    2001: A Space Odyssey

    £1,795.00

    HAL: I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.”

    Bluntly, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” is the greatest science-fiction film made to date with memorabilia avidly sought and collected, particularly the example that’s offered here – an outstanding Polish film poster with artwork by Wiktor Gorka. It’s an incredible, eye-catching, abstract design with deep, unfaded colours. An ultra rare film poster with a strictly limited number printed and issued in very low numbers to cinemas in Poland showing the film. Presented conservation linen-backed it really does display to superb effect. With its incredible scarcity and the Film’s historical cinematic influence it represents a true investment grade piece of original highly collectible cinema movie memorabilia. A science fiction fantasy, it is one of the most original films ever made, by one of the greatest ever film-makers.

    Trivia: In the premiere screening of the film, 241 people walked out of the theater, including Rock Hudson, who said, “Will someone tell me what the hell this is about?” Arthur C. Clarke once said, “If you understand ‘2001’ completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered.”

  • James Bond: Licence To Kill Movie Poster

    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.

  • James-Bond-:-The-Living-Daylights-Movie-Poster

    James Bond: The Living Daylights

    £295.00

    “The New James Bond…Living on the edge…It’s the only way he lives”

    1987 was the end of a historic movie tradition as Brian Bysouth produced the last fully drawn painted James Bond film poster (Fascinating Brian Bysouth interview with Eddie Shannon of Film on Paper) for Timothy Dalton’s 007 debut as “The most dangerous Bond…Ever” in “The Living Daylights”. The advance teaser poster preceding this was a mixture of photograph and artwork created by Brian, the advertising agency Feref, Jeffrey Bacon & David Generic and is distinctive for the see-through negligee. However it is not Bond babe Maryam d’Abo in the shot but American model Kathy Stangel in this famous pose & beautifully photographed by Jim McCrary. The original 1987 UK (country of origin) movie poster offered here is presented  in exceptional unrestored, rolled (as issued) unfolded condition with bright and unfaded colour tones and white areas that are truly bright. Hugely desirable and very collectable, it would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Kara Milovy (Maryam d’Abo) is the last “main” Bond girl to be blonde until Spectre (2015). All leading Bond girls in the other films since have been brunettes or redheads.

  • James Bond: The Living Daylights Movie Poster

    James Bond: The Living Daylights

    £195.00

    “The New James Bond…Living on the edge…It’s the only way he lives”

    1987 was the end of a historic movie tradition as Brian Bysouth produced the last fully drawn painted James Bond film poster (Fascinating Brian Bysouth interview with Eddie Shannon of Film on Paper) for Timothy Dalton’s 007 debut as “The most dangerous Bond…Ever” in “The Living Daylights”. The first advance teaser poster preceding this was the work of photographer Keith Hamshere as he gave us our first look at Roger Moore’s replacement – Timothy Dalton. Dalton’s colder, grittier portrayal of Bond in “The Living Daylights” is considered by many fans of the franchise to be the closest and most faithful to the characterisation of Bond from the original novels by lan Fleming.The original 1987 UK (country of origin) movie poster offered here is presented  in exceptional unrestored, rolled (as issued) unfolded condition with bright and unfaded, crisp colour tones. Hugely desirable and very collectable, it would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The casting of Frederick Warder and Glyn Baker as 004 and 002 was intentional, due to their resemblance to George Lazenby and Sir Roger Moore, respectively. For the movie’s opening scene, the writers wanted to toy with the audience’s expectations of which of the 00 agents was Bond.

  • James Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me Alternative Movie Poster

    James Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me

    £295.00

    “…maybe I misjudged Stromberg. Any man who drinks Dom Perignon ’52 can’t be all bad.”

