia.com/moonwalker.htm

I had never even heard of "GHOSTS" which just goes to show you how much I cared about MJ in the 1997 era. I saw all the other MJ videos and wasn't really even impressed with THRILLER when it first premiered at a theater in westwood (I'm older than some here), but I admire his early vids like "BEAT IT" and "BILLIE JEAN". I just watched "GHOSTS" on youtube and it's really just a bloated re-do of THRILLER. But it feels even MORE 80's than THRILLER does as THRILLER was made in the early 80's before that era became really sickening. GHOSTS has so much of that Spielbergy-wide-eyed characters in awe of what's going on as the over-emotion music plays. Really puke-inducing in those moments - and this was late 90's! It's not terrible overall, but the songs aren't very good and the choreography looks the same as THRILLER and BEAT IT did 15+ years earlier. No wonder this made no big splash. That said, I was surprised during the end credit sequence as to what's revealed at that point. Definitely raised the quality of the whole project quite a bit, even though it was pretty clear the whole project was based on this 'gimmick' reveal as those end credits last about 7-8 minutes (out of the 38 minute film).

All of this should be on DVD regardless of my comments, by the way.

Strange, because I just came from my parent's house and we watched a VCD copy of Ghosts that my brother got off of eBay years ago.

calhoun07

Whew. Good thing you gave them permission or there were going to be A LOT of pissed off fans.

Kenny22

I really loved "Ghosts", I remember seeing it by chance on ABC Family I guess the year it premiered. Very cool to know that the late Stan Winston directed it, everyone will always remember Winston for his amazing special make-up/effects but besides "Pumpkinhead" and a "Gnome Named Gnorm" this was actually Winston's last directorial effort. That's another good reason for this film to come to DVD.

I f any one is counting count me in for dvd (bluray) moonwalker and ghosts
I heard MJ has 100s of unrealeased musac sitting in his closet somewhere. I guess thats why there all these vultures circling right now//

Barrybgb

Mr. Warmth. We'll just forget the whole part where you say the 80's era became really sickening and move on from that embarrasing moment, 'kay?. 'Kay.

Rumours are he has between 100-200 songs already recorded and ready to be published. These will be released in the years to come. He planned this to make sure his children have a steady flow of income to make sure they are secure financially.

Too stay on topic, I've never seen Moonwalker but I would certainly buy it if they released it on DVD. I'm sure it won't be too long if the family wants to make boatloads, given the current used VHS prices of Moonwalker, this could be released as a bare bones DVD at a high cost and would still sell thousands.
