  American Psycho

  £275.00

  “…no introduction necessary”

  For me, one of the reasons the alternative movie poster market is so well regarded, Jack Hughes’ impressive alternative movie poster for Mary Harron’s serial killer cult thriller “American Psycho” hits all the right chords – demonic possession, an alter ego represented by the face peel right from the movie. Just creepy and dark and like a Francis Bacon painting it makes you feel the pain. Released in 2021 it presents to excellent effect being originally rolled (as issued), featuring a design perfectly suited to the movie’s tone and feel. A stylish and memorable poster, that is hand-numbered #199 from a print run of 220 from that represents a very collectable item of cult original movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The film had various problems with designer labels during production. Cerruti agreed to allow Christian Bale to wear their clothes, but not when the character was killing anyone. Rolex agreed that anyone in the film could wear their watches except Bateman (hence the famous line from the book “Don’t touch the Rolex” had to be changed to “Don’t touch the watch”). Perry Ellis provided underwear at the last minute after Calvin Klein pulled out of the project. Comme des Garçons refused to allow one of their overnight bags to be used to carry a corpse, so Jean Paul Gaultier was used instead.

  I Shot Andy Warhol

  £125.00

  “You only get one shot at fame.”

  One of the most impressive ‘arthouse’ film posters of recent memory; a true visual pop art masterpiece featuring Lili Taylor (playing Valerie Jean Solanas) shooting a revolver all in the style of an Andy Warhol screen printed canvas. The one-sheet of Mary Harron’s controversial true-life documentary for “I Shot Andy Warhol” is a piece of art in its own right. The US imagery although similar to the British design, which is in block colour, is actually in black and white and because of this you I think it’s the more pleasing design and you would be hard pressed to find a better looking poster. Being an independent ‘arthouse’ film meant it was shown in a very small, limited amount of cinemas, making these posters are incredibly hard to come by. Totally original and unrestored this rolled (as issued) poster example displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia.

  Trivia: The filmmakers were given permission to reproduce some of Andy Warhol’s paintings and silk screens for the set, but they had to destroy them after filming.

  The Notorious Bettie Page

  £95.00

  “Show some restraint !”

  An original US one sheet movie poster for Mary Harron’s S & M, bondage biopic for “The Notorious Bettie Page”. A sexy and distinctive design by creative arts agency ‘And Company’ is extremely sought after and collectible. This clever, teasingly designed advance teaser US film poster is from first year of release 2005 and is printed on a heavier than usual quality paper stock. Being originally rolled (as issued) it displays to excellent effect with striking red background colour and eye-catching ‘Bettie Page’ (Gretchen Mol) imagery. Beautifully presented this scarce example represents a fine piece of original and desirable film movie memorabilia…Certainly a talking piece.

  Trivia: Was originally going to be ‘Mary Harron”s follow up to I Shot Andy Warhol but for some unknown reason the financiers backed out at the last minute. Around that time Harron was given a copy of the novel ‘American Psycho’ and she decided to make it her next film until she could find financiers for her Bettie Page movie. It then took almost five years to get the money for The Notorious Bettie Page. Guinevere Turner also co-wrote both this film and American Psycho (2000) with Harron.
