Is Michael Jackson's CAPTAIN EO Set To Return?? Seems So...

Merrick here...
For a few weeks now we've been hearing indications that the George Lucas produced, Francis Ford Coppola directed, James Horner scored, Michael Jackson starring CAPTAIN EO (in 3-D) would be making a return to Disney kingdoms early next year - per suddenly renewed public interest in Mr. Jackson's work (i.e. to exploit his death). As of yet, there's been no official announcement towards such ends - although scuttlebutt says work is already underway prepping the theater(s?) in which EO will be hosted. When will we know for sure? According to Al Lutz's MiceAge site, we should see a definitive announcement tomorrow.

Editor's Note 9/11: Captain EO Update - Bob Iger kicked off the lavish D23 Expo with no major news and a rather coy answer on the Captain EO topic, as apparently Burbank is furious both the Star Tours and EO info leaked ahead of Jay Rasulo’s planned announcements on Saturday. Meanwhile, executives at WDI and TDA continue to prep for the January opening of EO, and gab about it rather openly. The technical tests for EO this week in the closed Honey I Shrunk Theater went well, and now it’s just up to Jay to either announce on Saturday or hold the news until after new year’s. - Al Lutz -

...says MiceAge HERE. I've never actually seen CAPTAIN EO on a big screen - many of our readers probably haven't. As such, I'm guessing this might be a unique opportunity for a number of folks out there. Although, imagining the musical number featured in the second embed below...on the big screen...in 3-D...does make me question my resolve a bit.
