"Michael Jackson's This Is It" is a celebration of the concerts that could have been. That's why when music supervisor Michael Bearden, along with director Kenny Ortega and choreographer Travis Payne, were putting the film together, they left out any scenes that address Jackson's untimely passing in June. Bearden revealed that while cameras were rolling when the tragic news was announced, you won't see that in the film.

"I'm glad we left some things out," Bearden, who also served as associate producer on the film, told MTV News after the premiere Tuesday night in Los Angeles. "Especially the announcement of his passing."

The crew involved in cutting together the film had very specific reasons why they didn't include that in the movie: They didn't feel it was the right place to address the issue. "That was filmed and we were gonna have it in, but we found we shouldn't have it."

Bearden went on to say when he knew that Jackson's three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, would most likely see the film, they made the executive decision to not include the footage of the announcement. "His children are going to watch this film and no one would want to relive that forever," he explained. "The world is already mourning, so we don't need to force it on them."

Instead, the film focuses on the positive aspects of that time in his life and how hard he was working to put on some amazing shows for his fans. "I think we have the great balance of his triumph and his comeback," Bearden continued. "And I'm very happy."
