JACKSON PLANNED THRILLER MOVIE

MICHAEL JACKSON was planning to make a feature-length big screen version of his hit THRILLER video when he died.

Close friend and Jackson's comeback tour director Kenny Ortega reveals he had discussed several movie projects with the star - including a Thriller movie, and a film version of Peter Allen musical Legs Diamond.

Ortega tells PerezHilton.com, "He told me he wanted to create a partnership with me to do films. We were talking about doing Legs Diamond. And we were talking about doing a full-length, 3-D feature of Thriller."

Sony Pictures boss Amy Pascal has also revealed Jackson approached her to discuss movie ideas, including a musical fantasy called Midknight and a remake of British musical The Red Shoes, based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale about a "ballet dancer whose compulsion to dance ultimately destroys any hope she once had of a normal life, leading to her tragic death".

Jackson died from a cardiac arrest in June (09) at the age of 50.
