  The Fifth Element

  £75.00

  “There is no future without it !”

  A rare rolled example of a Japanese first release video poster for Luc Besson’s sci-fi actioner “The Fifth Element”. This ‘Jump’ style design is unique to the Japanese release and features one of the key scenes from the movie. Presented in a widescreen ratio the image so sharp it’s almost like you are watching the film. Unusually, although it was printed for the Japanese release all of the test is in English. Offered here is an original landscape format Japanese B2 from its first release in 1997. The beautifully detailed artwork combined with amazing colours it certainly impresses. Presented in rolled (as issued) unrestored, original condition it represents a fine example of desirable and highly collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Cartoonist Jean-Claude Mézières of “My Fifth Element”, also says that Luc Besson approached him for ideas, telling him: “I want to make a movie based on your visuals. But I am ready to pay you for the work.” The nuance is because there has long been a controversy that many elements in the Star Wars saga (several aliens, Darth Vader’s costume, Leia’s golden bikini, Han Solo’s carbonite) were lifted almost unmodified out of Valerian (in particular ‘L’Empire des Mille Planètes’, published in 1971), of which George Lucas is known to own several original editions, as seen during interviews in his study.
