An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Movie Poster (measures 24" x 39" [61 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) THX 1138, the 1971 George Lucas science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian future melodrama ("The future is here."; "Visit the future where love is the ultimate crime."; "Story by George Lucas"; "Executive Producer, Francis Ford Coppola") starring Robert Duvall (in the title role as THX 1138), Donald Pleasence, Don Pedro Colley, John Seaton, Johnny Weissmuller Jr., Susan Baldwin, Ian Wolfe, and Maggie McOmie. Note that this was George Lucas' first movie. Some people (including myself) liked it quite a bit, but generally its dark and ultra-depressing theme turned off audiences, and it was not very successful on first release.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned this special poster two times in all our years of auctioning! One time the poster was in much lesser condition, and the other time the poster was in nice condition, but that was 18 years ago, when it sold for $405! Also note that this poster is a special "chrome robot" poster for George Lucas' first feature, THX 1138. It is printed on a heavy paper stock, and the surface of it is completely chromed. It is from the original 1971 release of the movie, and it was not sent out to theaters in general (theaters showing the movie had to contact a special address listed in the pressbook in order to get this poster). Also note that this poster is printed on a foil material and is very difficult to accurately photograph, but is quite striking when viewed in person! Also note that foil material scuffs quite easily, and is difficult to find in nice condition. Condition: very good. The poster has a pinhole in each corner and some minor border wear, with a few creases scattered around the edges of the image. Learn More about condition grades
