Extras have always gotten basically nothing, though? Quite often extras are "allowed to stand around" for filming of a scene that doesn't have a star in it for the chance of being on the big screen.
Or is that no longer the case?
It's not just extras. Jet Li turned down The Matrix Reloaded because they were requiring that he also sell the rights to the martial arts moves used.
I didn't mean my point to be a complete dismissal of the concern. Only pointing out that extras have always been sorta ignored.
What? How does that work? Did Jet Li actually invent some techniques? Can you copyright martial art to begin with? Does Hollywood sue some kid if they do a flying drop kick on the playground?
