  Blade Runner

  £595.00

  “Man Has Made His Match… Now It’s His Problem !”

  Adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’, Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” iconic dystopian classic is unquestionably one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. Re-issued several times in various formats & ‘cuts’ this is a rare original first release 1982 UK Quad country of origin movie poster for Scott’s hugely influential science fiction blockbuster. Although critically acclaimed on initial release, commercially the film never really proved popular with the cinema going public resulting in any paper from the first 1982 release extremely scarce, making this Jouineau Bourduge film poster a very nice find indeed. Totally original & unrestored the 1982 UK quad film poster offered here is in excellent, original folded (as issued) condition. It displays and presents superbly with just very minor handling wear and represents a fine piece of cinematic memorabilia for one of the most influential film’s not just of the sci-fi genre but modern culture in general.

  Trivia: This movie suffered at the box office because it opened at the same time as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The Thing (1982) suffered a similar fate due to the same reason. Although there was praise for the visual style, word of mouth about this movie’s slow pace and bleak themes quickly caused a decrease in attendance ratings. Both movies later reached cult status and received critical praise.

  Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut

  £275.00

  “Man Has Made His Match… Now It’s His Problem.”

  Ridley Scott’s visionary science-fiction masterpiece returned to cinemas in 1992 with “Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut”, promoted by this impressive 30 × 40-inch UK Quad poster. John Alvin’s celebrated artwork places Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard and Sean Young’s Rachael above the neon-lit towers, airborne vehicles and rain-soaked cityscape of futuristic Los Angeles.

  Loosely adapted from Philip K. Dick’s influential 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, the film follows a specialist police officer tasked with hunting genetically engineered replicants. Alvin’s atmospheric composition perfectly reflects its fusion of futuristic spectacle, film noir and philosophical mystery. This Director’s Cut removed the original narration and presented Scott’s darker, more enigmatic vision to a new generation of cinemagoers.

  Presented rolled, (as issued) this highly collectable British poster remains in excellent unrestored condition. With tremendous visual impact, it makes a superb display piece for collectors of Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford and classic science-fiction cinema
