  • Ghostbusters Alternative Movie Poster

    Ghostbusters

    £225.00

    “Gozer the Gozerian, good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county, and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.”

    One of the best must hummable theme tunes and a truly apocalyptic finale, it is no surprising that “Ghostbusters” was the biggest film of 1984. A supernatural summer blockbuster with humour, thrills, spills and some of the best special effects money could buy at the time. Ivan Reitman’s masterpiece is a much loved genuine classic that has been complemented by a series of alternative movie posters and in 2019 Mondo commissioned leading artist – Robert Sammelin to create his version. Sammelin has produced an outstanding addition to the title, truly eye-catching and super stylish as Gozer the Gozerian and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man take centre stage in the streams of the Ghostbusters’ proton packs. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect being hand-numbered #311/325. An extremely scarce example and an impressive item of collectable film movie memorabilia from one the best movies to come out of the 1980’s.

    Trivia: Almost none of the scenes were filmed as scripted; most had at least one ad-lib. Most of Bill Murray‘s lines are ad-libs.

    One of the best must hummable theme tunes and a truly apocalyptic finale, it is no surprising that “Ghostbusters” was the biggest film of 1984. A supernatural summer blockbuster with humour, thrills, spills and some of the best special effects money could buy at the time. Ivan Reitman’s masterpiece is a much loved genuine classic. Sometimes lobby card sets are slightly disappointing as they don’t really represent that many interesting scenes or characters from the movie, but that is the complete opposite here – this complete set of ALL eight US lobby cards is magnificent, featuring the Ghostbusters on six of the cards, a super-sexy, albeit possessed Sigourney Weaver and the iconic ECTO-1 ghost mobile. Originally flat and olded (as issued) these superb unrestored examples display to excellent effect with minimal age and handling wear and represent an impressive item of collectable film movie memorabilia from one the best movies to come out of the 1980’s.

  • Goodfellas Alternative Movie Poster

    Goodfellas

    £275.00

    “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” — Henry Hill, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1955.”

    Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” is an iconic motion picture and a giant of the gangster genre that will stand the test of time for years and years to come. The movie poster imagery that accompanied the 1990 release featured the three main stars – De Niro, Pesci & Liotta. And it’s those actors who take centre stage on this 2022 alternative movie poster by Nick Runge. In addition to the main characters, Runge has incorporated several key scenes and supporting characters into the artwork including one of the most memorable scenes from the movie as they get set to bury Billy Batts in the forest. A truly eye-catching design this originally rolled (as issued) example displays & presents to excellent effect with beautiful colour tones with a red that pops from the paper. Being giclee the finish appears painted and it is absolutely stunning in hand, with the photo not doing it justice. Hugely desirable and a must have title for the serious poster collector or Goodfellas fan it represents a premium piece of quality collectable movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The “How am I funny?” scene is based on something that actually happened to Joe Pesci. While working in a restaurant, a young Pesci apparently told a mobster that he was funny, a compliment that was met with a less-than-enthusiastic response. Pesci relayed the anecdote to Martin Scorsese, who decided to include it in the film. Scorsese didn’t include the scene in the shooting script, so that Pesci and Ray Liotta‘s interactions would elicit genuinely surprised reactions from the supporting cast.

    What is Giclee ?

    Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

    The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.

    Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

  • Goodfellas Alternative Movie Poster

    Goodfellas

    £295.00

    “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” — Henry Hill, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1955.”

    Martin Scorsese’s landmark gangster film “Goodfellas” receives a bold alternative interpretation in this richly illustrated poster by acclaimed artist Paul Mann. Against an intense red background, Mann arranges Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Paul Sorvino in a series of towering character portraits, capturing the power, ambition and menace at the heart of “Goodfellas”.

    Smaller narrative details—including Karen Hill (Lorraine Bracco), weapons, money, period cars and moments of brutal violence—are layered beneath the principal cast. The vertical composition and restrained black, white, orange and red palette evoke the dramatic illustrated campaigns of classic crime cinema while remaining unmistakably Mann’s own.

