Michael Jackson has made more money dead than you or I will ever make alive, and now his estate will rake in a few additional loads of cheddar. GK Films is in negotiations to acquire a package for a film that will turn Jackson’s hit song Thriller into a big screen blockbuster smash hit bonanza. Kenny Ortega, who directed This Is It… (which was clearly a lie), will also direct Thriller. The Hangover writer Jeremy Garelick will take scripting duties.

Deadline reports that the plot is being kept under wraps, but "it has to do with the song’s folklore, involving Vincent Price and the town he grew up in." What? You take a song with an awesome video involving zombies and werewolves and you turn it into a Vincent Price biopic? Piece of advice, money men. Don’t blow a boatload of cash on a Michael Jackson project about Vincent Price. I’m sure the Price estate would give you his anecdotes in exchange for a nice Sunday sit down dinner.
