    War Of The Worlds’ Promo poster is unique with regards to the last few years, and quite unusual altogether. Why?

        Yes it is, but that’s not why the poster’s unusual Jerry.

      Is it that none of the cast is pictured on the poster?

        Getting warmer, but film posters quite often don’t show the cast…

      There is only one actor above the title?

      Ok, as the questions was a bit vague, maybe this will help a little (I didn’t want to make it too easy, knowing how good people are in this place!)

      The main crux of the question regards the star of the film

        The lead character for the prior version of this film was a rocket scientist and now it is a crane operator?

          True, but irrelevant to the question…

          Can’t believe it’s taken this long…

          Final clue (and this really answers it): check the promo poster of ANY film with Tom Cruise in it over the last few years…

            is it that they usually try to make him look taller by writing his name in taller letters, whereas these are kind of squat?

            The last film not to have Tommy’s picture on the poster was Magnolia, otherwise he’s always been pictured?

              That is only since they didn’t use this one.

              I couldn’t read much of that one anyway, so I’m glad they didn’t use it grin
