The use of stills can be tricky. I have been told that if you ask a

studio for permission, it is VERY EXSPENSIVE. The question is, do you need

their permission ? Most people avoid the problem by useing publicity stills

which the studio/ distrubutor put out themselves and should not require

clearence. If you want a specific image, it may well fall under fair use. I

have never heard of anyone being sued over this,but I am told many

publishers are leery . However I would avoid talking to any studio legal

dept. at all costs.

 

Good Luck
