Michael Jackson Sued

Michael Jackson is being sued by the director of the famous Thriller music video.

In the latest of Jackos legal and financial problems John Landis says hes owed royalties from the extravagant short film.

Thriller is widely named as the best music video of all time and shows the singer changing into a zombie.

Landis- who directed Animal House, The Blues Brothers and Trading Places- says he hasnt received his 50% share of profits for the last four years.

He also says Michael does not own the rights to create toys or computer games based on the Thriller vid.

Jackson was sued late last year by an Arab Sheikh in a case that was eventually settled out of court.

Reports suggest the star is now heavily in debt.
