  Dead Zone

  £175.00

  “In his mind, he has the power to see the future. In his hands, he has the power to change it.”

  Original UK Quad film poster for DavidCronberg’s 1983 sci-fi, horror, thriller “The Dead Zone”. Stephen King’s bestseller (his first to hit #1 and still one his most successful) is stylishly brought to the cinema screen by Cronenberg. Renowned for the more gory, body horror approach to film making, this is very much a clever and restrained adaption – and in my opinion is far better for it. Taking inspiration from one of the key scenes in the movie, British advertising agency FEREF have created an eye-catching design for the UK marketing campaign poster (imagery that is actually unique to the UK). Folded (as issued) this stunning example displays to excellent effect (probably unused). It represents a very high quality piece of Cinema memorabilia from a truly groundbreaking, influential film maker and the most successful American writer in history.

  Trivia: This movie doesn’t explain the meaning of the phrase Dead Zone like the book does. Stephen King was going off old theories that people only use 10% of their brains, and that we haven’t even unlocked the secrets of the other 90%; and that when Johnny was in his coma his brain had to create new pathways to get around the paralyzed part of his mind. So new pathways were created in the Dead Zone, that 90% that people normally don’t use; and this enabled him to develop powers of ESP and second sight.

  James Bond: Licence To Kill

  £175.00

  “His bad side is a dangerous place to be”

  Timothy Dalton’s second outing as 007 was a truly gritty tale of revenge and action with a great white shark being an unusual instrument of torture for one scene. Keith Hamshere (who made Dalton the ‘perfect’ Bond in The Living Daylights campaign ) was again retained as the Bond photographer on this 1989 country of origin British UK quad for “Licence to Kill” featuring a moody Timothy Dalton in close up. Genuinely scarce this rolled (as issued) example looks superb and is presented totally unrestored in high grade condition and represents a worthy addition for any poster collector or any collection of James Bond cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: It is widely and incorrectly rumored that this was Timothy Dalton‘s last James Bond film due it being financially disappointing. In reality, Dalton was to star in a third James Bond film after this one, titled “Property of a Lady”, written by Michael G. Wilson and Alfonse Ruggiero Jr. and set to start shooting in 1990, with pre-production work having begun in May of that year. However legal issues with MGM beginning that year created long delays which eventually led Dalton to announce his retirement from the role in 1994, a year after his initial contract expired, paving the way for Pierce Brosnan‘s casting in GoldenEye (1995). Had the film been made, it would have been set in Scotland, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, and would have involved nanotechnology.
