Date Sold 3/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical English Promotional Movie Brochure (measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" [27 x 34 cm]; contains two 8" x 10" color prints and a supplement that has 3 pages) (Learn More) Raiders of the Lost Ark, the classic 1981 Steven Spielberg (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War II (WWII) Nazi treasure hunting romantic action adventure fantasy thriller ("Indiana Jones - the new hero from the creators of Jaws and Star Wars."; "Story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman"; "Screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Harrison Ford (as Indiana Jones), Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, John Rhys-Davies, Denholm Elliott, Alfred Molina, and Tutte Lemkow NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jim Steranko Important Added Info: Note that our consignor of this really cool promo brochure discovered four examples of it a year ago. We previously auctioned the other three examples of this REALLY cool English pre-production folder for Raiders of the Lost Ark (and they sold for $280, $260, and $130)! NOW WE ARE AUCTIONING THE FINAL EXAMPLE OF THIS WE WERE CONSIGNED! Since we never were consigned any before a year ago, we know it is quite rare, and it may be some time before we are consigned another one, unless one of the winners of these four reconsigns theirs! Note that this promo brochure was created well before the movie came out, and it has great Jim Steranko art (both on the inside of the folder and on two 8" x 10" color stills). Jim Steranko, the well known comic book artist, had been hired in 1979 to create concept artwork for this movie based on instructions from George Lucas. You can read more about that by following this link. This art was eventually used in this English promo brochure for the movie! In many ways, this folder seems like a presskit, but the folder is 10 1/2" x 13 1/2", which is much larger than regular presskit folders from this time, and the inside of the folder has a great die-cut image of Steranko's drawing of Indiana Jones, and there are two color stills which also feature Steranko art. The folder and the stills have "TM LUCASFILM, LTD (LFI) 1980", and the billing on the back of the folder says "(TENTATIVE BILLING)". There is a 3-page supplement included as well, which gives "the story" of the movie. This is certainly one of the most rare Raiders of the Lost Ark collectibles we have ever encountered! It was consigned to us by a man who obtained it from a U.S. theater owner who acquired it in 1980, and perhaps Paramount sent it to some U.S. theater owners to get them interested in the upcoming movie. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
