“The world’s favourite detective has emerged from the fog…this is Sherlock for a new generation.”

When first aired in 2010 the television series “SHERLOCK” went on to receive rave reviews and a cult following, becoming one of the most successful TV shows ever produced being revered by critics and fans alike in its modern re-imagined and re-booted formula. So successful in fact that for the ‘final’ episode on January 15th 2017 the BBC decided to simultaneously broadcast it in cinemas as well as standard TV screens. The advertising campaign was one the most extensive ever commissioned by the BBC and the poster that accompanied the extremely limited (one night only) cinema release was truly exceptional. Highlighting the two stars (Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman) it really is stunning, dark and mysterious with a design perfectly suited to the landscape format of the UK quad film poster. Originally rolled this incredibly rare example displays to excellent effect. One of the best looking and most collectable film posters of recent years from a TV series that has become a global favourite. Never commercially available by the BBC these posters are unbelievably scarce and represent a marvellous piece of original collectable film & TV memorabilia…“All lives end; all hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage, Sherlock.”

Film Description

SHERLOCK: The Final Problem Movie Poster

“Long-buried secrets finally catch up with the Baker Street duo. Someone has been playing a very long game indeed and, alone and defenseless, Sherlock and Dr Watson face their greatest ever challenge. Is the game finally over ?”

I’ve always been a big fan of Steven Moffat‘s greatest creation Sherlock I think it is best detective mystery show and always will be. I am an avid Sherlock Holmes fan have read all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories over and over again. Many people who are complaining about this episode wanted a case or something similar to the reichenbach fall but this episode was entirely based on emotional context that Sherlock who never cared for anyone or anything,like when john met him everyone said he doesn’t have any friends but we see now why is that he just shuted off his emotions because of the past after seeing so many bad reviews I searched on Google for reviews on the final problem not a single bad critic review “the telegraph ” said that it was an exhilarating thrill ride and gave 5 stars so either you are wiser than show’s great writers and critics or you are dumb as hell..don’t believe in those false reviews it was a great episode. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are excellent in this episode. It works! They pull it off perfectly without losing the essential qualities of the characters. To all of you out there who love a great mystery you will love this episode. What I like the most about this episode is how they twisted the plot in a way we couldn’t imagine even after all the theories and things we thought of it was different completely. Many viewers were complaining about the show recently that it lack the elements it had before in season 1 and 2 and In this season’s first episode story was only dramatic and heart touching and dark and some viewers didn’t like that and said Sherlock isn’t that great anymore and same people were commenting on this season’s episode 2 to be best episode ever and I don’t know why they don’t understand that a show can’t go on forever on same story and villains.I liked every episode especially this one every episode including this one was unique in its own way.this episode has everything humor,tension, mystery, drama. If this is the last season and last episode of the series by this great ending I’ll always remember this as the greatest mystery shows ever made.

Most Popular Poster Types

US Posters

LOBBY CARD
11 x 14″ printed on heavy stock paper. Used as display in theatre lobbies. Originally made in sets of eight. Some sets have a title card, which contains credits and artwork, essentially a mini-poster. The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

WINDOW CARD
14 x 22″ printed on heavy stock paper with the top 4-6 inches usually left blank for the local cinema owner to fill in the cinema and the date it was due to play. Largely discontinued during the 1970’s.

HALF SHEET
22 x 28″ printed on heavy stock paper. The image displayed is normally a smaller version of the main poster, although some do have different artworks and sometimes come in two versions.

INSERT
14 x 36″ printed on heavy stock paper. Inserts usually have the same artwork as a one sheet. Popular with collectors since they are smaller and easier to frame. Normally come tri folded or rolled.

STYLE Y/FORTY BY SIXTY
40 x 60″ printed on heavy stock paper. Rare since they were primarily used for major motion pictures only. Designed to be used outside the theatre, on an easel, normally at a drive-in movie theatre.

ONE-SHEET
27 x 41″ printed on paper. This is the most common size of poster, intended to be displayed in a glass “marquee” case. It is the most sought after size by collectors. Since the 1980’s most posters are sent to the theatre rolled and maybe slightly smaller measuring 27″ by 40″ and with the advent of backlit light boxes a growing number of modern movie posters are available double-sided and the more traditional single-sided.

THREE-SHEET
41 x 81″ printed on paper. These were printed on two or three separate sheets designed to overlap, few survive. Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
