Website http://www.thatgrapejuice.com/ uncovered even more details about the film, check it out:

- Trailers are mostly done, and we're waiting partly on the footage from the funeral which is being added in now. Expect to see the first ad premiere next weekend.

- The movie is not a 2 hour concert like many fans thought. In fact the movie is simply a documentary based around the "This Is It" tour. It shows Jackson in his final days and includes his death, aftermath, and reaction. Clips from the memorial and funeral will be used.

- There will be some footage of Michael performing, much longer then the 3-4 minute snippet released at the end of June by AEG. You will see Michael in his dressing room, mingling and directing, plus one scene where he talks to the camera. Basically, it will show Jackson in his final months alive.

- The movie is between 100 and 130 minutes in length.

- The plan is to have the DVD version released in late November by Thanksgiving or early December at the latest, although some sources revealed this may be a long shot if they extend the 2 week showing to 3 or 4 weeks (which is possible).

- The DVD will contain the theatrical version in its whole plus over 2 hours of Jackson performing, warming up his vocals, singing, and in full costume. The most spectacular footage is by far from the Staples Center in LA which will "blow fans away". This extra footage will be a special feature on the DVD along with many other treats that fans will love.

- Finally, the CD soundtrack will be released after the movie, most likely sometime in November to coincide with the DVD launch and will include a new song Jackson recorded in his last 2 years alive. Apparently the song is "Off the Hook" and is currently being worked on by producers who are putting the finishing touches on it and is being considered to be issued as a single all around the world.

This is a great way to remember such a legendary person!
