Isn’t it a problem créditing actors that didn’t take part in the making of this film ? Particularly in regard of recent events ?
It might be. Possibly this kind of stuff is OK because you can argue that it’s more of a concept, basically research, more than than an actual work of fiction using their likeness. That’s just speculation though, I really don’t know, but it will be interesting to see what laws we end up with for stuff like this.
They finally making a movie about my death metal album cover. I’ve been waiting for this day.
This is exactly one of the reason actors in the SAG are on strike. I mean, if it was produced better…you know, if their faces wouldn’t morph while in the shot…little details like that…and that day is coming. If I were either Statham, Elba or Ms Johanssen, I’d already be on the phone to my agent, who’d then be on their phone to my attorneys.
Wouldn’t you? You see it as a little fan/research project, I (and they) see it as identity theft.
Regulation is needed, that’s for sure.
