Spike Lee: Bad 25 was good pressure
September 25th, 2012 | by News Desk
Spike Lee couldn’t let people down with his Michael Jackson documentary.
The filmmaker has been working on ‘Bad 25′ – which examines the making of the late King of Pop’s classic 1987 album – and was excited by the challenge of living up to the “pressure” of fans’ expectations.
He said: “It’s good pressure. You can’t let people down. If this had been sub-par I’d have been torn limb from limb.”
Spike has admired the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker – who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 – all his life and admits his passing left him “messed up” for some time.
Asked why he decided to make the film, he told The Sun newspaper: “I’m a filmmaker, I love what I do and I grew up admiring and loving Michael Jackson.
“I saw him in 1969 on TV. He had a big afro and I wanted to be him.
“Michael’s life deeply affected people and they miss him. His death messed me up for a month or two. He touched so many people.”