    This exceptionally scarce artist-proof example is personally signed by Paul Mann and hand-numbered AP #4/20, from the small group reserved outside the main numbered edition. Offered in excellent condition, it has tremendous visual impact and makes a superb display piece for collectors of “Goodfellas”, Martin Scorsese, Paul Mann and contemporary alternative movie-poster art.

  • The Graduate Alternative Movie Poster

    Graduate, The

    £695.00

    “This is Benjamin. He’s a little worried about his future.”

    Nautilus Art Prints released this Laurent Durieux variant as a limited run of 200 in 2017. In this poster, Durieux creates a bright and colourful retro summer aesthetic as he illustrates the memorable scuba-suit pool scene from Mark Nichols’ 1967 comedy-drama-romance “The Graduate”. This scene was very symbolic in displaying Ben’s (Dustin Hoffman) lack of control over his future whilst he was still trapped under hs parents control. The 12-colour screen print is signed by Durieux and hand-numbered #36/200. Having a very limited release these alternative movie posters are incredibly rare. Unrestored, this rolled (as issued) poster presents and displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia featuring one of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedy’s…classic and very COOL!

    Trivia: In the famous promotional still and original poster for this film, Dustin Hoffman is seen in the background framed by Mrs. Robinson’s shapely leg. The leg in that photo didn’t belong to Anne Bancroft, however; it belonged to a then-unknown model, Linda Gray, who later played Mrs. Robinson in a London stage musical of The Graduate & Sue Ellen Ewing in the TV show Dallas.

  • The Green Hornet Movie Poster

    Green Hornet, The

    £495.00

    “This was meant to be an action-adventure series about the grand-nephew of Texas Ranger John Reid (better known as The Lone Ranger) and a stacked luxury car named “Black Beauty”, but ended up being a vehicle for the great Bruce Lee and his amazing exhibitions of the martial arts.”

    With the Adam West “Batman” TV show a runaway success in the 1960s, it was bound to spawn imitators, and “The Green Hornet”, did not disappoint, based on an old radio show and movie. Hollywood pretty boy Van Williams, who strongly resembled ’60s heartthrob Fabian, played the masked supersleuth who chases down baddies in a souped-up Chrysler and with his sidekick, Kato, played by a very young Bruce Lee. The show is best remembered for Kato’s fight scenes, which is understandable for anyone who remembers Bruce Lee. After Lee’s tragic death in 1973, 20th Century Fox edited together four of the best TV episodes for a big screen, cinema release. It was meant to be a homage for one of the fasting rising stars in Hollywood, but in reality it was a cash in and that is clearly evident in the marketing campaign poster – Yes it features Green Hornet, ‘Black Beauty’ the customised Chrysler Imperial Crown sedan, but this is Lee’s movie. His name and over-sized image dwarf anything else. Bright red capitals at the top of the poster announce ‘BRUCE LEE’ and Kato in his blue jump-suited outfit really stand out in what is a pretty decent poster; very psychedelic 1960s. Offered here is an original, 1974 country of origin, US one-sheet that presents to stunning effect that benefits from being conservation linen backed. An impressive item that represents an extremely scarce and collectable example of original cinematic movie memorabilia & a fitting tribute to the martial arts legend BRUCE LEE.

    Trivia: Upon the suggestion of his 10 year old son Marco, producer Laurence Joachim licensed the rights to turn The Green Hornet (1966) into two feature length movies, making this first one the fifth biggest grossing Bruce Lee film ever. Larry and Marco took the best from the 1966 TV show, and edited them together with added fight scenes.

    Guardians of the Galaxy

    £195.00

    “All Heroes Start Somewhere !”

