New state-of-the-art, cutting-edge holographic technology could be used to bring a “live” Michael Jackson show to the Strip. That’s the incredible plan being proposed and developed by a concert promoter who worked with the King of Pop.
The proposed Las Vegas residency, which would have a live-action, full-body, three-dimensional image of Michael onstage solo or alongside singers and dancers, comes on the heels of this past weekend’s $100-million-plus global haul for This Is It. (The docu-movie grossed $23 million alone in the U.S.)
Says New Jersey promoter Patrick Allocco: “This would become This Is Now. It really could be billed as Michael Jackson Live. Real singers and dancers could perform live around the holographic image.”
The technology would allow the creation of a 3-D Michael Jackson dancing and singing image from the This Is It rehearsals footage and other video. Patrick says it would be simple for members of the Jackson family and other entertainers to perform duets with the holographic figure that could be maneuvered to perform any of Michael’s catalog of music.
