  MOON

  £225.00

  “The last place you’d ever expect to find yourself”

  For Duncan Jones’ 2009 science fiction masterpiece “MOON” Cardinal Communications have designed a most stylish and desirable movie poster for many a year. Truly stunning with exceptional design and graphics and due to the Film’s very low distribution (mainly to Independent or ‘art-house’ cinemas these posters are extremely scarce. This rolled (as issued) original UK Quad looks amazing and is presented in excellent condition and displays to fine effect.

  Trivia: The film makes several references to Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). GERTY looks and sounds similar to HAL 9000. They also have a similar dot: HAL’s is red and GERTY’s is blue. This film choreographs scenes in space to classical music, just as Kubrick did.

  Pitch Black

  £125.00

  “Don’t be afraid of the dark. Be afraid of what’s in the dark”

  An original 2000 US one-sheet movie poster for Vin Diesel’s breakthrough movie “Pitch Black” and the first film to feature Vin’s character Richard B. Riddick which to date (there is talk of a fourth in the works) has spawned three sequels, The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury (2004) (animated), The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), and Riddick (2013).Diesel is brilliant as Riddick, truly menacing but forced to help people who otherwise would only see him as a threat. There is also an underlying humour in his performance as well, which adds another dimension to the character. This is the sort of role that Vin excels in, the anti-hero, whos character is not as one-dimensional as first appears. The poster, designed by New Wave Creative is super stylish with a black and silver colour palette, with the example offered here presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition. It represents an impressive item of movie memorabilia that looks fantastic and also represents the first movie for one of cinemas most recognisable and successful actors.

  Trivia: The film developed from David Twohy‘s unused idea for Alien³ (1992) involving a space prison.

  Star Trek

  £125.00

  “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilisations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.”

  Original US one sheet film poster designed by advertising agency BLT Communications for J. J. Abrams’ 2009 science-fiction blockbuster “Star Trek”, featuring Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock and Zoe Saldaña as Nyota Uhura in the striking blue-toned photographic artwork.

  Dominating the lower half of the design is the iconic USS Enterprise, dramatically depicted under construction at the Starfleet shipyard, with Kirk riding towards it in the foreground.

  This is the full-size 27 x 40 inch (69 x 102 cm) US one sheet, printed with an impressive high gloss finish which gives the deep blues and blacks of the artwork a particularly rich appearance.

  An authentic cinema-issued poster, rolled (as issued) and never folded, presented in excellent high grade condition…“Live long and Prosper!”.

  Trivia: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and J.J. Abrams personally called upon Leonard Nimoy‘s home to request for his role in the film. According to Orci, the actor gave a “Who are you guys, and what are you up to?” manner before being told how important he was to them. He was silent, and Nimoy’s wife Susan Bay Nimoy told the creative team that after their conversation he had remained in his chair, emotionally overwhelmed by his decision to return as Spock, after turning down many opportunities to revisit the role. He decided to act in this film, as he was turned on by the script’s scope, and its detailing of the characters’ histories: “We have dealt with Spock being half-human and half-Vulcan, but never with quite the overview that this script has of the character’s entire history, his character growth, his beginnings, and his arrival into the Enterprise crew.”

  Starship Troopers

  £125.00

  “The only good bug is a dead bug…Forget the insecticide, bring on the nukes !”

  Fantastic sci-fi imagery for this eye-catching movie poster for a war movie with a difference…it’s set in the future and we’re fighting giant bugs. Paul Verhoeven’s chest thumping actioner “Starship Troopers” is a true ‘marmite’ film; you either love the no holds barred over the top spectacularly gory action or you hate the simple plot and stiff as a board acting. With an eye-catching design that teases the giant bugs, as you see just their deadly claws in the foreground with a colonial marine running headlong to do battle with it – all against the backdrop of an alien planet. From original year of UK release 1997 this excellent rolled (as issued) one-sheet presents and displays near perfectly and represents a fantastic piece of original collectable movie memorabilia from what is undoubtably a great sci-fi action movie (one of the first to utilise and effectively use CGI technology) which is fondly remembered and spawned a popular TV show & three big screen sequels.

  Trivia: Most of the arachnids appearing on film are CGI but a few life-sized, robotic models were built. However, during the battle scenes, the actors mostly wound up looking at director Paul Verhoeven himself who would stand in front of them and jump and scream, even chasing them with a broom in an attempt to generate some of the fearsomeness of a 12-foot space ant. Clancy Brown, who played Sgt. Zim, affectionately described the director as “a nutbag”, given to “jumping up and down with a bullhorn going, ‘I’m a big fucking bug! I’ll kill you!’ I loved him; he was so much fun.”
