  • John Wick Movie Poster

    John Wick

    £125.00

    “That “fuckin’ nobody”… is John Wick. He once was an associate of ours. They call him “Baba Yaga.”

    Although a relatively recent release any paper for Keanu Reeves’ John Wick franchise is extremely desirable. This incredibly popular film series is always complemented by an equally incredible series of movie posters and for the 2024 re-release this close-up dark and moody photographic image of Reeves was used to create something special for the 10th Anniversary. Offered here is the Style A, US/International one-sheet for “John Wick”. Distinctive with its bold use of a dark colour palette and extreme close-up headshot of Reeves, it really is an impressive looking poster. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect with only very minimal handling wear. Having a very limited cinematic release of only two days this is a truly scarce item of modern original collectable movie memorabilia from one of the best action franchises in recent memory that looks very very cool !

    Trivia: Keanu Reeves became so proficient in tactical training, that his instructors said he was almost TOO good, at performing many tasks, such as reloading a magazine, faster and better than professional soldiers would in live-fire combat situations.

  • Jurassic Park Movie Poster

    Jurassic Park

    £475.00

    “An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making” 

    The blood red background silhouetting the infamous T-rex skeleton makes for the most iconic and instantly recognisable logo in cinema history. It can only be Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park”Ground breaking and game changing are phrases banded around far to easily in this day of modern cinema but “Jurassic Park” truly deserves these accolades. A massive worldwide success on its release with merchandising and memorabilia hugely sought after with the logo style design being the most desirable. From first year of release 1993 this rolled (as issued) Advance ‘Summer 1993’ original, unrestored UK quad film poster displays and presents to excellent effect. The bright red logo and title which is printed , slightly embossed, using a spot varnish finish, truly pops against the matt black background. From an aesthetic point of view I have always preferred the landscape format of the quad, as feel it suits the design (and is much more impressive) than the portrait style of a one-sheet. A fine piece of original movie memorabilia that is hard to find in such high grade condition from the film that kickstarted the CGI phenomenon and made millions fall in love with a T-Rex.

    Trivia: The novel was published in 1990. However, pre-production of the film began in 1989, using only Michael Crichton‘s manuscript. It was widely believed that the book would be such a hit that it would make an outstanding movie. It turns out that assumption was correct

  • Jurassic Park Movie Poster

    Jurassic Park

    £95.00

    “I’m, I’m simply saying that life, uh… finds a way.” 

    The blood red background silhouetting the infamous T-rex skeleton makes for the most iconic and instantly recognisable logo in cinema history. It can only be Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park”Ground breaking and game changing are phrases banded around far to easily in this day of modern cinema but “Jurassic Park” truly deserves these accolades. A massive worldwide success on its release with merchandising and memorabilia hugely sought after with the logo style design being the most desirable. Re-released for a very limited cinematic run in 2011 the original iconic design and colour palette has been reworked, using a striking silver background.  The UK quad film poster offered here displays and presents to excellent effect. From an aesthetic point of view I have always preferred the landscape format of the quad, as feel it suits the design (and is much more impressive) than the portrait style of a one-sheet. A fine piece of original movie memorabilia from the film that kickstarted the CGI phenomenon and made millions fall in love with a T-Rex.

    Trivia: In 2005, paleontologist Dr. Mary Schweitzer discovered red blood cells and soft tissue in the fossilized bones of a T. Rex, meaning dinosaur cloning may someday become a reality.

  • Killer Klowns from Outer Space Movie Poster

    Killer Klowns from Outer Space

    £4,995.00

    “It’s Craaazy! … big top … big shoes … big teeth!!”

    If you were looking for a film to define cult classic, and you don’t suffer from coulrophobia, look no further than the Chiodo Brothers’ 1988 sci-fi, comedy, horror “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”. From the incredible Tom Simpson artwork on the British Quad to the premise that a gang of aliens looking like grotesque, colourful circus clowns have come to Earth to terrorise and murder us by cocooning their victims in candy floss, it has everything a cult film fan could want. Regarded as one of the scarcest posters from the period and of the genre, this is a full size 30″ x 40″ (76 x 102 cm) from the very limited cinema release and not one of the smaller posters produced with the same artwork when it released on video in Great Britain. An incredibly hard film poster with very few printed with only an extremely small number to have survived. The U.S. one sheet with bland artwork is pretty scarce and finding this original English poster featuring Tom Simpson artwork is almost impossible.. especially in this excellent unrestored rolled (as issued) condition. It represents one of the funnest and coolest items of original cinematic movie memorabilia we have ever offered for sale…“In Space No One Can Eat Ice Cream!”

