  • James Bond: The Living Daylights Film Poster

    James Bond: The Living Daylights

    £250.00

    “The New James Bond…Living on the edge…It’s the only way he lives”

    Timothy Dalton’s 007 debut as “The most dangerous Bond…Ever” in “The Living Daylights”. This poster was produced for a 1986 London James Bond exhibition to announce that filming had begun on the latest Bond adventure, “The Living Daylights”, which was to be released the following year. The poster shows a close-up of the front grill from an Aston Martin DB4, which was the model used by the Goldfinger production team during preliminary testing shoots prior to getting the DB5. The original 1986 Advance teaser movie poster offered here is presented  in excellent unrestored, rolled (as issued) unfolded condition with content perfectly suited to this landscape style with beautiful black and white photographic tones with a hint of metallic silver. Hugely desirable and very collectible, it would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia.

    For price comparison, in a recent London Auction Sale an example of this exact same poster sold for in excess of £2,000

    Trivia: The casting of Frederick Warder and Glyn Baker as 004 and 002 was intentional, due to their resemblance to George Lazenby and Sir Roger Moore, respectively. For the movie’s opening scene, the writers wanted to toy with the audience’s expectations of which of the 00 agents was Bond.

  • The Whale Alternative Movie Poster

    The Whale

    £395.00

    “A reclusive, morbidly obese English teacher attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.”

    The poster marketing campaign for any Darren Aronofsky movie is always special, with Aronofsky himself always personally involved with the design. For his Academy Award winning “The Whale” in 2022, a signed and numbered limited edition giclée print by James Jean was commissioned for the film. The print features a custom embossment and gold foil embellishments, each signed by both the artistJames Jean and Darren Aronofsky. There are very few in existence, with the example offered here, an even scarcer Artist Proof, hand-numbered #22/50 HC. One of the best looking movie related posters of recent years presented in high grade investment condition.

    James Jean had this to say on the commission “After Darren screened The Whale for me last year and asked me to create its poster, I immediately thought of Lucien Freud’s paintings of Leigh Bowery, and Kiki Smith’s self portrait, My Blue Lake. In the latter, Smith used a special camera to capture the periphery of her torso, resulting in an image that reads like a topographical map of her skin. While drawing Charlie (Brendan Fraser), I tried to channel Freud’s intimate yet unforgiving observations of Bowery. The depth of Charlie’s grief in the film is manifest in the expansive landscape of his body, barely able to contain all the feeling within. The skin is but a thin boundary between the external and internal worlds. In my drawing, his pain is full bleed and stretches beyond the margins, but his humanity and optimism breach the surface in the peaks and valleys of his face. A subtle texture of crumpled paper is embedded in the portrait, referencing the essay Charlie clutches in his hands throughout the film, an artifact from his daughter’s childhood that he cherishes for years and keeps him anchored away from the brink”

    Trivia: Following its debut screening at the Venice Film Festival, both the movie and lead actor, Brendan Fraser, were given a six-minute standing ovation. The moment, caught on camera, brought Fraser to tears.

  • The Woman in Black Movie Poster

    The Woman in Black

    £275.00

    “Do you believe in ghosts?”

    An outstanding modern example of a true British horror classic. An original 2012 Country of Origin British UK quad film poster for Hammer Films’ horror “The Woman in Black”. Unlike the computer generated, photoshopped posters that accompanied the initial release, renowned horror illustrator Graham Humphreys was commissioned by Momentum and Hammer Films, to create an exclusive ‘old school’ horror poster for certain limited screenings as part of the Hammer Classic Film archive collection. These examples, all personally hand-signed by Humphreys are incredibly scarce and highly sought after by poster and Hammer collectors. Presented in original, unrestored condition this rolled (as issued) poster displays and presents to excellent effect that due to the very limited print run represents a sought item of horror movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The Woman in Black (2012) was originally passed by the British Board of Film Classification with a 15 certificate. However the distributor, Momentum Pictures, suggested several cuts and the BBFC agreed to a lower 12A certificate. Despite this, it was this film which was most complained about to the BBFC in 2011.
