  Blade Runner

  £125.00

  “Man Has Made His Match… Now It’s His Problem !”

  Adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’, Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” iconic dystopian classic is unquestionably one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. Re-issued and released several times in various formats & ‘cuts’ these four over-sized full-colour lobby cards are from the original first release in 1982 as part of an extensive marketing campaign to promote the movie. Although critically acclaimed on initial release, commercially the film never really proved popular with the cinema going public resulting in any paper from the 1982 release extremely scarce, making these lobby cards very desirable. Three of the four cards feature Harrison Ford as the Blade Runner Deckard including a fantastic portrait image with the fourth card a shot of the futuristic 2019 Los Angeles. These special cards have no writing on the front at all, but on the reverse they have a Blade Runner logo of the title, with copyright information in the bottom of the back centre of each still. Each still is unrestored and offered excellent original unfolded/flat (as issued) condition. They display and present to beautiful effect and represent an impressive item of cinematic movie memorabilia for one of the most influential film’s not just of the sci-fi genre but modern culture in general.

  Trivia: The final scene was shot literally hours before the producers were due to take creative control away from Ridley Scott.

  The Shining

  £225.00

  “A masterpiece of modern horror”

  Marketing and multiple examples of promotional items are a trademark of Kubrick’s films and just when you think you have seen it all, something new shows up. A beautiful, complete set of all eight US over-sized (15″ x 20″ – 38 x 51 cm), full colour stills from first year of release, 1980 for Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece of modern horror  “The Shining”. These full-colour, full bleed (the imagery runs right to the edge with no border) cards comprise a series of incredible character and key scene imagery, that includes two from the iconic ‘Here’s Johnny’ moment with six in total to feature ‘mad’ Jack Nicholson. A rare find as a complete set as most were broken up and the cards sold individually. Totally original and unrestored, the cards are presented in high grade flat, unfolded (as issued) condition that display and present to excellent effect and even more impressive because of their larger size and hi-gloss finish. A genuinely scarce and hard to find example of  horror film cinema memorabilia for one of the most important and influential horror films ever made.“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…”

  Trivia #1: According to Shelley Duvall, the famous “Here’s Johnny !” scene took three days to film and the use of sixty doors.

  Trivia #2: For the “Here’s Johnny” scene in which Jack breaks down the bathroom door, the props department built a door that could be easily broken. However, Jack Nicholson had worked as a volunteer fire marshal and tore it apart far too easily. The props department were then forced to build a stronger door.
