Actors are paid when they sign on to make the movie- negotiated by their agents and/or managers. All actors are union, either in SAG or AFTRA- union rules would never allow an actor to get paid only when the movie is released. They get paid whether or not the film is released. Some actors get a "play or pay" deal, they get paid even if the film is never even made.
Jolene stated in one interview that she doesn't need to work, considering she's married to the CEO of Live Nation- the biggest concert promoter in the world- I don't doubt her a bit. Good thing, I would hate to see someone with Jolene's potential doing a direct to DVD schlock fest just to pay the bills.
