I WALT DISNEY WORLD: Maaie Already enjoying the benefits from a reported $30 million in sales from his "Thriller" LP, Michael Jackson is now in the running for an Oscar with the theater release of the video version of "Thriller." Last week, Michael's friends gathered in Hollywood for a private showing and the response was overwhelming. Those rising in a spirited ovation included Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Donald Sutherland, Kristy McNichol, Eddie Murphy and the entire Jackson family. The soft-spoken singer stood and waved to his 300 guests. Before the video was shown, guests were treated to one of Jackson's passions a cartoon. Michael grinned and looked intently as the Mickey Mouse-Donald Duck feature "The Band Concert" was screened.

Jackson, 24, already is assured the spotlight in next spring's Grammy Awards ceremonies because of the unprecedented six Top-10 singles pulled from the "Thriller" album. The 14-minute John Landis-directed version of the "Thriller" LP opened Thanksgiving Day for a week-long run at a Los Angeles theater, thus qualifying it for Academy Award consideration in the short feature category. The video, said to have cost between $500,000 and $1 million, is scheduled to debut on MTV this afternoon at 3. CIRCUS WORLD 1-4 and U.S. 27, Orlando.

Thomas' novel 4 White Hotel' to be adapted to screen Carrollwood gets new theater Greg Tozian Film By MARILYN BECK Negotiations are under way for esteemed director Bernardo Bertolucci to helm the film version of "The White Hotel." The big-screen adaptation of the D.M. Thomas novel has been in the works for years, was picked up, then dropped, by two major studios and now is to be made independently by producer Keith Barish, and distributed by 20th Century-Fox.

At one time Barbra Streisand expressed inter- est in starring as the patient of Sigmund Freud's who hallucinates and dies but production of "Hotel" kept getting pushed back until it looked like it would be shooting simultaneously with Bar-bra's "Yentl." Now I'm told Streisand is expressing interest in "White Hotel" again. But she might as well forget it. Barish is planning a moderately priced picture with no room in its budget for superstar salaries. 1983 By Tribune Company Syndicate, Inc. rfn SEEK FINSf CHESS CHAMPIONS A I I I CGH I A 0 A I A A I I A The Tampa Theatre's great success at showing foreign and independent films over the last several years should indicate that there is a local market for different kinds of films.

Won't one theater chain's local representative try to donate one screen exclusively for different films? If the effort fails, at least you'll know your policies of showing only what the Hollywood studios hand you is correct. If you're a hit, you'll nojt only look great with the home office, you'll also provide your customers with a much needed service. End of sermon. 'Prince' of a fellow For fans of the whimsical, The Tampa Museum is showing director Stanley Donen's 1974 musical screen version of "The Little Prince." This is, of course, an adaptation of writer Antoine de St. Exupery's children's book about an aviator who crashes his airplane in the Sahara, only to meet a melancholy little blond "prince" from another planet.

Richard Kiley plays the flyer and young Steven Warner is the prince who longs to learn about life from the older eathling. This is a rather odd souped-up with many Lerner and Loewe big-production musical numbers that somehow seem to overpower the simple grace of the plot line. However, Bob Fosse has a marvelously slinky song-and-dance number as a snake, dressed in black top hat and black tux, with one of the fingers of his black-gloved hands 0 A A The Carrollwood area, which already has a second-run-movie cinema pub (Tampa Pitcher Show) and an eight-screen, first-run theater (The Movies at Mission Bell), gets its new, six-screen, first-run house Dec. 9. The Plitt Theaters chain will open its Mainstreet Six Theatre in the Mainstreet Shopping Center at 11778 N.

Dale Mabry Highway. The Mainstreet will be starting off with one of its planned Christmas movies, Clint Eastwood's latest Dirty Harry action picture, "Sudden Impact," playing on two screens. The other movies "scheduled for the Dec. 9 opening are "Mr. Mom," "WarGames," "Risky Busi-- ness" and "Das Boot." Dec.

16, Mainstreet opens the rest of its Christmas product. "Sudden Impact" will continue on its two screens. The double feature from Is, Disney "Mickey's Christmas Carol" and the reissue of "The Rescuers" will play in two of the other theaters. And Hackman's war drama, "Uncom-! "mon Valor," and the John Travolta-Olivia Newton-John movie, "Two of a Kind," will occupy a screen each. The number for the Mainstreet's show-times recording is 961-0654.

It remains to be seen if the north Tampa-Dale Mabry strip can support 15 movie screens (counting the cine-pub). We do wish them luck, variety being the spice of life and all. On a related note, it's interesting that one of the screens at the new Mainstreet cinema will be showing the subtitled, German film "Das Boot," which was had a relatively successful commercial run in the United States in the past couple of years. Plitt film programmer Bob Gunner, 1 in Jacksonville, said "Das Boot" was being shown to "feel out the art crowd" in the north Tampa area, to see if for-' eign, independent, or other "small films" might be playable at Mainstreet from I 0 A MTTL A MY I 0 I time to time. -We hope Plitt decides to start showing something more than just another new blockbuster on one of the screens "from time to time," or even more frequently.

With nearly 50 indoor movie screens in Tampa now, at least one commercial movie house owner should be bold enough to free up one of his screens exclusively to play non-standard Hollywood product Theaters affiliated with chains in some large cities operate that way. It means that any initial losses that the "art house" screen has in a six- or eight-plex theater are generally absorbed by the profits being made on the other screens the ones which are still showing the wide-release, Hollywood stuff. Some local theaters, particularly General Cinema's University Square and Tampa Bay mall cinemas, have played foreign, independent and non-wide-break films on occasion. "The Last Metro," "Kagemusha," "Breaker Morant," "The King of Comedy" and "Rear Window" are films that GCC theaters have brought to town when nobody else would. A pair of local American Multi-Cinema theaters the Varsity 6 and Horizon Park 4 have also played the "small" film "Tender Mercies" in recent weeks.

And the managers there have been surprised by how well that Robert Duvall film did in supposedly film-unsophisticated Tampa. 1 But more needs to be done.
