“The scene with Michael and Ola, where they go along in synch, we rehearsed that very briefly and very loosely. We did it like 4 or 5 times, just to establish the beats so that as long as Ola kept the beat, we could always come back to it [laughs]. Michael was left pretty much alone. What I wanted to exploit there was the ‘excitement of Michael Jackson’, I mean nobody moves like Michael Jackson! And It’s that energy and excitement of him relating to another person, it’s, I wanted to get that electricity.” - John Landis (Director of ‘Thriller’)
