  Escape From New York

  £225.00

  “The world’s greatest leader is a hostage in the most dangerous place on Earth. Now only the deadliest man alive can save him.”

  You probably couldn’t find better movie from the 1980’s that introduces such an iconic cult character in Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken (criminally only used in one more movie) or sums up the period quite like John Carpenter’s quintessential  sci-fi actioner “Escape From New York”. Carpenter always a well regarded and popular film maker has enjoyed a huge renaissance in more recent years so it was no surprise that this title was one of four seminal movies by the director re-released by Studio Canal in 2018, remastered in 4K, with the others being “They Live”, “Prince of Darkness” and “The Fog”. All four movies had a strictly limited cinematic release and were accompanied a newly designed poster campaign (quads and one-sheets) by leading artist Matt Ferguson. Ferguson’s unique artistic style is evident throughout the four, each with its very own unique colour palette. A number of these full-size 30″ x 40″ UK quad styles were also released as a limited edition art print by Vice Press. Identical to the cinematic quad, in fact exactly the same – same paper, printer etc these were issued as timed releases each signed and hand-numbered by Matt Ferguson. Offered here is one of these signed art prints numbered #48 from a print run of only 231. Originally rolled (as issued) it presents in excellent condition. A cool, cult poster that represents very collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from one of the greatest and most influential director’s who is still actively working in the film industry.

  Trivia: The model of the city set was repainted and reused for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.

  Le Mans

  £1,295.00

  “Steve McQueen takes you for a drive in the country…The country is France. The drive is at 200 MPH!”

  Incredibly rare original 1971 French Grande “Le Mans” movie poster. Any paper from this sought after Steve McQueen motor racing title is sought after, with the French Grande design considered one of the very best for this iconic McQueen movie. Beautiful, photo realistic painted artwork by Rene Ferracci, featuring a stunning image of McQueen as a backdrop to the race cars, that in this large format is particularly impressive. Originally folded (as issued) this unrestored example presents and displays to very good effect with only minimal age and handling wear. A film where any posters are genuinely scarce and very hard to find due to the very limited cinematic release at the time. It has (over time) become an iconic and much admired motor sports film showing just why Steve McQueen was the true King of Cool…Highly recommended; a personal favourite, classic and elegant…A great looking piece of truly collectable movie and motor racing memorabilia and it’s STEVE MCQUEEN ! …“Racing’s important to men who do it well. When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting”

  Trivia: The 1970 911S Porsche driven by Steve McQueen in the opening scenes (and owned by his Solar Productions) was auctioned in 2011 and brought in $1.375 million and his worn racing suit from the movie sold for $960.000
