South Africa really wants to see MJ's This Is It Flick



Ster-Kinekor Theatres (SK) has broken all previous pre-sale ticket records for a film release in South Africa. With over 18 000 tickets sold to date for Michael Jackson THIS IS IT, and still 8 days to go before Ster-Kinekor starts showing this highly anticipated film from 28 October along with cinemas globally, it is expected that this number will be surpassed.

Only a few tickets are still left over for the official South African premieres of the film, exclusive to Ster-Kinekor Theatres. These events will take place in Johannesburg (SK Fourways), Durban (SK Gateway), Cape Town (Cavendish Square) and Pretoria (SK Sterland). Each will have a live satellite link to the Los Angeles-premiere of THIS IS IT, and will also include plenty of other thrills to make this an iconic Michael Jackson-experience like no other!

Ster-Kinekor Group Marketing Executive Michael Bender says, “Considering that we have already doubled the previous record of 7 500 pre-sales at local cinemas, and that we still have a two-week showing of THIS IS IT after the premiere, I am convinced that we will exceed this number and set the benchmark for others to follow in the future. What is even more remarkable is that these pre-sales prove that the cinema experience is still a viable entertainment option to escape the recession.
More importantly, it proves that Michael Jackson is a legend and will always be the King of Pop!”
Following the 2am- premieres of Michael Jackson THIS IS IT on 28 October, the film then starts showing at Ster-Kinekor Theatres nationwide for a special, limited two week-release (normal show times & ticket prices apply).
All Ster-Kinekor cinemas will join the worldwide release of the film to celebrate the pop icon’s life and work - including a Celebratory Wall at selected cinemas. Personal messages left by fans will be collected by Ster-Kinekor Theatres for a bound album to be sent to the Jackson family, in acknowledgment of the contributions he made to Africa.

INFORMATION:
Tickets cost R200, visit Ster Kinekor to book your tickets for the premiere.

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.