    Trivia: The popcorn gun include a compressor inside that would fire real popcorn. It was the most expensive prop in the movie, costing $7,000 and taking six weeks to build.

  • King Kong Movie Poster

    King Kong

    £125.00

    “And now, ladies and gentlemen, before I tell you any more, I’m going to show you the greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld. He was a king and a god in the world he knew, but now he comes to civilization merely a captive – a show to gratify your curiosity. Ladies and gentlemen, look at Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World.”

    An original 1993, 60th Anniversary US one-sheet for the classic “King Kong”. Re-released numerous times since its original 1933 premiere, this one-sheet takes its design inspiration from the 1960s re-release poster as Kong holds Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) against the backdrop of the the New York City skyline. I do like the use of black and white as a homage to how the original release was filmed – it also makes the gold and red title lettering really stand out. Any paper for “King Kong” is extremely sought after and collectable, which makes this 1993 example hugely desirable as it was printed in very limited numbers to coincide with a strictly limited New York City cinematic release and the 60th Anniversary release of the movie on video. Offered in superb, rolled (as issued) condition it represents an excellent piece of cinema history from the most influential monster movie of all time.

    Trivia: This is the only film to debut at the two largest theaters in New York City, the Roxy and Radio City Music Hall, simultaneously. The total seating capacity was about 10,000; it sold out every performance (10 per day) at both theaters.

  • Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Movie Poster

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

    £75.00

    No One Can Stop the Reign

    It’s not often I get a poster in that makes me go WOW ! especially a recent offering. Well this original 2024 UK quad for Wes Ball’s “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is such a poster. The franchise, from its original 1968 beginnings through to the Matt Reeves reboots is a personal favourite of mine and this poster is truly one of the best I have ever seen. The composition, detailed, intricate design by creative arts agency LA & Ten30 Studios is superb. The colours are stunning, deep & unfaded. The “Planet of the Apes” premise is considered one of the pivotal sci-fi movies series’ ever made and this is a worthy addition to the canon that represents a magnificent piece of film poster art.

    Trivia: The first Planet of the Apes film to be filmed for IMAX.

  • KRULL Movie Poster

    KRULL

    £125.00

    Beyond our time, beyond our universe…there is a planet besieged by alien invaders, where a young king must rescue his love from the clutches of the Beast. Or risk the death of his world.

    Largely due to the “Star Wars” effect and the huge global popularity of the “Dungeons & Dragons” role playing game, the 1980’s truly was the decade of the mystical sword and sorcery fantasy. Filmed at Pinewood Studios, largely using the same staff and crew that had previously worked on James Bond and Star Wars, Peter Yates’ “KRULL” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered. Boasting some of the best fantasy art seen on a movie poster by Josh Kirby this original 1983 UK quad for “KRULL” certainly impresses. Scarce and hard to find in this high grade condition, this originally folded (as issued) example looks fantastic and presents in exceptional condition that represents a fine piece of hugely collectable original 80’s sci-fi fantasy movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: A hand that could physically transform into a “Changeling Claw” was developed for the movie, but due to time constraints could not be developed in time and was not used in the film. The piece later was completed for Tobe Hooper‘s movie Lifeforce (1985).

  • Last Night in Soho Movie Poster

    Last Night in Soho

    £295.00

    “A murder in the past. A mystery in the future.”

    Although a relatively recent release any paper for Edgar Wright’s 2021 horror mystery “Last Night in Soho” is highly desirable. Not only because it is such a stylish and cool thriller movie but because of a beautiful painted movie poster created by artist, James Paterson. Although a huge success with audiences and critics alike the movie is considered somewhat ‘art-house’ and had a very limited cinema release resulting in the scarcity of the posters used in the marketing campaign with this particular example being an English language text style used for the Japanese release. Originally rolled (as issued) this Japanese B2 movie poster looks and displays to excellent effect with minimal handling wear with imagery perfectly suited to the portrait style format; the bold colours are particularly vibrant. A scarce, ‘modern’ original collectable movie memorabilia from a truly talented director that looks very very cool !

    Trivia: The drink ordered by Sandie early on in the film is a Vesper created by Ian Fleming in the 1953 James Bond novel Casino Royale. The character Vesper Lynd was portrayed by Eva Green in Casino Royale (2006).

    For price comparison an International poster site in the USA has the same poster offered for sale at $1,195.00

  • Lawrence of Arabia Movie Poster

    Lawrence of Arabia

    £695.00

    ”A thousand Arabs means a thousand knives, delivered anywhere day or night. It means a thousand camels. That means a thousand packs of high explosives and a thousand crack rifles. We can cross Arabia while Johnny Turk is still turning round, and smash his railways. And while he’s mending them, I’ll smash them somewhere else. In thirteen weeks, I can have Arabia in chaos.”

