  Silent Running

  £495.00

  “In a future where all flora are extinct on Earth, an astronaut is given orders to destroy the last of Earth’s plant samples, kept in a greenhouse aboard a spacecraft.”

  A very COOL poster and a fantastic example of the supremely talented film poster artist George Akimoto – a master at illustrating anything aeronautical, especially space ships. And it’s the amazing painting of the space ship “Valley Forge” together with a wonderful image of Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) who is the space ranger who together with Huey (along with Dewey and Louie, one of the three scene stealing drones) lovingly cares for the last of Earth’s plant-life . This original “Silent Running” movie poster has it all; incredible graphics, great detail & amazing colours. It is very rare and one of the scarcest movie posters from the early 1970’s to find. The original UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1972 and displays to excellent effect. Originally folded (as issued) it is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Several shots of the ‘Valley Forge’ and its sister ships were later re-used in the television series “Battlestar Galactica”, as agricultural ships in the refugee fleet.
