Taking footage from his upcoming tour rehearsals and other behind the scenes footage, they’ve produced a "THIS IS IT" movie. I’ll probably end up taking in the movie when it’s released. The man was a master. Observing his talent on the giant theater screen will be a great time.

On the EternalMoonwalk site fans can upload videos of themselves doing the moonwalk and sharing their tribute to the man who made it look effortless and mesmerizing at the same time. Studio Brussel has edited the videos together to make what appears to be an almost seamless transition from one video to the next as fans literally moonwalk around the world!

The one surprising thing to me is how many fans don’t come close to moonwalking, but it still makes for a meaningful tribute and memorial to Michael Jackson.

Uncover and participate in the EternalMoonwalk: A Tribute to Michael Jackson yourself.
