New dimension to trailblazing pop video

VENICE, Italy - Director John Landis says his new 3D version of Thriller gives Michael Jackson fans chance to see the groundbreaking video how the late king of pop would have wanted them to.

"Michael and I always intended it to be seen in a cinema," Landis said on Monday at the launch of his new revamped version of one of popular music's most influential and successful productions at the Venice Film Festival.

Using modern technology, Landis has remixed the sound and enhanced the visuals as well as making the 1983 recordings 3D compatible.
