Of course, because if someone shows you a convincing video of your city being destroyed, they totally owe you lots of money.
OTOH, I don't think I would sign the release papers until I get compensated for my time.
I suppose the average pathetic weakling wouldn't mind being used and made fun of when thinking they're going to a job interview, especially if they were given some cash. But some of us have balls. I would sue them, not because they "owe" me money, but simply to stand up for myself and teach them a lesson.I'd accept it as a good joke, and consider myself foolish for having been fooled by an movie.

And the people were not "fooled by a movie". They were in a position where it would have been virtually impossible not to take what they were seeing seriously, especially after the Chelyabinsk meteor.

You imply that being okay with being the subject of a joke is pathetic and weak. But contraire, in fact you're inability to receive the joke with grace indicates not that you "have balls", but that you're a proud egotist that's "too good" for it.
If it was in fact a window, looking out it would have caused your eyes to focus out. But it was a screen (decently close too), meaning to look at it your eyes would focus in. Big giveaway.
I'll bet that there were people that _weren't_ fooled by it, but there's no reason for them to show that.
You don't sue someone because that someone played a harmless prank on you. That's an abuse of the suing system.
Consider how much the system costs, and how little you lost because of it and then compare the two.
Clearly, running the court costs lots and lots of money, and who will pay that in the end for one silly little joke? You are unreasonable.
