Nice, Rich. And that is one 24 sheet that would be killer to see in person, too!

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Oooo how did I miss the cool French RE-ANIMATOR and the different STAR WARS posters? Wild! Congrats Chris and Thierry. I always dig seeing things i've never seen before.

Rich, are all the styles of WC, OS, 3sh, 6sh and 24sh shown in your pressbook, AND in color, like the ones you posted?

If so, would you post them here?

Pretty please?

I've seen this described as a photoshop disaster but I find it intriguing. I also like that it has an extra figure compared to the 1-Sheet. I also like Eva Green 

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Oooo I like that as well. I am super curious about this film, having read the series. The first book was the best, but left opened ended (so you'd buy the sequels). I wonder if Burton will be able to pull this film off. I know it's been bounced around (release date) for a while. That may spell trouble. Part of the book's charm/appeal was the use of "authentic" vintage photos of unusual people/events/things that the author used to work the story around. I do want to see the movie--good or bad--and I really like the poster. Congratulations on the score.

[skyjackers]

Thanks Monster. I haven't read any of the books but I've heard their good. I hope Burton can do them justice. He needs to get back to the quality of his earlier films so hopefully this is it. I also like Jane Goldman's work so I'm staying positive for now.

There may be a nod to his next film in this poster too...

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Nod to next film..? I looked up his imdb and saw possibilities for DUMBO  and / or BEETLEJUICE 2. So we're you referring to the elephant topiary? Hmm. Interesting.  Does he often do that...hide things in his posters? I had not heard that before. Cool.

[skyjackers]

Yes I was referring to Dumbo. Who knows if this is intentional but fun if it is. The roof has kind of a face in it too, like the house in the Beetlejuice poster but I'm probably stretching this a little now!

[paul waines]

Eva works for me...

I quite like the poster myself Matt, nice pick up.

[erik1925]

A big thank you to Mike (Undead) for finding this one for me at a much cheaper price than I was willing to pay.  And folded vs linenbacked, which makes it an even better deal.

Isnt this poster done by a well known designer? cant recall the name, tho. And were there a number of these made, almost like a series of posters, with the various, main characters' image highlighted in the center like this?

[paul waines]

Didn't know you were after that T, I could have let you know many months ago about it...

Now to find the other 4 that go with it?

[Chris9000]

T. makes sense on the linen backing... just wasn't sure where you were coming from with it. I've never bought a backed poster myself. I've only had two backed, but have taken extensive pre- and post- restoration pictures, and saved invoices in case there is ever a question of how much restoration was done, and by whom (again, my type-A coming to light).

I'm looking for everything Star Wars, Paul, that is everything I don't have.  You can always check my collection on my website.

And yes, I will be looking for the 4 extra panels.  I already found one, but it's not in the condition I like.

This is exactly how it should be done, and with such information, I'd be much more inclined to buy linenbacked posters.  Good job.

Is that the one from eBay as it looks the same pic. Its a lovely quad and well done on your purchase. Another sold about 6 months ago or so, I was watching that one but was sold as an auction. Same seller also has a Hildebrandt up for £2,400.

[eatbrie]

Yes it is. 

I'm also after the Hildebrandt but the 5mm trimming kills the poster, so it's a giant pass for me.

I got this lovely Argentinian Rumble Fish which arrived at my office recently and then of course a week later, the seller has another for sale, hmmmm but mine is legit. Perhaps another for you, EatBrie?

Katie, I just checked your http://rumblefishonline.com/ website...  Where is the collection?

[Damomac]

Not as exciting as other purchases here but like the art on this one - rare these days with newer posters, UK one sheet happy buyer

[eatbrie]

Very nice, actually.  You can't go wrong with a hand drawn poster, and I like the girl at the top right.  Reminds me of Struzan a bit.

Swedish OS for the UK movie, Love On the Dole (1941), with a young Deborah Kerr (age 19), in her first starring role. Tho a successful book and play, the British Board of Film Censors would not allow the film to be made in the 1930s, as it was considered "a very sordid story in very sordid surroundings, with dangerous undertones."

The film was released in Sweden in March of 1944 and the BFI did a screening of the movie in January of this year (2016) as part of their film series. (http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/485682/)

One little factoid I read about: The film was the first English made feature film to show English police wielding batons against a crowd.

The original poster art looks to have been done in charcoal with the added red color added when the poster was made. I think the detail is beautifully amazing and very life-like.

[Monster_A_GoGo]

I think the detail is beautifully amazing and very life-like.

I was going to agree with you and say that the eyes were especially life-like...and then I scrolled down and saw you had highlighted the eyes only in close-ups. Ha!Good find.
