The movie titled This Is It will open in most countries around the world on October 28 for a limited two-week run.
The film is being culled from more than 100 hours of rehearsal footage shot between April and June in Los Angeles, where Jackson prepared for his comeback before dying suddenly on June 25 at age 50.
The film will feature 3-D sequences and will also include a retrospective of his career and interviews with friends and collaborators. Proceeds from the film will go to the Michael Jackson Family Trust.

Kenny Ortega, who was both Michael Jackson's creative partner and the director of the stage show, has directed the film, which is being produced by Randy Phillips and Paul Gongaware.
The film will be distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures.
