  Armageddon

  £95.00

  “Noonan’s got two women friends that he’d like to see made American citizens no questions asked. Max would like you to… bring back eight-track tapes. Not sure if that’s gonna work, but, uh, let’s see what else. Um, Chick wants a full week’s Emperor’s Package at Caesar’s Palace. Um – hey, you guys wouldn’t be able to tell us who actually killed Kennedy, would ya?”

  Michael Bay’s spectacular science-fiction blockbuster “Armageddon” is represented here by its dramatic original US one-sheet cinema poster. The minimalist design surrounds the Earth with a vast fiery ring, creating an ominous image of planetary destruction, while the burning title and stark black centre heighten the sense of approaching catastrophe.

  Released in 1998 and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, “Armageddon” follows a team of deep-core drillers recruited by NASA to prevent an enormous asteroid from destroying Earth. Bruce Willis, plays Harry Stamper and leads an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Billy Bob Thornton, Steve Buscemi, Michael Clarke Duncan, Will Patton and Peter Stormare.

  Measuring approximately 27 × 40 inches, the poster features the original July 1st release date and full theatrical billing block. Presented rolled, as issued, and remaining in excellent condition, its bold colours and simple apocalyptic imagery give it tremendous visual impact. A superb display piece for collectors of Bruce Willis, Michael Bay and 1990s blockbuster cinema.

  Trivia: Jerry Bruckheimer remembers getting a call from Michael Bay during post-production one day. Bay explained to the producer that he had heard that Godzilla (1998) was going to have a full soundtrack and didn’t understand why Armageddon didn’t. There were only a few moments in their film that had actual songs included on the soundtrack, but one of these songs was an Aerosmith song, likely their cover of “Come Together” over the montage scene where NASA is picking up all the men. They had a song they wanted to use, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” written by Diane Warren, and Bruckheimer and Bay decided they wanted Aerosmith to perform it. They invited the band to come to the editing room and watch clips from the film. Aerosmith was blown away and recorded the song three days later. It later got an Oscar nomination for Best Song.
