The trailer for Michael Jackson's "This Is It"
Before Michael Jackson's death earlier this year, he was preparing for a string of 50 high-profile and meticulously choreographed performances in London. Today fans of the King of Pop will get to see what he had planned for his big comeback in the movie version of the show, called "This Is It." We talk to Chris Hawkins, a presenter on BBC 6Music, who joins us from outside of a movie theater in London, where fans, including Yvonne Holland, are lining up to see the film.
