An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 30" x 42" [76 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Twilight Zone: The Movie, the 1983 Steven Spielberg, John Landis, Joe Dante, & George Miller science fiction (sci-fi) thriller compilation ("'You're travelling through another dimension. A dimension, not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone.' Rod Serling"; note that three of the segments were written by Richard Matheson or based on his work) starring Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, Scatman Crothers, John Lithgow, Vic Morrow (in his final movie role; he and two child actors were fatally injured in a helicopter accident on the set of the movie during filming), Kathleen Quinlan, John Larroquette, Kevin McCarthy, and Burgess Meredith (as the narrator). Note that this movie was a tribute to the classic 1960s TV series created by Rod Serling, with re-makes of classic episodes by four noted directors! Also note that director John Landis broke several child labor laws during his segment, which no doubt contributed to the deaths of the two child actors who were with Morrow during the fatal Vietnam scene. He was later found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Steven Spielberg ended his friendship with Landis over the incident. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: John Alvin Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 41"). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this one-sheet measures 30" x 42" [76 x 107 cm]. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
