Michael Jackson can be seen performing the dance routine to 'Bad' in an exclusive clip from the forthcoming movie This Is It.

The clip, unveiled ahead of the film's release next week, shows the late singer discussing the routine with choreographer Kenny Ortega.

Later in the video, Jackson is shown performing 'They Don't Care About Us' in front of a dramatic backdrop of soldiers.

This Is It features of 100 hours of footage from the singer's rehearsals for his ill-fated comeback concerts in London.

Ortega revealed this week that he and Jackson had spent hours discussing ideas for the gigs, which were due to begin in July.

"I think Michael wanted the world on stage, and he wanted the wonders of the world represented on stage,” he told the BBC.

The movie is due to be released worldwide on October 28 for a limited two week period.
