Michael Jackson Considers 50 ft Robot Replica to Tower Over Desert, Shoot Lasers
That headline probably sounds like a joke. Maybe it is. After all, it was in the “Gossip” section of The New York Daily News…
Michael Jackson has been reviewing plans for a 50-foot robotic replica of himself should he launch a show there.
“It would be in the desert sands,” said Mike Luckman of Luckman Van Pier, consultants to large entertainment companies. “Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying would see. Neon is wonderful, but it’s old school.” Luckman’s partner, Andre Van Pier, who designed the futuristic spacesuits worn recently by Bono and U2 at a benefit concert in New Orleans, designed the robot. He has also sketched out a stage set of a giant audience-interactive video game with human cyborgs controlled by the audience. Said Luckman: “Michael’s looked at the sketches and likes them.”
“Gossip” section notwithstanding, consider that we are talking about Vegas here.
