beat it Turns out it’s not yet the ambitious project Jackson has in mind excitement-owls. A year after the release of the record, work began on the video clip for the seventh single, the title track excitement. The singer is working with director John Landis on a short horror film in which he will star with actress Ola Ray.
In the fourteen-minute video, Jackson plays both a werewolf and a zombie. Plus, he does choreography that audiences still recognize in an instant. The video was a huge success, garnering several important awards and also boosting album sales. In the week after the video’s release, more than a year after the album’s release, the record was sold one million times more.
