Freedman: The film’s rehearsals on DVD

Roger Freedman wrote on his blog that it is likely that after the film’s two-week run—or maybe even three weeks—in cinemas around the world, the film will be released on DVD with added or surprising segments. Freedman, who has added the “premium” suffix to this DVD and calls it “Super DVD,” expects the product to become the number one seller. He also guesses that this DVD will hit the market after Thanksgiving.

Freedman also praised the commercial clout of Michael’s lawyers on his blog. John Branca and John McClain have added $100 million to Michael’s assets since Michael’s death, of which $5.5 million is the compensation they received from Dr. Toum.

Toum previously, before Frank Dileo returned, was Michael’s business manager. Freedman blames Dr. Toum for an auction of Michael’s assets that was supposed to be held several months earlier. Michael had decided to sell items on the Neverland property—such as furniture, household items, and marble and bronze statues. At Michael’s request, Dr. Toum signed a contract on Michael’s behalf with Julien’s Auctions to auction the Neverland property items. But after the publication of catalog books for these items, Michael filed a lawsuit to stop the auction of his belongings.

Apparently, due to Dr. Toum’s carelessness, even Michael’s personal items—which he called “not worth valuing”—were sent to warehouses for auction. Before the court date, Julien’s Auctions reached an agreement with Michael, and all of Michael’s items were returned to Neverland. After that, Michael went to London to announce the news of his concerts to the world. That was when Toum was replaced by Frank Dileo, and Michael’s team left.

Freedman wrote about Katherine Jackson’s objection to contracts between Michael’s lawyers and AEG, saying:

“Mrs. Jackson says she wants to enter into these contracts with the advisors and lawyers appointed by her. This team consists of her son Randy, her daughter Latoya, and Leonard Rowe, a concert promoter who has been jailed twice for financial issues.”

Earlier on this same page, you read a piece about Leonard Rowe with this gist:

“After Michael’s death, a letter was published that had been written by him to Leonard Rowe. In the letter, Michael stated that Leonard Rowe was not his representative and that he did not want any verbal or written communication with him regarding business or personal matters. However, Leonard Rowe could contact his business manager, Frank Dileo, and Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG. After Michael signed a contract with AEG to perform 50 concerts, his father—without Michael’s knowledge—sent an email to internet media and announced that Leonard Rowe was Michael’s manager. This news was circulated by several internet news agencies, but Michael did not feel the need to officially deny the claim, and even after Michael’s death it was not clear who his manager was. Roger Freedman, some time after an email was sent by Michael’s father and Leonard Rowe to the media, declared it to be without credibility.”
