An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Double-Sided Advance Japanese "B1" Movie Poster (29x41; measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) Gangs of New York, the 2002 Martin Scorsese (nominated for Best Director Academy Award) Italian/U.S. historical New York City crime family relationship romantic epic melodrama (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; "America Was Born In The Streets."; loosely based on the 1927 book "The Gangs of New York" by Herbert Asbury; about New York City during the middle 19th century, and about Irish gangs and corrupt politicians) starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Bill "The Butcher" Cutting), Cameron Diaz, Jim Broadbent (as "Boss" Tweed), John C. Reilly, Henry Thomas, Brendan Gleeson, and Liam Neeson. Note that this was a dream project for Martin Scorsese. He wanted to film it in the late 1970s, but the epic failure of "Heaven's Gate" meant that no studio would consider it. He finally got the financing for it in 2001, and the movie was scheduled to be opened on Christmas Day 2001, but Scorsese was not done filming in time. That created a giant problem, because he wanted to move it back to Christmas Day 2002, but DiCaprio had another movie, "Catch Me If You Can", opening then, and the studios were afraid to open both movies on the same day. Ultimately, it opened on December 20, 2002, almost a full year after it had been scheduled to first open. 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 an advance Japanese B1 poster (note the "2002 Christmas" at the bottom of the poster). Also note that this is a double-sided poster. From the 1990s on, movie posters were often made in double-sided versions (for use in light boxes). If we do not note that a poster is double-sided (as this is), then it is single-sided. Note that the image on the reverse is a mirror image of the image on the front! Finally, note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall!
