Billion-Dollar Plans: A New Frontier in Cinema
The screenplay is touted as a game-changer in cinematic history, not just for its star-studded intellectual battles but also for its ground-breaking use of technology. With the project’s estimated budget of a billion dollars, the legal stakes are incredibly high. Source
Celebrity Image Rights: The Legal Quagmire
Before any CGI or AI implementation can occur, the issue of ‘right of publicity’ for the celebrities involved must be ironed out. The legal jargon surrounding the use of a celebrity’s image, especially one that’s computer-generated, is mired in complexities that require expert interpretation. Source

What Must the Celebrities Agree To?
The legal documents must be intricate and exhaustive to cover a range of issues, including:
- Purpose and Scope: Celebrities must be clear on how their image is going to be used—whether in promotional materials, in the film itself, or in merchandising.
- Duration: How long their image can be used needs to be stipulated.
- Jurisdiction: The contract must state the territories where the image can be used.
- Revocation Rights: Terms under which the celebrities can withdraw their consent should be delineated.
- Financial Compensation: The agreement should specify any royalty or lump-sum payment.
- Moral Rights: It should be clear how the celebrities’ images will not be manipulated in ways that could be seen as defamatory or damaging to their reputation.
- Data Protection: Clauses regarding the use and protection of personal data must be included.
- Indemnity Clauses: Should legal issues arise, who is responsible?
- Dispute Resolution: The contract should spell out how disputes will be resolved, potentially through arbitration. Source
Precedents and Legal Consequences
The magnitude and complexity of “Zuckerberg vs Musk: Cage Fight” mean that this project could set new legal precedents. “We’re entering a new legal terrain. We have never dealt with the ‘right of publicity’ on this scale before, especially not with the use of AI and CGI,” says Professor Emily Jackson, a legal analyst. Source
