Commissioned for a limited screening at the Alamo Drafthouse theatre in 2009, this fine example has been hand-numbered #253 from a print run of only 285.

    Trivia: Because of the popularity of the two earlier Godfather movies, Frank Sinatra reversed his anti-Godfather stance and expressed interest in playing Don Altobello. He lost interest because of the size of the paycheck for the role, and it went to Eli Wallach. Coincidentally, Sinatra got his role in From Here to Eternity (1953) when Wallach backed out due to scheduling conflicts with a Broadway play. Legend has it that Sinatra used mob ties to get Wallach’s part, which inspired the Johnny Fontane subplot in The Godfather (1972).

  • The-Grand-Budapest-Hotel-Movie-Poster

    The Grand Budapest Hotel

    £895.00

    “Are you Monsieur Gustave of the Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad ?”

    A beautiful movie poster for Wes Anderson’s best film to date, the multi Oscar winning 2014 production “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. Designed by creative arts agency BLT Communications, this original 2014 UK Quad film poster is the Style B version featuring the titular hotel and has been finished in a vintage / retro style which  looks quite amazing; very impressive and the landscape layout of the British quad is the best way to display the imagery. Although a huge success with audiences and critics alike the movie is considered “art-house” or “independent” and had a very limited cinema release meaning any paper from the title is truly scarce. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect. “The Grand Budapest Hotel” poster design  has become a modern cinematic classic, that appeals not only to film enthusiasts but also to collectors of design, fashion and contemporary art. With its striking pink façade and storybook alpine setting, it makes an exceptional display piece and remains one of the most desirable modern film posters on the market, valued for both its cultural significance and long-term collectability.

    Trivia: Ralph Fiennes partly based his character’s vocal traits on English comic actor Leonard Rossiter.

  • The Irishman Movie Poster

    The Irishman

    £175.00

    “If they can whack a President, they can whack a president of a union. You know it and I know it.”

    This is certainly one of the most compelling and despite its three hour plus runtime, most watchable films Martin Scorsese has directed. It is an epic  motion picture that will stand the test of time for years and years to come. The ‘cast’ style UK quad film poster by Concept Arts that accompanied this 2019 release of “The Irishman” was equally as striking as it features three of the greatest actors of any generation – Robert De Niro, Al Pacino & Joe Pesci. The originally rolled (as issued), unrestored example offered here has minimal handling and displays & presents to excellent effect with dark unfaded background and outstanding character imagery. Very scarce with a incredibly low print run, as it was essentially a Netflix streaming service movie which received a limited cinematic release so it would qualify as a contender for Academy Award recognition and was only shown in a handful of independent cinemas with no general release. A must have title for the serious collector or fan.

    Trivia: “I heard you paint houses” were the first words Jimmy Hoffa ever spoke to Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran. On The Tonight Show, Robert De Niro remarked that the term, along with “I also do my own carpentry work,” refer to both the hit and the clean-up.
