Ok, I KNOW Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana (how the hell did he get on this list, anyway?) are the real draw in Troy, but how much of a freaking unknown/nonentity of an actress must you be to play Helen of Troy (you know, "the face that launched a thousand ships") and not even get a MENTION on any of the billboards?
Of course, I just looked at her "resume" on the Troy site and see that she's a former photo model from Paris who had her first role sometime last year. She's gotten a Ceasar nomination for one of the films she's done and she's got a few more coming this year. So maybe it's just that the marketing guys figure no one in the US would know or care who she is till they've seen the film. But still… not even a mention on the billboards. That's gotta hurt!