    A magnificent alternative movie poster for Lewis Gilbert’s 1977 James Bond extravaganza…“The Spy Who Loved Me”…Cubby Broccoli wanted this to be “BIGGEST Bond of All” and it certainly lived up to the billing, utilising the massive purpose built 007 soundstage at Pinewood Studios, still very much in use today. The action-packed artwork by artist Alfons Kiefer features all the classic imagery you’d expect to see in a Bond film, 007 dressed in a tuxedo, exotic location, gadgets, psychotic villains and beautiful, glamorous women – Barbara Bach who played the Russian super spy Anya Amasova (Agent XXX) and Caroline Munro (the helicopter pilot Naomi). This thirteen-colour screenprint is presented on Fedrigoni Materica Gesso paper and is hand-numbered #34/85. This amazing limited edition art print represents a fine piece of very collectable James Bond movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The closing credits say, “James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only (1981)” but, because of the successes of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977),  the space set Moonraker (1979) was chosen.

  • John Wick Movie Poster

    John Wick

    £895.00

    “John Wick isn’t the Boogeyman… He’s the guy you send to kill the f*cking Boogeyman.

    Although a relatively recent release any paper for Keanu Reeves’ John Wick franchise is extremely desirable. This incredibly popular film series which has changed the way action movies are made has spawned (too date) three sequels, a documentary (Wick is Pain), a TV series (The Continental) and character spin-off movie with Ana de Armas as Ballerina. Complemented by an equally incredible series of movie posters this example designed by creative arts agency LA which features ‘Baba-Yaga’ John Wick in close up aiming a gun is without doubt the rarest and most sought after. When first released in 2014 it took cinema audiences by surprise as they expected an another average action movie starring an unfashionable actor who hadn’t made a decent movie for years – JOHN WICK changed that overnight as Keanu let everyone know – “I’m thinkin’ I’m back” . Because of low Studio expectation the initial marketing budget was minimal which resulted in only a limited number of cinema posters printed – they are incredibly scarce. Offered here is an original, first release (2014), country of origin US one-sheet. Dark & moody, it really is an impressive and eye-catching design. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays superbly with minimal only handling wear; the dark shades of green, purples and blacks are deep and unfaded. This is the first time in over nine years that I have managed to source one. It truly is one of the most collectable movie posters in recent memory from a supremely influential action franchise that looks very very cool !

    Trivia: The film reunites Keanu Reeves, Daniel Bernhardt, and Randall Duk Kim, along with producers-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, all of whom were involved in The Matrix Trilogy.

Originally rolled (as issued) this superb example presents and displays to excellent effect & represents a really fine and affordable item of original British movie memorabilia for the film that “makes Ben Hur look like an epic”.

    Trivia: Though he was renowned as the most restrained and unflappable of the Pythons, when Sir Michael Palin was asked to do a seventh take of the scene where he crawls through mud, he had, in his own words, “A jolly good blow-up.” John Cleese and Graham Chapman were so astonished that they gave him a round of applause.

  • Quatermass and the Pit Movie Poster

    Quatermass and the Pit

    £2,250.00

    “A Force more powerful than 1,000 H-Bombs unleashed to devastate earth ! World in panic ! Cities in flames !”

    A beautiful and incredibly rare country of origin UK quad film poster and one of Hammer’s best for Roy Ward Baker’s 1967 supernatural alien invasion thriller “Quatermass and the Pit”. Tom Chantrell’s magnificent detailed artwork; heaving bosoms, London aflame in ruins, glittering spaceships, martian devils is stunning…A personal favourite and featured in Marcus Hearn’s excellent book “The Art of Hammer”. Folded (as issued) with strong vibrant colours this totally original unrestored investment grade example from first year of release 1967 presents superbly and is a very rare example of country of origin Hammer Horror memorabilia and one of the best movie posters produced from one of their finest and most respected productions…“You realise what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects”

    Trivia: When Dr. Quatermass is picking at the eyeball of the dead Martian creature in his laboratory, the pupils of the compound eye are a rectangular slot shape rather then round like a human eye. This is reminiscent of a goat’s eye, a creature that, for centuries, has been associated with witchcraft and sorcery.
