Edit.
it depends on your release form.
it's a copyright issue really, if the muso agrees to be filmed and hands over the rights to the performance then if it's "sold" he has no rights.
Macca has to pay jackson to do Beatles songs as he was outbid when the rights came up.
Often, film projects are sold and resold before they are finished. I'd say that unless the muso prohibits the handover in the contract, you'd be ok.
Quite how that would help your reputation with other talent if word got around, is a matter for you to figure out

Quite right Dave - especially the last paragraph. Mind you, the release form should be drawn up by very competent solicitors. If it is a celeb, you can be sure of one thing - their ability to pay solicitors will be greater than yours.
