I always wonder how actors are insured while filming a big production. And what logistics or prep is in place for the case of their death. Well, in the future there will be a contractual clause and a 3D scanning session at production start…
I expect it wouldn't just cover death but also other 'contractual disputes'. Kevin Spacey ended up having to pay the House of Cards producers for his removal.
I read somewhere that Tom Cruze can’t get insurance for many of the stunts he does himself and so he self insured the productions. Now that could easily just be a rumour, the precision, planning and expertise that goes into he stunts is of the highest possible.
I'd do it if I was an actor. It would help keep me viable for roles for younger men.
