'Tron' Original Vintage Movie Poster, French, 1982

About the Item

A vibrant French Petite poster for Walt Disney's pioneering 1982 sci-fi adventure 'Tron.' Written and directed by Steven Lisberger, the futuristic film starred Jeff Bridges as a computer programmer who is transported into the virtual world of a malevolent mainframe computer and enlists the help of security programme Tron in his attempt to escape. A groundbreaking and hugely influential production with a worldwide cult following, 'Tron' was one of the earliest films to use extensive computer-generated imagery (CGI) and combined live-action elements with both backlit and computer animation. Disney/Pixar's John Lasseter has described how 'Tron' inspired him to see the potential in CGI special effects, acknowledging that "without Tron, there would be no Toy Story." Printed in France by Ets. St Martin, Asnieres. Conservation backed on linen. Backing and light color touching have smoothed and diminished one horizontal machine fold. Slight darkening to edges. Image and colors excellent.

'Mad Max' Original Vintage Movie Poster by Tom Beauvais, Belgian, 1982
By Tom Beauvais
Located in Devon, GB
Making a bold visual statement with a clean and straightforward design, this small-format poster for the first Belgian release of George Miller's groundbreaking 1979 pre-apocalyptic action thriller 'Mad Max' utilises the same superb Tom Beauvais artwork created for the British campaign posters, which draws us in as we look down the twin-barrels of a shotgun. As noted by Sim Brannaghan in his 2006 book on 'British Film Posters,' the Beauvais design strips "the film down to its basic elements of cop, the car & the road". Set in a bleak dystopian near-future Australia veering towards societal collapse due to critical petrol shortages, the influential film starred a little-known Mel Gibson in the titular role as a police officer turned vigilante when his family are murdered by a sadistic biker gang. Essentially a revenge western meets apocalyptic road movie, the film's sparse dialogue made way for a kinetic combination of visceral action sequences, chaotic car chases and an other-worldly visual style, hinting at the barren wastelands we would see in later films. Shot on a shoestring budget of $400,000 Australian dollars...

'Taxi Driver' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Australian, 1976
By Guy Peelleart
Located in Devon, GB
Set amidst the moral decay of New York City following the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal, Martin Scorsese's 1976 psychological thriller "Taxi Driver" starred Robert De Niro as a lonely and disturbed anti-hero cab driver and war vet growing increasingly alienated and unhinged as his dreams of cleaning up the corrupt and sleazy city lead him down a path of violence, plotting to assassinate both a presidential candidate and the pimp of an underage prostitute, played by a 12 year old Jodie Foster. Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, it was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro and Best Supporting Actor for Foster. De Niro's "You talkin' to me?" scene, where he imagines a confrontation in front of a mirror, gave us one of the most iconic quotes in movie history. This Australian Daybill poster features the same atmospheric Guy Peellaert...
