What's to know? If the actors want "too much", it is up to Fox to decide what to do. They can: 1.) Simply not proceed because it won't return a profit, 2.) Try to negotiate with the actors so it could be more affordable, 3.) Proceed as planned on the gamble that the show will be a success and make money through advertising, merchandising or other means. Instead, the studio seems to be opting for 4.) Recast the show on the hopes that the fans won't mind (really???) or scare the actors into making a deal (making them dicks).
The point is, Fox is the one that made the decision to put out the casting call, not the actors. Sure, the actors might be trying to take Fox for a ride but Fox's choice is either baffling or dickish when they had other options.
