Yes, it is important to obtain permission from the copyright holder before creating a derivative work based on a popular movie. This process requires careful planning and should include: researching who the copyright holder is, contacting them directly, outlining the nature of your project and gaining explicit consent before beginning.

Yes, as long as you are not intending to profit from your derivative work. Under the Copyright Act, you are allowed to create a transformative work by modifying or expanding upon a pre-existing piece of work without permission from the copyright holder, provided that it is not for commercial purposes. This includes fan art and fanfiction. However, if your intention is to make money or profit in any way from your derivative work then you must obtain permissions from the original creator(s) first.
