JSngry Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 So, we're getting to the future by putting shit in reverse and lapping the past, is that how this is gonna work? Makes about as much sense as anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 This has become somewhat of a big thing recently. Kurt Russell in the last Tron movie, Peter Cushing in the new Star Wars movie, Anthony Hopkins in Westworld... While it's dazzling and interesting, it makes me wonder...are there any kind of legal/IP problems down the road? I'm assuming Peter Cushing's family/trust gave Disney and Lucasfilms the thumbs up. But, that's just an assumption. What if a studio went forward without either asking, or receiving permission? Would they have rights to the actor's image and voice?

Brad Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 In some states, you would be required to obtain the permission of the estate but in others not. There is no uniform rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
