Re: Curious/Hollywood
I know the guy who filmed Tom Cruise for the Mission Impossible HALO jumps (cant recall which specific MI movie it was). This was all done "correctly" and Tom really did the jump itself. These kind of jumps take CONSIDERABLY more organising, training and specialised equipment compared to a boring old skydive at the local DZ.
I also know the guy who you may have seen on a Red Bull emblazoned wingsuit where they hop out of the plane, plane goes into a dive then he goes back in. This was not done in USA (unlike Tom's MI jumps), much like the other stunts you see where planes fly into cliffs etc. Therefore the FAA does not care and is subject to whatever the local jurisdiction is.
Last name drop I promise - there was a Chevy ad where they toss some car out the back of a Skyvan and these skydivers are flying around it, this was filmed in a remote part of Arizona. Most definitely FAA jurisdiction. I know this lot too but I'm unsure as to what approvals they required. One would assume they obtained them as the ad went on to US national TV.
