  • One Million Years B.C. Movie Poster

    One Million Years B.C.

    £3,595.00

    “Travel back through time and space to the edge of man’s beginnings… discover a savage world whose only law was lust !

    “One Million Years B.C.” is the most iconic of all Hammer posters features the quintessential image of Raquel Welch at her peak. Designed and illustrated by Tom Chantrell, Welch’s clad in fur-bikini image formed the centrepiece for arguably the most successful marketing campaign in Hammer’s history. Extremely scarce this is a country of origin example ‘full size artwork’ (another version exists with smaller imagery which was used by the ABC cinema chain with the backup feature The Bugs Bunny Show) UK quad film poster from first year of release 1966. Totally original and unrestored this sought after example needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated. Originally folded (as issued) this exceptional poster has stood the test of time and displays to excellent effect. The vibrant bright pink lettering really zings from the paper (apologies but this doesn’t really come across in the photograph). One of the best examples of British movie poster artwork and a real personal favourite. Incredibly collectable it represents one of the most desirable film posters ever produced and a fine piece of iconic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: A poster of Raquel Welch‘s character of Loana from this film was featured in numerous other films and TV series episodes. One of the most famous examples of this is the film The Shawshank Redemption (1994).

  • Pandora's Box Movie Poster

    Pandora’s Box

    £195.00

    “The Greek gods created a woman – Pandora. She was beautiful and charming and versed in the art of flattery. But the gods also gave her a box containing all the evils of the world. The heedless woman opened the box, and all evil was loosed upon us.”

    One of the great silent films, Georg Wilhelm Pabst’s “Pandora’s Box” is renowned for its sensational storyline, sparkling Weimar-period setting and the legendary, lead performance from its iconic star Louise Brooks who is featured prominently on the poster imagery. As a general rule BFI re-release posters are incredibly scarce due to limited print runs and distribution, being shown in literally a handful of independent and ‘art-house’ cinemas with the updated imagery often superior to many of the original release designs. The rolled (as issued) UK quad offered here is from the 2020 digital restoration BFI release and displays to excellent effect with beautiful imagery and design; lovely bright bold colours. A fantastic looking item and a fine piece of cinema memorabilia for a true classic of the silent era.

    Trivia: Despite being replaced by Louise Brooks at the last minute for the role of Lulu in Pandora’s Box (1929), Marlene Dietrich managed to snag another coveted role. Her removal from “Pandora’s Box” freed her up to play one of her most iconic roles, Lola Lola in Josef von Sternberg‘s The Blue Angel (1930).

  • Parasite Alternative Movie Poster

    Parasite

    £195.00

    “Act like you own the place…”

    Through films like Okja and Snowpiercer, director Bong Joon Ho has dazzled audiences with his unique knack for blending genres to tell layered, one-of-a-kind stories and now in the South Korean black comedy thriller “Parasite” he is receiving the critical and commercial acclaim he so richly deserves. To complement the Oscar success the hugely respected alternative movie poster printer Mondo commissioned Rory Kurtz to design a poster to complement the success. Winning four (4) Oscars at the 2020 ceremony, including Best Picture, Directing, International Feature Film and Writing (Original Screenplay). Kurtz’ artwork captures the seemingly picture-perfect moment between the happily rich Parks completely oblivious to what’s unfolding around them, and the Kim family relegated to the shadows struggling with their own complex feelings toward such wealth and privilege. This is a limited edition timed released, hand-numbered #616/2120. The example offered here presents and displays to excellent effect being originally rolled (as issued) with incredibly strong colours. An outstanding and extremely scarce ‘modern’ art/film poster that represents a fantastic piece of movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The film makes several nods to Alfred Hitchcock throughout. Stairs are used as a motif, voyeurism is used as characters watch scenes through windows 14 times, and (most obviously) there is a brief glimpse of an out of place Alfred Hitchcock collection in the Park’s home.

  • Pitch Black Movie Poster

    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.

  • Planet of the Apes Movie Poster

    Planet of the Apes

    £1,295.00

    “This is Commander Taylor, Astronaut. He has landed in a world where Apes are the rulers and Man the beast. Now he is caged, tortured, risks mutilation. Because no human can remain human on the Planet of the Apes.”

    It’s not often I get a poster in that makes me go WOW! Well this original Czech one-sheet is such a poster. The film is a personal favourite of mine and this poster is one of the best, for Arthur P. Jacobs’ “Planet of the Apes” (Planeta Opic). It was created in 1970, the movie’s first year of release in the Czech Republic. The poster displays colourful psychedelic-inspired artwork by Vratislav Hlavaty. This artwork comes in a smaller size and a much scarcer larger format, and it is the larger format (22.75″ x 33″) which is offered here. The poster is presented conservation linen-backed with some minor sympathetic restoration. The colours are stunning, deep & unfaded. “Planet of the Apes” is considered one of the pivotal sci-fi movies ever made and this original example would provide an incredible corner-stone addition to any movie fan’s collection.

    Trivia: At one of the first test screenings, a woman walked up to Charlton Heston and asked him how he was. Heston had no clue who she was until she revealed that she was Kim Hunter. He simply hadn’t recognized her as he hadn’t seen her outside of her ape make-up.
