it’s fair game for them to ask and to highlight their contributions IMO. Given their deal was with Artisan and they are now asking Lionsgate for retroactive participation may be tough legally. Will be interesting to see how Lionsgate reacts. Definitely going to follow this and see how it plays out. Thanks for sharing, Pat Alexander.

I agree with Sam. I think it's a fair ask considering the actors are essentially the writers and used their own names. I'm not sure they can get retroactive pay, but they definitely ought to be paid for any further use of their names and images. I don't know that they can force the studio to consult them for input on further projects. I respect the request for a grant rather than asking for future profit.
