The filmmaker, who worked directed the King of Pop’s video for “They Don’t Care about Us” and considered him a friend, poured through footage of the singer for the documentary “Bad 25,” which celebrates the album’s 25th anniversary this year. Spike says even he learned some new things about Jackson from the “treasure chest of findings.”

“We have footage in this documentary that no one’s ever seen, stuff that Michael shot himself, behind-the-scenes stuff,” he said in an interview Monday with the Detroit Free Press. “We had complete access to the vaults of Michael Jackson. … He wrote 60 demos for the ‘Bad’ record. Only 11 made it. So we got to hear a lot of that stuff, too, so it was just a great experience.”
