Why doesn't Josh Hartnett get top billing in this?

IMDb doesn't even list him in the cast. And those three actresses are relative unknowns.

Cast: Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall, Laura Harris

THAT IS KIND OF WEIRD...I DON'T THINK JORDANA DID ANYTHING BEFORE THE FACULTY...I DIDN'T BECOME AWARE OF THE OTHER TWO UNTIL THE FACULTY....BUT...THE FACULTY AND HALLOWEEN H20 WERE HARTNETT'S FIRST ROLES REALLY...SO...GOOD JOB THE FACULTY CASTING DEPARTMENT...THEY HAD AN EYE FOR NEW TALENT.

Alphabetical order.

Okay. But that's not how it's usually done.

A LOOOOOT of movies do alphabetically where have you been?

Also, even if they hadn't gone alphabetically, I think top billing would've gone to Elijah Wood. Hartnett wouldn't have gotten it on his second film.

Laura Harris was a Nickelodeon star. She was one of stars of the show Fifteen. A show most known now for being Ryan Reynolds first acting gig. It wasn’t hugely popular, but it was known among teens that grew up in that era.

Still, Josh Hartnett is a big name which would attract fans across the board.
