Contract for Hollywood Actors Includes $40m Yearly in Streaming Bonuses

“Studios must obtain an actor’s consent before using their image to create a digital replica, and provide a specific description, he said. The actor would receive payment equivalent to the type of work the digital replica performs on-screen.The contract also protects background performers from the use of their digital replicas without consent, Crabtree-Ireland said.

Under the contract, companies must obtain the consent of performers whose facial features are used to create a synthetic performer, even if it is more than one performer.”
