Why don't the names always match the faces on DVD covers?

Example: No Country for Old Men (UPC: 786936746754)

Under James Brolin's face is say Tommy Lee Jones, and vice-versa.  I don't get it.  It makes no sense to me.  Any theories?

I inserted a link to a picture of the cover in my original Post, but I don't see it.  Sorry.  Guess I don't know what the hell I'm doing...

It's all about the contract. Names have to be a certain order (obviously), but the floating heads often times are stipulated (size of the head, placement, etc). So a Brad Pitt movie, while his name will often be first, his face will be front and center while supporting cast, if they're on there at all, will be off to the sides and smaller.

Because you inserted the link to a website, not the link to an image:

http://aswedetalksmovies.com/2012/04/27/rewatch-review-no-country-for-old-men-2007/

You meant to link http://aswedetalksmovies.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/no-country-for-old-men.jpg



You need to right-click on the image and select "copy image location" (or something similar in your browser)

Thanks for the reply and 'lesson' (now I'll know how to get links to pictures in a Post) , Movieman and Karsten.

P.S.  Movieman, "Judgmental since 2007" with a picture of Dredd.  I love it!

Even funnier, I own at least two films that bill actresses on the cover that aren't even in the film.
