Misplaced-Names Poster | comment |
You're looking at a movie poster. There's the lineup of the cast, or their floating heads, or their mirrored profiles. You look up at the names of the actors, and much to the annoyance of your inner neat freak, the names listed don't match up with the actors. Why does this happen? Well, there could be a number of reasons. Maybe the text was laid out at a different time than the graphic. Maybe the actor's contracts stipulate whose name goes in which order (and the actor whose name comes first also has to be prominently in the middle of the poster). Maybe it was meant as some sort of joke. It could be that as is the convention for Hollywood posters, the highest paid or top-billed actor is displayed on the poster as the central figure in the image, and all lower-billed actors placed outward; whereas the names of the same actors are arranged in order of prominence from left to right. There's also a rarer opening titles version, involving the credits not being aligned with the clips being shown, resulting in one actor's name appearing on top of footage of a completely different actor—often to the audience's confusion, if the cast members in question are not familiar names. See also Diagonal Billing, which can be a cause of this trope if it's employed on the poster as well as in the credits. |

The season 1 titles to Bones had a similar problem to thirtysomething. While the names for David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel were matched (somewhat) correctly with their actors, the same couldn't be said for the others. For example, TJ Thyne's name was superimposed over Deschanel's face while Jonathan Adams' name was over both Boreanaz's face and the back of Deschanel's head. Season 2 corrected this going forward. | |

Some Like It Hot has a few home video covers that give Marilyn Monroe top billing, and place her in the front and center. However, since Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are also Billed Above the Title, these covers end up having Marilyn pose underneath Tony Curtis' name, with him underneath hers. (Jack Lemmon ended up in the proper spot, though.) | |

A slight variation occurred in one poster promoting Tropic Thunder: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. all had their names prominently listed on the top of the poster, but only Ben Stiller and Robert Downey, Jr were in the actual image. This actually lead to some controversy: The film was already becoming a bit controversial for Downey, Jr. spending most of his screen-time in black face; The placement of the names and the fact that the actors were listed by surname also made it look as though he was being billed as "Black Downey Jr". | |

In Left 4 Dead 2, loading screens for joining a server show a movie poster with the four player characters standing side-to-side, with a list of each player below the poster, their names listed in the same order as their characters. However, some creators of custom campaigns forget to set the order correctly for their campaign's poster, leading to, for example, Nick being on the right-hand side of the poster while the person playing him is listed first (by default from left to right it goes Nick, Rochelle, Coach, Ellis). The first Left 4 Dead averted this by having the names listed right above their characters' heads (and requiring X and Y coordinates for those names), but also made it much more apparent (not to mention funny) when a campaign's creator got lazy about it. | |

Undercover Brother. Eddie Griffin had a sex change, Chris Kattan woke up as a black man with a huge Afro, and Denise Richards applied some Blackface. | |

Men in Black 3's French poster put's Will Smith's name over Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones' name over Will Smith, and Josh Brolin's name over Tommy Lee Jones. While Brolin does play the younger version of Jones's character Agent K, it's still this trope. | |

If you look across the posters for Morning Glory you can observe that they are more likely to get Harrison Ford's name misplaced. For example, this poster◊ puts him under Rachel McAdams' name and vice versa. | |

The original titles for thirtysomething suffer from the opening credits version of this trope. The credits are in alphabetical order, but the visuals are completely doing their own thing, ignoring the credits—resulting in, for example, Timothy Busfield's name appearing over footage of Melanie Mayron vamping (and Mayron's credit appears over one of the babies). | |

Zig-zagged with Stay Tuned. While the film's original theatrical poster◊ had John Ritter and Pam Dawber's names not match up with their corresponding actors, all home video releases, such as this 2019 Blu-Ray release◊, have the cover art literally reversed, completely averting the trope. | |

Bandidas: Most of the posters feature the two main stars being Back-to-Back Badasses, but often mix up their names. The one featured at the top of the work page is an exception. | |

Bill & Ted Face the Music has a good excuse. Since the first two films came out, Keanu Reeves has become a major star, while Alex Winter quit acting to work behind the camera. Consequently, Keanu receives top billing, with his name on the left of the poster. However, the franchise has a longstanding tradition of placing Bill, played by Winter, on the left of the screen, while Ted, played by Reeves, is on the right. Consequently, the actors appear on the opposite side as their names. | |

Tomorrow Is Forever is a great example, with the faces of Orson Welles, George Brent, and Claudette Colbert dominating the poster, while underneath are billed Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles, and George Brent. The likely reaction is, "Hm... Claudette is looking a bit puffy there.◊" | |
