Campbell Jr."; it is a re-make of the 1951 movie, "The Thing from Another World", based on the same story, and with James Arness as "The Thing") starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T.K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites. This is one of Carpenter's best movies, and in many ways it is more enjoyable and superior to the original version! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Drew Struzan Important Added Info: Note that we have noticed that there appear to be three different versions of this poster, the only difference being the placement of Kurt Russell's credit and the bottom white border. On this poster, he is listed at lower left in a not very prominent position and there is no film title in the bottom border. On the other posters, he is listed separately on his own line and some of those posters have a title in the bottom border and some do not. Perhaps he was not happy with his billing on this poster and new posters were printed with the different credits arrangement! All three styles are original first release posters. Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It appears to have been both compressed while rolled and bent while rolled, as it has light horizontal creases scattered throughout and a series of creases running vertically at center (see our image). After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
