Well, I guess I should be happy for her and the paycheck must have been nice too, but I hate when they do that.
8 names above the title, yet she's the only one without the credit. Would it kill them to add another name or at least not feature her on the poster at all?
I understand that she's not a movie star, but still this is humiliating.

Reminds me of The Company Men poster aka the odd woman out.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 2:50pmShe looks to only be on the poster to balance Williams. If she wasn't on it....who would know she was in it?

Posted: 7/31/12 at 2:50pmVery excited for Ben Barnes, though. He's dreamy.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:01pmI'm fairly certain that these are contract negotiated details. (I know I could be wrong.) Maybe she could care less about these things.

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt9iqJA6RZM&feature=context-gfa
Looks simply awful, maybe it's for the best that her name is not on the poster.

Ben is front and center on the poster. The featured wedding is his. However, his name is not mentioned in the trailer.
Ah, Hollywood.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:05pmBilling is always contractual. I agree, it's notable that she made the poster.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:07pmI would also like to add that she was hysterical in the first episodes of Sullivan and Son. The show may not find an audience, but she was definitely a stand out.

A friend of mine played the priest Ebersole's character wanted to seduce on Sullivan & Son. The only reason I watched the show was to see him on TV.
I love that she's funny and talented, but I hate that she a big bag of yogurt-covered crazy.

She didn't make the poster for Ghost Dad, either.

Well that was just pure racism on Cosby's part.
And yeah she's a big bag of crazy that makes even Goth look normal.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:19pmWith a cast packed with constant dud-pickers, maybe not having her name on the poster isn't such a bad thing. This looks like a stinker.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:20pmYou could do a lot worse than starring in a movie with Academy Award Winners Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton and Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:23pmAgreed! Just saying their film choices as of late haven't exactly been impressive.
#18Poor Christine Ebersole
Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:26pmI think she is very funny on Sullivan and Son- I think people have forgotten what an acutal sitcom is supposed to look and sound like!

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:28pmYeah, but the shot looks like she knows she the odd woman out next to the four oscar winning movie stars. Hopefully she gets some scene stealing moments. Maybe she wasn't intended to be a part of the marketing but she was strong in the film so they added her.
#21Poor Christine Ebersole
Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:35pmThe shot looks like Ebersole and Williams were photoshopped in. And Ebersole only for symmetry.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:36pmThey didn't even show her speak in the trailer or credit her, heh. But that movie looks terrible so maybe it's better not to be associated with it?
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
#23Poor Christine Ebersole
Posted: 7/31/12 at 3:36pmThey should make her stand just a liiiiiiiiiilte bit farther back and maybe put a window there that she's peering in through.

I agree that she should have either been credited or left off the poster.
Also, Keaton looks like she just stepped out of her L'Oreal adds. Same outfit, same hair, same expression.
