I cannot figure out who has more rights; the artist, the studio, the actors with faces on the poster (photo), Artististic actor representations, and do the names of the actors have any attached rights.

You can try using it and see if you get sued. Actually, chances are, the studio owns the rights to the artwork as well. But if you use the poster, you would need the permission of the copyright owner (and this part I'm not really sure about) as well as the people whose faces appear on the poster. Music and movies are considered "for hire," therefore the studio owns the rights to what you create. As far as public domain, copyrights have just been extended (thank you Walt Disney) to life of the creator plus 75 years. If the poster is realatively new, then chances are its still not in the public domain yet.

I think the names probly do have attached rights, and I think the actors face on the poster has most rights

in the experience that your genuine question is will the action picture be allotted by utilising a action picture studio, copyright isn't an argument. If the action picture has long gone to DVD, it quite is quite not likely to theaters. DVDs ARE a sort of distribution. in case you opt to nicely known no count if it quite is criminal to repeat the DVD, probable not.
