  • From Dusk Till Dawn Alternative Movie Poster

    From Dusk Till Dawn

    £225.00

    “One night is all that stands between them and freedom. But it’s going to be a hell of a night.”

    A personal favourite movie and alternative movie poster - Robert Rodriguez' "From Dusk till Dawn" combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin, vampires, and some funny dark humour from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it shows Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino as a tight screenwriter who bring to the screen shoot em up vampire fun for the Pulp Fiction/Evil Dead devotees. A fantastic interpretation by Frank Frazetta for this grindhouse, horror-heist collaboration that perfectly captures the feel, look and attitude of the movie. Visual impact and artistic design are key aspects of any Tarantino/Rodriguez production and this beautiful example perfectly illustrates that fact, as a super-sexy Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek) dominates the imagery. Legendary artist Frank Frazetta originally painted this art as a poster concept in 1996 after being personally (Rodriguez is a huge Frazetta fan) commissioned by Robert Rodriguez himself. Absolutely stunning, the photograph really doesn't do this example justice - being a giclee print (see below) with colour separations by Jason Edmiston the vibrant colours pop from the paper as this 2022 hand-numbered (#16/70) art print displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an amazing piece of cult cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Originally, Quentin Tarantino pitched this to John Travolta the same time as he was preparing to film Pulp Fiction (1994). Travolta was not interested in working on a vampire movie, and wanted to work on Pulp Fiction instead.

    What is Giclee ?

    Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

    The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.

    Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

Ivan Reitman’s masterpiece is a much loved genuine classic that has been complemented by a series of alternative movie posters and in 2019 Mondo commissioned leading artist – Robert Sammelin to create his version.

An extremely scarce example and an impressive item of collectable film movie memorabilia from one the best movies to come out of the 1980’s.

    Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” is an iconic motion picture and a giant of the crime genre that will stand the test of time for years and years to come.

Pesci relayed the anecdote to Martin Scorsese, who decided to include it in the film. Scorsese didn’t include the scene in the shooting script, so that Pesci and Ray Liotta‘s interactions would elicit genuinely surprised reactions from the supporting cast.

    “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” — Henry Hill, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1955.”

    Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” is an iconic motion picture and a giant of the gangster genre that will stand the test of time for years and years to come.

This originally rolled (as issued) example displays & presents to fine effect. Hugely desirable and a must have title for the serious poster collector or Goodfellas fan it represents a premium piece of quality collectable movie memorabilia.
