The director of Michael Jackson’s iconic Thriller video is suing the singer for £700,000.

John Landis claims the 50-year-old has failed to pay him royalties for the 14-minute pop promo for the past four years.

The lawsuit comes as news broke that Thriller is to be made into a Broadway musical.

John, who directed movies including An American Werewolf in London and The Blues Brothers, filed the papers at Los Angeles Superior Court.
