The two-and-a-half-minute clip shows showstopping dance routines and dazzling stage sets which would have been used for the cancelled run of 50 shows at London's O2 Arena.
Jackson died in June just days before the comeback concerts were due to begin.

 
Re-enactments of his zombie dance routine for Thriller, moonwalks and stage sets featuring rainforests and night-time cityscapes are among the highlights of the teaser for the film, which is released on October 28.
Jackson can also be seen corralling his dancers and giving them the right rhythms as they run through a dance.

Kenny Ortega, who was overseeing the shows, has directed the film, which will be released for just two weeks.
Last week Jermaine Jackson pulled the plug on a tribute show he was planning for his brother in Vienna, Austria, later this month. It will be replaced by a show in the UK next summer, although details have still to be finalised.
Meanwhile, Jackson's secret sister broke her silence telling of her heartache at being shunned by her famous family for 35 years.
Johvonnie Jackson , 35, whose mother was the lover of Jackson's father Joe, revealed the Jackson siblings treat her as an outcast and she didn't meet her superstar half-brother until she was 29.
She would attend Michael and singer sister Janet's concerts but was not allowed to meet them.
This Is It will be released for two weeks on October 28.
