The law firm of Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder will celebrate the career of Michael Jackson with a screening of ‘This Is It’ at the Bijou Theatre. Koskoff attorneys who helped represent the Jackson family will hold a question-and-answer session afterwards to give attendees a glimpse into the Jackson family, the life and death of Michael Jackson, and the recent wrongful death suit against the concert promoter that hired the cardiologist who administered a fatal dose of medication to Jackson. Also discussed will be scenes from the movie that were not made public.
“Michael Jackson was a legend who was taken from the world far too soon,” said Michael Koskoff, partner at Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder and trial attorney in the case. “This is an opportunity to share the never-before-known truth about Michael Jackson’s death, and the making of ‘This Is It.’”
Several attorneys at Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder joined the legal team representing members of Jackson’s family, including his children Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson Jr., Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael “Blanket” Jackson II, as well as their grandmother and legal guardian, Katherine Jackson (Michael’s mother). Their civil suit was brought against entertainment giant Anschutz Entertainment Group and its concert promotion subsidiary, AEG Live Inc., for the death of the pop icon.
“We were privileged to get to know members of Michael Jackson’s family and, through them, to get a glimpse into his life – the life of a great artist who was widely accepted as the most successful performer the world has ever known,” Koskoff said.
‘This Is It’ is a behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his final worldwide concert tour. Chronicling the months from April through June 2009 – just before he went into cardiac arrest and died on June 25 – this film draws from more than one hundred hours of raw behind-the-scenes footage featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show.
The screening of ‘This Is It’ will take place at The Bijou Theatre, 275 Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport on Sunday, November 24 at 4:00 p.m. Doors open to the public at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance at www.thebijoutheatre.comor at the box office throughout the day of the event. All proceeds benefit The Bijou Theatre. For more information, visit www.thebijoutheatre.com or call The Bijou Theatre at 203-332-3228.
