No mention in the posters, no direct shots of his face in the trailers, no top billing in the opening titles of the film, silhouette and altered voice for the press interviews, etc. Like or dislike?I kind of like it, but you are right, it would never fly in Hollywood. I had a similar idea way back when: a movie in which you never got a real look at RJ's face - always sideshots or back shots or distance shots, or even first person perspective. It would stress the anonymity of the character. Of course, that would never happen either. Hollywood would deny themselves a potential star, and the actor would not gain the notoriety of the role.
