An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Teaser One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Alien, the classic 1979 Ridley Scott English/U.S. science fiction (sci-fi) space monster horror action thriller ("In space no one can hear you scream."; "a word of warning..."; "Story by Dan O'Bannon & Ronald Shusett") starring Tom Skerritt (as Dallas), Sigourney Weaver (as Ripley), Veronica Cartwright (as Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (as Brett), John Hurt (as Kane), Ian Holm (as Ash), Yaphet Kotto ("as Parker"), and Bolaji Badejo (in the title role as the Alien). Note that fantasy artist H.R. Giger did the wonderful art that was used to create the alien and the alien planet, but his art was not used on any of the regular posters, only on special prints created after the movie became a hit! 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 teaser one-sheet (note the "ONE SHEET 'ALIEN' TEASER" at bottom right and "COMING FROM TWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX" at bottom center). It is far more rare than the "regular" one-sheet (we have auctioned many times more regular one-sheets as teaser one-sheets), and it has a completely different image (and the image on the regular one-sheet was also used on almost all other U.S. posters, which makes this poster with a completely different image stand out all the more)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold, with tiny creases scattered in parts of the vertical fold and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It had a few creases in the bottom right, slightly entering the credits. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
