One Sheet Poster.The Thing 1982 Directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell. ‘The Thing’ when it was first released in the US bombed due to the success of E.T. and the competition of Bladerunner. It was not expected to do well in Australia consequently. Full colour one sheets like the one here of which only 500 – 1000 were printed by W & B Litho were released for the screening of the film in Australia. However the distributors were caught by surprise when the film took off in Australia and the film went on to screen for 3 months in cinemas – independent ones particularly. Consequently a re-issue was required to meet the demand of the screenings. This re-issue is the ‘all red’ artwork printed by M.A.P.S. The full colour First Release one sheet size above printed by W & B litho is very rare and highly collectible. Any collector that has the W & B Litho artwork daybill will want to have this rare one sheet first release companion piece.

Daybill Poster. Outland is a 1981 British science fiction thriller film written and directed by Peter Hyams and starring Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, and Frances Sternhagen. Set on Jupiter's moon Io, it has been described as a space Western and bears thematic resemblances to the 1952 film High Noon. Principal photography took place starting with the miniature models in May 1980 and with the actors beginning in June 1980. Post-production for the film was completed in February 1981.Outland was pioneering as the first motion picture to use Introvision, a variation on front projection that allows foreground, mid-ground and background elements to be combined in the camera, as opposed to using optical processes such as bluescreen matting. This enabled characters to convincingly walk around miniature sets of the mining colony. The music to Outland was composed and conducted by veteran composer Jerry Goldsmith, who had previously worked with writer/director Peter Hyams on the science fiction thriller Capricorn One (1978) and had recently provided the soundtrack to Alien. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound.

Daybill Poster.No Blade of Grass is a 1970 British-American apocalyptic science fiction film co-written, directed and produced by Cornel Wilde and starring Nigel Davenport, Jean Wallace, and John Hamill. It is an adaptation of John Christopher's novel The Death of Grass (1956) and follows the survivors of a plague that has hit London in the near future. When London is overwhelmed by food riots caused by a global famine, a man tries to lead his family to safety in Westmorland. The original cut of No Blade of Grass contained a graphic scene where a group of three biker men abduct and rape Ann Custance (played by Jean Wallace) and her 16 year old virgin daughter, Mary (played by Lynne Frederick). The intense graphic nature and sexual violence of the scene generated some mild controversy from critics who felt it was gratuitous. Compounding matters was that Lynne Frederick, who was one of the rape victims in the scene, was only 15 at the time and questions over the use of a body double remain a controversial topic to this day.
