Changing Film Title - Legal Issues?

[_Rok_]

I'm starting to hire cast & crew and all my documents have a film title that I will eventually want to change. Does this change the validity of all the signed releases? The last thing I want is that to have an actor dislike their own performance and then claim that they never signed a release for this particular production?


Many thanks.

Maybe it's possible to keep the original name as the legal name and the newer (prefferred) name to be an alternative name.

Alternatively should a release form somehow state in it something like 'or alternative sub names' or some legal way of saying that haha.

Either way I'm interested to see this from a legal perspective

I refer to it as the Working Title or "tentatively titled as..."

Dunno if that's what an actual entertainment attorney would tell ya, though.

I suppose it would depend on how the release was written. Got a blank template to look over?
