  Alien

  £295.00

  “In space no one can hear you scream !”

  One of cinemas all time classic movies is Ridley Scott’s Oscar winning deep space horror “Alien”. The worldwide marketing campaign is instantly recognisable by the (now) iconic alien ‘egg’ imagery designed by the creative agency Bemis Balkind, and it is also one of the most licensed titles to commission for the alternative movie poster market with some incredible re-imagined imagery on offer, with this ‘Primordial Landscape Edition’ offering from Ise Ananphada one of the best in my opinion. In typical Ananphada style the artwork is intricate and beautifully detailed, featuring the titular Alien against a backdrop of key scenes and characters. A spot varnish finish has been applied to both the film’s title and the Alien which only emphasis what a stunning screen print this is. The photographs really don’t do justice to the print, this has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Hand-numbered #20/175 this presents and displays to excellent effect. Hugely collectable and a fantastic piece of cinematic movie memorabilia from a truly influential movie that changed the face of modern sci-fi horror forever.

  Trivia: Director Sir Ridley Scott and writers Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett wanted H.R. Giger to design the alien creatures based on drawings from his book ‘Necronomicon’, but they had some difficulties in convincing the studio. Executives were initially appalled by Giger’s dark and disturbing imagery, but Scott’s insistence finally won them over. Even so, Giger’s designs had to be changed several times because of their blatant sexuality.
