Michael Jackson's iconic 'Thriller' video will be released in 3D next year.
The 14-minute 1983 classic short film will be overhauled by original director John Landis after he resolved a dispute with the late star's estate, and it could even be released in cinemas.
A family insider says the release of the 3D film represents part of a plan Michael had for his 50 date London residency 'This Is It' show before his death in 2009.
The source told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "John has been secretly working away on this for several months now.
"The iconic video has never been released on Blu-ray or seen in cinemas and 3-D, and that was always a vision Michael had. In fact, his 'This Is It' London show was meant to feature a segment which included a 3-D performance."
The estate are even looking into turning 'Thriller' into a franchise.
The source said: "The estate has been looking at gaming ideas, too, and 'Thriller' fits into the genre.
"It could a be a dance experience or a zombie-style,shoot-' em-up-style movie. There are so many possibilities with this creative masterpiece."
Official paperwork from the Jackson estate reveals plans for ventures including "multiple albums," "Internet games" and "film, documentary and a Broadway play about Michael."
'Thriller' - which had a reported budget of $500,000 - was the first music video to be inducted into the National Film Registry in 2009.
