An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Movie Poster (measures 16 3/4" x 26 3/4" [43 x 68 cm]) (Learn More) The Shape of Water, the 2017 Guillermo del Toro (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Canadian/U.S. romantic fantasy adventure horror melodrama (winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Sally Hawkins (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Doug Jones (as the Amphibian Man creature), Michael Stuhlbarg, and Octavia Spencer (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very special poster that was created as a promotional item for this most unusual movie. It is a "faux" poster created to look like it is a historical chart created many years ago, showing "Anatomy of Homo Piscis" (which is the creature from the movie), and it is set up like an old fashioned anatomy display from a doctor's office. The poster itself is printed on a canvas material that has been artificially "aged" to make it look old. It has wooden pieces attached to the top and bottom of the poster with screws, and the bottom wood has a metal plate attached to the middle and within the plate "Dr. Guillermo del Toro"! There is a string attached to the top piece of wood to allow it to be hung. The poster rolls and comes in a specially made tube designed to hold it which has two stickers attached to it with the name of the movie, the year of "1962" (when the movie is set), the name of the director and "Classified". Included with the poster is a 8 1/4" x 11 3/4" memo", printed on artificially aged paper which purports to be a "confidential memorandum" about "a new discovery in London" and describing the recent discovery of a vivisection of a fish-man which confirms that the government was not the "first to encounter such a species" (see our image). The ends of the tube have a printed logo with "Department of Defense Aerospace Research" in a circle around it. This is surely one of the most elaborate "faux" posters we have ever seen! Because it comes in its own specially created tube, it will need to be sent separate from other purchases, by itself (and we will put the entire tube inside of a larger tube). Condition: very good to fine. One of the tube ends has some wear and surface paper loss. The tube and the poster inside are otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades ![]()