    A personal favourite; film and poster, fully deserving of the reverence it is held in. With artwork by Howard Terpning, this original 1962 French ‘MoyenAffiche film poster for “Lawrence of Arabia” (Lawrence d’Arabie) is a truly stunning piece featuring deep, rich colours and beautiful painted artwork of a sabre wielding O’Toole (astride a camel) leading his Arab army into battle.  Eye-catching and memorable as O’Toole’s presence dominates (rightly so) the poster. A real find in such high grade condition, benefitting from being conservation linen backed with only light restoration to the original foldlines. A magnificent example that displays and presents to excellent effect and represents a scarce & highly collectable item of authentic movie memorabilia that is without argument one of the greatest movies ever made.

    Trivia: The scene where T.E. Lawrence is given his first Arab clothes wasn’t working as written, so Sir David Lean took Peter O’Toole aside and said, “There’s something missing, Peter. What do you think a young man would do alone in the desert if he’d just been given these beautiful robes?” He pointed out to the desert and O’Toole’s eyes followed. “There’s your theatre, Peter. Do what you like.” So, O’Toole improvised Lawrence looking at his reflection in his knife.

  • Lawrence of Arabia Movie Poster

    Lawrence of Arabia

    £1,995.00

    ”Yes, it was my privilege to know him (Lawrence) and to make him known to the world. He was a poet, a scholar and a mighty warrior…He was also the most shameless exhibitionist since Barnum & Bailey.”

    A personal favourite; film and poster (I’m tied between this by Kerfyser and Terpning’s) fully deserving of the reverence it is held in. With artwork by Georges Kerfyser, this original 1962 French ‘GrandeAffiche film poster for “Lawrence of Arabia” (Lawrence d’Arabie) is a truly stunning piece featuring rich, deep red colour tones that allude to the heat of the desert and an incredible silhouette of O’Toole as Lawrence as an impressive backdrop. A real find in such high grade condition, benefitting from being conservation linen backed with only light restoration to the original foldlines. A magnificent example that looks even more spectacular in the larger format of the French ‘Grande’ that displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an extremely scarce & highly collectable item of authentic movie memorabilia for what is without argument one of the greatest movies ever made.

    Trivia: On his first location scouting trip in Jordan, director Sir David Lean discovered the remains of the Turkish locomotives and railroad tracks T.E. Lawrence had destroyed during the Arab Revolution. After forty years in the sun, they hadn’t even rusted.

    £545.00

    ”Yes, it was my privilege to know him (Lawrence) and to make him known to the world. He was a poet, a scholar and a mighty warrior…He was also the most shameless exhibitionist since Barnum & Bailey.”

    A personal favourite; film and poster (I’m tied between this by Michel Landi, Kerfyser and Terpning’s) fully deserving of the reverence it is held in. With artwork by Michel Landi (from a design by Georges Kerfyser), this original 1971 re-release French ‘Grande Affiche film poster for “Lawrence of Arabia” (Lawrence d’Arabie) is a truly stunning piece featuring an incredible orange colour palette that allude to the heat of the desert and an incredible image of O’Toole as Lawrence as an impressive backdrop. A real find in such high grade condition, benefitting from being conservation linen backed with only light restoration to the original foldlines.

  • Leon Movie Poster

    Leon: The Professional

    £75.00

    He moves without sound. Kills without emotion. Disappears without trace.

    Luc Besson’s 1994 dark action thriller “Leon: The Professional” remains one his most celebrated movies. Showing in only a handful of ‘art-house’ cinemas the advertising campaign was very low key and the distinctive British campaign is unquestionably the best looking of any marketing campaign. The stylish red and black design is used here on the fully illustrated synopsis tri-fold which is accompanied by four original black and white promotional stills; two feature Jean Reno as the master assassin Leon, one  shows his young apprentice Mathilda (Natalie Portman) with the remaining still a rare candid shot of Luc Besson. Any marketing material that accompanied the limited cinema release is truly scarce. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) it all presents in original unrestored condition with only minor handling wear. Hugely collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from a truly stylish cult classic movie of the 90’s.

    TRIVIA: Luc Besson got the idea of doing this movie while working on his previous movie, Nikita(1990). In that film’s third act, Victor the Cleaner appears to deal with the aftermath of Nikita’s botched mission. Realizing the potential of the character was underused in that movie, Besson decided to create a story that focused on the activities of such a character. Both Victor and Leon appear dressed in a long wool coat, sunglasses and a knit cap. Both are played by Jean Reno. The film’s working title was “The Cleaner”.
