Sony Pictures Entertaiment announced last month that the release date for "Michael Jackson: This Is It" has been moved up to Oct. 28, two days earlier than previously announced. Tickets go on sale Sept. 27.

The film, built around rehearsal footage left behind after Jackson's death, will be released in a limited two-week theatrical engagement worldwide. You can watch a snippet of that rehearsal right here on STAGE TUBE.

The studio also announced longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega is officially directing "This Is It," which offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Jackson preparing for a series of London shows he was rehearsing when he died June 25.

Ortega had been working with Jackson on the "This Is It" concert tour. His other credits include the "High School Musical" movies and an upcoming remake of "Footloose."

This Is It is being produced with the full support of The Estate of Michael Jackson and will be drawn from hundreds of hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage, captured in high definition with state-of-the-art digital sound as the late singer was preparing for his concert series in London. It has now been revealed that the film will debut an unreleased song by the late pop icon titled, 'A Place with No Name', you can here a snippet of the new tune byclicking here.

The film, which will also offer select sequences in 3-D, will provide a unique career retrospective and feature interviews with some of Jackson's closest friends and creative collaborators.
