  • Jaws Alternative Movie Poster

    Jaws

    £225.00

    “And what did you say the name of this shark is ?…It’s a carcaradon carcharias…It’s a Great White.”

    Probably the most important film of ‘modern’ cinema, launching a movie trend that is now commonly referred to as the ‘Summer Blockbuster’. It also happens to be one of the best and most memorable movie poster images ever ! So why reinvent it ? When it comes to impressive alternative movie posters, this Tony Stella offering (super stylish artwork) takes us back to the shores of Amity with a design that brings all the fear of the original movie flooding back with this incredibly fluid, and simple, yet evocative take on Steven Spielberg’s classic shark movie. Issued in 2019 as a joint collaboration between Vice Press and Bottleneck Gallery, this Variant white background edition (a colour palette that really emphasises the shark imagery) has been hand-numbered #95 from a print run of 100. Totally unrestored this originally rolled unfolded (as issued) example displays to exceptional effect. Perfect, colours is a truly outstanding and extremely rare  film poster print that represents a key item of highly sought after modern movie memorabilia…“You’re gonna need a bigger boat !”

    Trivia: Several decades after the film’s release, Lee Fierro, who played Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an “Alex Kintner Sandwich.” She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago; the owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her, and he was none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot.
