If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has completely different art from the commonly seen poster (the one with Richard Amsel artwork). Yet it has a ratings box, indicating it was intended for U.S. release. We have previously auctioned only four examples of this poster (between 2004 and 2016, and the last one sold for $2,700), and in that time, we have auctioned a very large number of the "regular" one-sheets. We originally thought that it may have been some sort of a special poster that was printed in very limited quantities, but then not distributed to theaters (and surviving examples were obtained from employees of the studio or from people connected with the movie). However, we were contacted by a theater employee who acquired one of these posters from the theater where he was working. So we are not certain why, but this is certainly a rare poster! Condition: good to very good. The poster has some partial light extra creases next to part of the vertical fold, surely caused when it was folded. It has tiny surface paper loss in the center of the bottom fold and a smaller amount in the center of the top fold. It has creases in the top of the right border and small paper loss and a tear in the right of the bottom blank border. There was tiny separation at the bottom of the vertical fold in the bottom blank border and a 1" tear in the left of the bottom blank border. Someone put small tape on the back of those two areas and on the back of the tear by the small paper loss in the right border. The poster can absolutely be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one might choose to have it restored. Either way, the new owner will have an extremely rare and desirable poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
