I'm sure there's a range here, but generally when you see something like Seven Bucks for The Rock or Plan B for Brad Pitt, what can you expect the behind the scenes work to be to get this production credit? In The Rock's case it almost seems like it's just a requirement for him appearing in the movie. Does he actually get involved in getting the movie made beyond slapping his name on it? Meanwhile I've seen a lot of Plan B movies that don't have Brad Pitt in them, so I'm guessing they're actually involved in getting the movie produced.
So what's the typical involvement like? What differentiates a movie Starring Dwayne Johnson from a movie Starring Dwayne Johnson & Produced by Seven Bucks? And why/how are these different than just "Executive Producer Nicole Kidman" or something?
