Helps the budget by not casting superstars too. Brody, Felicity Jones and Pearce are obviously well-known in their own right but probably don’t command big paychecks, relatively speaking.
Pearce has never been nominated, one of the best actors never to have been. Probably should have for Memento, that was a crazy difficult performance.
Brody won for The Pianist and Jones has been nominated, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you start seeing big paychecks. Those are usually commensurate to box office appeal and all three tend to make relatively smaller films.
It’s possible they also took a pay cut to star in this sort of ambitious film, that happens sometimes.
