At midnight last night, MichaelJackson.com released the new MJ single “This Is It,” a mellow love song that features background vocals from his brothers. You can listen to it here:

And of course, later this month on Wednesday, October 28, the new movie also titled “This Is It” will be released into theaters. It’s a documentary containing footage of Michael Jackson’s final days– literally, some of it was shot the week he died– as he rehearsed for what was supposed to be his final concert tour. The new single above will reportedly play over the end credits. Here’s the official trailer from Sony Pictures:

I don’t know what kind of box office they’re expecting, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be the highest grossing documentary of all-time, surpassing the Michael Moore films currently at the top. It’ll definitely do numbers overseas. Should be an amazing last look at the last days of a man who, in my opinion, was the greatest musical entertainer in history, doing what he loved.
