One of cinemas all time classic movies is Ridley Scott’s Oscar winning deep space horror “Alien”. The worldwide marketing campaign is instantly recognisable by the (now) iconic alien ‘egg’ imagery designed by the creative agency Bemis Balkind, and it was accompanied by a wealth of other memorabilia to market the movie. This included fully licensed Studio items, and the two lobby cards available here are first class examples of that high quality officially endorsed material. These are from a special commercial set of two colour prints that was “Published by Turn-Point Publishing Corp.” at the time of the film’s release in 1979 and sold primarily through the sci-fi comic book store ‘Forbidden Planet’. The images chosen couldn’t be more striking- a close up of the iconic chestburster scene as the Alien first appears bursting out of Kane’s (John Hurt) body and as the film reaches its climax the fully formed Alien is about to attack Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). Neither of these images (it would have been a bit of a spoiler) appear in any other lobby card images for the movie. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) these two cards present and display to very good effect, with only minimal handling wear. Hugely collectable and a fantastic piece of cinematic movie memorabilia from a truly influential movie that changed the face of modern sci-fi horror forever.
Trivia: Director Sir Ridley Scott and writers Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett wanted H.R. Giger to design the alien creatures based on drawings from his book ‘Necronomicon’, but they had some difficulties in convincing the studio. Executives were initially appalled by Giger’s dark and disturbing imagery, but Scott’s insistence finally won them over. Even so, Giger’s designs had to be changed several times because of their blatant sexuality.

One of cinemas all time classic movies is Ridley Scott’s Oscar winning deep space horror “Alien”. The worldwide marketing campaign is instantly recognisable by the (now) iconic alien ‘egg’ imagery designed by the creative agency Bemis Balkind, and it is also one of the most licensed titles to commission for the alternative movie poster market with some incredible re-imagined imagery on offer, with this offering from Chris Koehler one of the best in my opinion – it just evokes the whole feel of the movie and features a key scene from the Film’s climax. Set in the shadows, the Alien is perfectly camouflaged by the workmanlike design of the ship’s interior, with colours that perfectly suit the subject matter. Issued as part of Hero Complex Gallery’s Ridley Scott show in 2021 the full art style (no title or credits) has been hand-numbered #12 from a print run of only 30. Originally rolled (as issued) this presents and displays to excellent effect. Hugely collectable and a fantastic piece of cinematic movie memorabilia from a truly influential movie that changed the face of modern sci-fi horror forever.

An absolutely beautiful fine art print by Paul Mann for Roger Moore’s debut as Ian Fleming’s super-spy James Bond 007 in Guy Hamilton’s “Live And Let Die”. Mann has been commissioned to create alternative movie posters for all the early Bond movies and after finishing with the Connery titles has now moved on to Moore’s tenure, resulting in this sold out private commission offering. It is a movie poster in every sense of the word, with Mann recreating an incredible Bond posters. His detailed and stylish illustrations perfectly capture the voodoo theme of the movie, with the Tarot card display just amazing. Add to that the famous boat chase / jump sequence, the alligator farm, the enigmatic Solitaire (Jane Seymour), the villainous Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder) and you have a ‘perfect’ 007 poster. The use of the familiar title lettering and incorporating the “007” reference is worked into Roger Moore’s name and a dagger is also cleverly inserted into the “I” of the title script “DIE” adds a nice touch to Mann’s reworked artwork. Incredibly scarce, this one-sheet style (portrait) hand-numbered (#81/145) piece is offered as originally supplied, flat and unfolded (as issued). Printed on Fabriano Tiepolo Specialist Paper using 10 coloured inks it presents and displays to excellent effect with vibrant colours. A stunning item that represents a fine example of extremely collectable James Bond memorabilia.
Trivia: The producers offered Clint Eastwood the role of James Bond, fresh from his success with Dirty Harry (1971). He was flattered, but declined, saying that Bond should be played by an English actor. Notably, Bond uses a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum in this film, the gun made hugely popular by the Dirty Harry film franchise.
