I've never heard of that, but then I've not been active in that part of the business, either. Any such rules would be musicians union rules, since Hollywood productions are governed by the overlapping and sometimes conflicting work rules of all the many different unions involved. (Which is also why more and more "Hollywood" movies are being shot in places like Canada and New Zealand and Eastern Europe, where they can get away from the strict (and expensive!) union rules.) Stephen Spielberg is shooting at least part of "War of the Worlds" just a few miles from here in Virginia, which just happens to be a right-to-work state with weak unions.

Hollywood productions don't come to Canada to escape the union rules. We have unions here too. They shoot here because of tax credits and what used to be a favorable exchange rate. And by the way, post-production (such as music scoring) almost never comes with deal. That is usually done back where the producers or director are based.
