A haven for talented artists run by tyrants. Most of those Paramount titles (Enemy At the Gates, Rules of Engagement) were done at/by BLT. A haven for talented artists run by tyrants.

Having the main actors appear on the poster is an awesome way of marketing. It’s overdone for a reason… and that reason is because it works!

You usually get this sort of thing for the video store covers while the 'normal' poster can be a lot better. The cinema poster for Enemy at the Gates was a lot better (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/enemy_at_the_gates_ver1.jpg). The Sum of all Fears one was also different although not much better (http://www.impawards.com/2002/sum_of_all_fears.html). I suppose they have to try and show off the leads in video stores to grab the attention of casual browsers although, in my own case, I'd be more intrigued by something less obvious.

Actors have clauses in their contract that dictate how large their head will be in relation to any other actor. Add to the fact that actors "sell" a film so they need to make sure everyone knows. Movie posters are marketing, not art. Blame the agents. Actors have clauses in their contract that dictate how large their head will be in relation to any other actor.
