  20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

  £325.00

  “A ship sent to investigate a wave of mysterious sinkings encounters the advanced submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by Captain Nemo.“

  This alternative movie poster by Thai artist Kwow for Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” is a spectacular display of imaginative artwork. Kwow’s impressive artwork beautifully imagines the most memorable action scene from the book and the film as the giant squid attacks the Nautilus and its beautifully complemented by some amazing realistic likenesses of the main cast members – James Mason as Captain Nemo, Kirk Douglas, Peter Lorre and Paul Lukas. If you are a Jules Verne fan, this is simply one of the best pieces of art you can get. Directed Richard Fleischer and personally produced by Walt Disney. It was the first feature-length Disney film to be distributed by Buena Vista Distribution company and is also considered by many to be a precursor to the ‘Steampunk’ genre. Printed on Fedrigoni Stucco Old Mill Premium White paper using 10 coloured inks, this hand-numbered #57/110 screen print displays and presents superbly and is offered in excellent rolled (as issued) condition. 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. An eye-catching item of modern movie memorabilia for an extremely popular Walt Disney fantasy adventure film that creates a real ‘WOW’ factor.

  Trivia: In 1969, Captain Nemo’s pipe organ, which had been on display in Disneyland, was redressed and now resides in the ballroom of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. A duplicate was constructed for the ballroom of  Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion, which opened in 1971, and over a decade later another duplicate was built for Tokyo Disneyland.

  Killer Fish

  £95.00

  “The hell that was under the water…KILLER FISH !”

  Exploitation film posters don’t get better than Tom Beauvais’ artwork for the 1979 UK quad “Jaws/Piranha” rip-off for “Killer Fish”. Italian financing and production at its finest with an all-star (TV) cast filming on location in Brazil and Rio De Janeiro. Cashing in on his kudos as “The Six Million Dollar Man”, Majors is prominent on this British movie poster which contains a great mix of characters and action. The rare original UK quad film poster offered here is from first year of release 1979. Originally folded (as issued) this scarce unrestored example presents to excellent effect with impressive ‘B’ movie action monster art and bright vivid colours. A fine piece of very desirable collectable original movie memorabilia for a much loved cult classic.

  Brilliant interview with the artist Tom Beauvais by Eddie Shannon.
