It's common in Hollywood for a studio to ask for right in perpetuity for any digital asset. That is so that if they remaster a movie they have everything they need to make it without having to get lawyers and contracts involved.
The directors cut is technically a different movie than then regular one and is different from an 8k remaster in the future.
That's a very different issue to someone making an entirely new movie, with that scan as a "character" though.
Not different at all. Actors do mo-cap work all the time and the performance data is owned by the studio and can be reused on different movies without royalties. The studios are trying to extend that. I see both sides. If the actors don't take a stand it could be tragic.
