Subject: Thriller director suing Jackson

Written By: Philip Eno on 01/29/09 at 11:00 am

John Landis, who directed Michael Jackson's Thriller music video, is suing the pop star over his share of profits from the short film.

The film-maker claims he has not received his 50% share for at least the past four years from Jackson's now-defunct company Optimum Productions.

He also alleges the star does not have the right to license games, toys and comics based on the zombie video.

Landis is best known for Blues Brothers and An American Werewolf in London.

Oh come on, Landis can't be short on dough and going to court with Jacko must be like a prostate exam with a wire brush!  Maybe it has something to do with the imminent "Thriller" musical.

Poor Michael can't catch a break! I'm not surprised he's disappeared into obscurity. All these lawsuits would keep me awake all night and slowly drive me insane.
