Film and alternative movie posters by Thai artists are starting to gain a strong following with collectors, and with artists like Ise Ananphada, Banhan, Kwow and Tongdee Panumas, it’s easy to see why.

  • ALIENS Alternative Movie Poster

    ALIENS

    £325.00

    “This Time It’s War”

    An alternative movie poster for James Cameron’s “Aliens”, that is unquestionably one of the best (if not the best) for the title. Adam Stothard’s limited edition (hand-numbered #65/85) art print could be accused of giving away much of the film’s climax but Ripley’s ‘get away from her you bitch’  is cinematic legend. This fine art giclee print is printed on Hahnemühle photo rag metallic paper and screen printed using a gloss enamel varnish Layer (over the Queen Mother & title) is absolutely stunning, focussing on the ferocious battle between Ripley (using the Power Loader) against the Xenomorph Queen. “Aliens” has gone on to become a benchmark for the sci-fi actioner. The alternative movie poster offered here is from 2023 and presents to excellent effect in original unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition that represents a fine piece of movie memorabilia and artwork from a truly influential movie that changed the face of the modern sci-fi action movie forever.

    Trivia: Sigourney Weaver‘s Best Actress Academy Award nomination for this movie was the first ever for an actress in a role in an action and sci-fi movie.

    What is Giclee ?

    Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

    The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.

    Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

    Beastmaster

    £175.00

    “The epic adventure of a new kind of hero

    Largely due to the “Star Wars” effect and the huge global popularity of the “Dungeons & Dragons” role playing game, the 1980’s truly was the decade of the mystical sword and sorcery fantasy. Don Coscarelli’s “Beastmaster” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered with a large and loyal fanbase.

  • Blade Runner Movie Poster

    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.

    “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 several times in various formats & ‘cuts’ this is a rare original first release 1982 UK Quad country of origin movie poster for Scott’s hugely influential science fiction blockbuster. Although critically acclaimed on initial release, commercially the film never really proved popular with the cinema going public resulting in any paper from the first 1982 release extremely scarce, making this Jouineau Bourduge film poster a very nice find indeed. Totally original & unrestored the 1982 UK quad film poster offered here is in excellent, original folded (as issued) condition. It displays and presents superbly with just very minor handling wear and represents a fine piece of cinematic memorabilia for one of the most influential film’s not just of the sci-fi genre but modern culture in general.

    Trivia: This movie suffered at the box office because it opened at the same time as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The Thing (1982) suffered a similar fate due to the same reason. Although there was praise for the visual style, word of mouth about this movie’s slow pace and bleak themes quickly caused a decrease in attendance ratings. Both movies later reached cult status and received critical praise.

    Blade Runner 2049

    £150.00

    Many older model replicants – Nexus 8s with open-ended lifespans – survived. They are hunted down and ‘retired’…Those that hunt them still go by the name… Blade Runner.”

    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. So, it was no surprise a sequel was made, what was surprising was the follow-up never happened until 2017, thirty-five years after the original was released. Still, it’s fair to say the wait was worth it – “Blade Runner 2049” sees Harrison Ford reprise his role as Rick Deckard and a new Blade Runner is introduced, ‘K’ played by Ryan Gosling. It’s a visually beautiful movie with some imaginative action scenes perfectly orchestrated by director, Denis Villeneuve. The visual impact is certainly evident in the poster campaign that accompanied the release. Advertising agency WORKS ADV have produced an impressive series of posters including this amazing Advance ‘10.6.17’ US one-sheet. Produced in two versions – one with a red title and the other a blue title. For me the ‘Tiffany’ blue style (as offered here) is much more effective. This rolled (as issued) example displays and presents to excellent effect with minimal handling wear and represents an impressive piece of cinematic movie memorabilia for one of the most influential film series not just of the sci-fi genre but modern culture in general.

    Trivia: The first letter of the names of each of the wooden animals that Rick Deckard carved in this movie: Rhino, Antelope, Cat, Horse, Elephant, Lion, spell “RACHEL”.
