I collect by theme. Drew Struzan is one of them. Since they look the same, I only listed US posters, not their foreign equivalent. I'm still missing a bunch, but I expect to get it all very soon. T. http://www.eatbrie.com/Struzan.html |

Great stuff - his Blade Runner is the "sleeper" poster - really under-rated IMHO:  |

I agree. I'm glad that they finally found a reason to use it, since it was rejected in 82.
Personally, Temple of Doom remains my favorite.

Definitely one of the greatest modern poster artists. There isnt a poor poster among the bunch.
My favorites have always been Return to Oz and Blade Runner.

I don't know if any saw "The Mist" from 2007 (if not, watch the B&W version!), but there is a great homage to Struzen (and The Thing) in the first few minutes! In fact, the whole scene is a great rant about the current state of movie posters and their devolution into today's photoshopped heads...
So wait, who did the original '82 art for Blade Runner? I guess I had always assumed it was Struzen as it looked like his style...

I also have this late 70s piece. Not a movie poster, but a commission to promote Manhattan Beach, CA, which is very close to me. Drew's son is the kid fishing on the poster. He's 42 now. A pretty rare poster.

That Manhattan Beach is very cool T! I am sure there aren't too many of those floating around.
Harry, I loved that bit in The Mist. I wonder if the idea for that came from Stephen King.

I might be wrong, and someone here might know the full story better than I do, but I dont think this was the exact poster that was rejected. From what I understood, he had been looking at his original for 25+ years and deciding what he liked about it and what he would change. When they asked him to do the final cut poster, he implemented those changes. |

I wasn't aware there was more than one. The one I have is a hardback but I wouldn't call it "big". I got mine at a remainder/overstock bookstore, "Half Price Books", which is a small chain scattered throughout the US. There are three outlets in Columbus, OH that I ransack every year during Cinevent  Sorry I can't be more specific, it, along with 99.9% of my collection is currently in storage. Lynn |

Hey, T, being the resident Struzan / Spielberg expert, have you ever seen this before?
I found it here...
According to this website, the WFRR poster is an unused concept poster. Here it is on Struzan's site. Very cool though. Here's another unused concept:  Update: Just looked through the site - you can learn a lot just meandering through it. You can buy the original Blade Runner painting for a measly $150,000: 
"I began working on this piece of art way back in 1982 when I was commissioned by the Studio to explore concepts for the poster. I did one color comprehensive originally and from that made a few alterations as requested by the Studio. In the end, they did not use my design so I never painted the finished illustration. In 2001, when Ridley Scott was thinking of releasing a new director's version of the film, I was asked if my original sketch from '82 could be used on the cover. It turned out that this was Ridley's favorite artwork for his film. I went through the usual artist angst, rather than use a comprehensive for the cover, better to use finished art and if I'm going to paint the finish should it be the 20-year-old design or should it be updated. I decided on the latter. The DVD was produced at long last and this is now the cover (2007)." |

Hey, Cinemania. Here's what I know...and what I don't know.
The Hellboy II poster I have is single sided, non-glossy, and printed on very thick stock and -- it is numbered with what appears to be gold paint, not marker. To the touch, you can feel that it is slightly raised on the poster's surface, not an imprint. I did not buy it at the convention, but I did buy mine from a dealer I trust on Ebay at the time that it was released. It is not signed by Drew like the Star Wars 10th anniversary poster, which he both signed and numbered. None of the editions of this poster that I have seen advertised claimed to have been signed by Drew, so I do not think that he numbered them. He might have signed some, but I have never seen one.
Hellboy I is a bit murkier. Mine is not as thick as Hellboy II but slightly thicker than a conventional one sheet, single-sided and non-glossy. My copy was bought about one year after the poster's initial release and I have never seen this version advertised as signed and/or numbered. I have searched the internet for any reference to the existence of signed/numbered versions of this poster and have come up empty handed.
It might be possible that Mezco had some signed, but I would rather doubt it.
I hope this helps. If I can pull these posters for pics soon, I will do so and post.