    Hall H, Comicon 2012 and Marvel Studios is again breaking box-office records, this time with the super hero blockbuster “The Avengers”. Riding the wave of success sequels to the hugely successful Captain America & Thor movies are announced as the assembled audience goes wild with anticipation…then an audible gasp, as the third film for 2014 is revealed, what ? “Guardians of the Galaxy” ? … A bizarre assembly of misfits and losers which includes a gun-wielding genetically altered raccoon and a fighting tree creature whose could only speak a single phrase…“I am Groot”. Marvel was taking a chance, but needn’t have worried…Guardians was critical and commercial juggernaut which redefined the super hero genre and direction Marvel was to take. Because of the ‘risk’ factor the advertising budget was not as extravagant as the studios previous offerings, making paper from the film genuinely a lot a scarcer than Iron Man, Thor, Avengers etc. Hence the rarity for any of the film posters produced to accompany the release. Based on photographs by Michael Mueller, design agency BLT Communications certainly pushed the right buttons and created a stunning all-action, epic poster for this 2014 one-sheet. An amazing spectrum of purple and blue colours and frantic energy, it is a great looking image. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect with minimal of handling wear, absolutely stunning. Guaranteed original this represents a scarce item of modern original collectable movie memorabilia from a truly exciting and cool film.

    Trivia: According to James Gunn, the film’s soundtrack is composed mainly of 1970s and 1980s songs, as they are part of Quill’s memories of Earth: “The music is one of those touchstones we have to remind us that Quill is a real person from planet Earth who’s just like you and me, except that he’s in this big outer space adventure.”

    Guardians of the Galaxy

    £225.00

    “You only get one chance to save the galaxy twice.”

    “Guardians of the Galaxy”… A bizarre assembly of misfits and losers which includes a gun-wielding genetically altered raccoon and a fighting tree creature whose could only speak a single phrase…“I am Groot”. Marvel was taking a chance, but needn’t have worried…Guardians was critical and commercial juggernaut which redefined the super hero genre and direction Marvel was to take. Being one of the most popular subjects for alternative movie posters, artist Ise Ananphada has created an incredible looking poster. Her hand-numbered #248/275 giclee screen print is a stunning piece that has captured the actors’ likenesses with real accuracy and being a giclee print the colours have an amazing, vibrant finish. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect, absolutely beautiful and a desirable item of modern collectable movie memorabilia from a truly exciting and cool film franchise.

    Trivia: The sensor that Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) looks at when detecting the extra-dimensional creature during the opening of the movie is a modified 1977 Mattel handheld “Electronic Football” video game. Selling over one million units, this was one of the hottest items of Christmas 1977. The beep at the beginning is the “touchdown” sound, whilst the other beeps are the sound of the ball moving down the field.

    What is Giclee ?

    Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

    The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.

    Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

  • Halloween Alternative Movie Poster

    Halloween

    £195.00

    “The Trick Was To Stay Alive”

    John Carpenter’s masterpiece of modern horror “Halloween” was the first and by far the best of this enduring film franchise which acted as the definitive slasher flick. The artwork for any of the film poster produced are all extremely collectable and strikingly individual in design; from the ‘Jack O’Lantern’ US one sheet to the UK quad film poster featuring a screaming Jamie Lee Curtis as Michael Myers’ hand appears at the car window; all seen through an icy blue haze. Offered here is one of the best of the more modern alternative movie poster designs by the artist Paul Mann. Mann’s stunning imagery and use of bold colour tones makes for a truly eye-catching piece as a menacing Michael Myers takes centre stage against a backdrop of a flaming halloween pumpkin. Released in 2024 as a limited edition of only 70 (this is hand-numbered #12). Originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) the example offered displays to exceptional effect and represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable John Carpenter horror movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: John Carpenter considered the hiring of Jamie Lee Curtis as the ultimate tribute to Sir Alfred Hitchcock who had given her mother, Janet Leigh, legendary status in Psycho (1960) (for the same reason, Dr. Sam Loomis was named after Sam Loomis from Psycho). During the same period, Universal studio producers and director Richard Franklin were trying to enroll Jamie Lee in the new production of Psycho II (1983).
