Kenny Ortega, yang merupakan rakan kreatif dan pengarah pertunjukkan Michael Jackson  mengarahkan filem terbitan Randy Phillips, Kenny Ortega dan Paul Gongaware itu.

“Dunia akan dapat melihat pengalaman yang kami amat bertuah untuk melalui semangat yang membara dan daya kreativiti tinggi yang Michael suntik dalam projek ini.

Tinggal kenangan.

“Rakaman filem ini dapat menunjukkan Michael dalam situasi sebenar, bagaimana beliau begitu terlibat secara kreatif dalam segala aspek penerbitan, dari tahap pementasan dan koreografi, muzik, pencahayaan pentas, reka bentuk produksi dan penghasilan filem pendek asli serta latar belakang video.

“Pertunjukkan ini juga akan menonjolkan Michael sebagai seorang penghibur yang terunggul di dunia malah beliau antara penghibur yang mempunyai pemikiran yang paling kreatif. This Is It adalah hasil kerja pentas Michael yang terakhir.

“Walaupun ia masih ditahap persediaan, namun saya percaya filem ini akan menunjukkan bagaimana Michael menikmati setiap tahap persediaan dan tidak syak lagi pertunjukkan ini akan mencapai kejayaan yang besar,” kata  Ortega.

Siaran ulangan terhad filem itu pada 26 Jun pukul 1.00 pagi, 1.00 tengah hari dan 10.50 malam.

“Bukan mengugut… memang macam itulah. Kalau filem ini balik modal bolehlah kita gunakan wang kutipan itu untuk modal pusingan menerbitkan filem lagi selepas ini.

“Saya tak buat pinjaman, jadi saya memang mengharapkan kutipan filem untuk membuat perancangan menerbitkan filem seterusnya,” kata penerbit itu.

Percintaan sesama lelaki jadi tema.
Filem … Dalam Botol juga dimulakan setelah filem Haru Biru terbitannya mencapai kutipan yang diharapkan.

…Dalam Botol sebuah filem yang memang sensasi dan hot sejak awal dicanangkan pasal projek pembikinannya. Apatah lagi ia memaparkan isu yang cukup sensitif dalam masyarakat Malaysia, iaitu isu penukaran jantina.

Fiilem arahan Shadan Hashim itu membawakan sisi gelap kehidupan homoseksual. Ia mengisahkan sepasang lelaki gay yang dilamun cinta, Rubidin dan Ghaus. Rubidin sangat menyintai Ghaus sehingga sanggup berkorban dengan melakukan pembedahan jantina setelah merasai lelaki itu semakin menggemari wanita.

Malangnya, Ghaus tidak dapat menerima Rubidin. Rubidin yang kecewa kembali ke identiti asalnya sebagai lelaki. Kemudian, dia jatuh cinta pada Dina. Gadis itu juga menerima cintanya sehiingga Dina tahu kebenaran Rubidin yang tiada anggota sulit lelaki.

GUTS – Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ”Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?”

BALLS – Is coming home late after a night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: ”You’re next, fatty.”

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately result in death.

Khan is to be presented with an award from southern Malacca state which carries the title “Datuk”, equivalent to a British knighthood, after a 2001 film set in Malacca boosted its profile as a tourist destination.

He was to receive the award on 29 November but state officials postponed the event last week.

“From the beginning (Shah Rukh) had agreed to come to Malacca and gave several dates but the ones given were not suitable for the state as they fell on work days,” state secretary Omar Kaseh said in a statement. December 6 falls on a Saturday.

He said Shah Rukh would receive the honour dressed in a traditional Malay outfit with a black wraparound cloth as well as a Songkok, a hat usually worn by Malay Muslims but also worn by non-Muslims at state functions.

About 1,000 invitees will witness the ceremony.

Omar said Shah Rukh would be in Malacca for only a day and the Bollywood star would visit various heritage and tourism sites such as the Eye on Malaysia as well as the heritage districts of Jonker Walk and Kampung Morten.

However, the award has proved contentious, with some critics suggesting it should go to local artists or celebrities rather than a foreign actor.

Since the filming of Khan’s 2001 movie, “One 2 Ka 4″ at a popular resort in Malacca, the number of tourists coming from India has increased significantly, state officials say.

Malaysia has become a popular location for Indian films, which have a huge following among ethnic Indians and the majority Muslim-Malays.
