The reshoots were done in a very compressed timeline with the movie’s release date set for less than two months away.
The director notes to USA Today that of course Christopher Plummer and the crew were paid for their work on the reshoots.
This is pretty remarkable and is no doubt a huge help considering the 22 scenes that needed to be reshot cost over $10 million.
