Date Sold 7/21/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Twenty-Four-Sheet Movie Poster (24sh; measures 109 1/2" x 220 1/4" [278 x 559 cm]) (Learn More) Jaws 2, the 1978 Jeannot Szwarc man-eating Great White shark attack horror sequel ("...May be too Intense for younger children"; "All New"; "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."; "Written by Carl Gottlieb and Howard Sackler"; "Based on characters created by Peter Benchley") starring Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Joseph Mascolo, Jeffrey Kramer, Collin Wilcox Paxton, and Cindy Grover (as the girl swimmer in the close encounter with the shark). Note that Steven Spielberg, who had directed the original Jaws, did not return to direct this sequel, and he later stated that it was because of the horrendous problems they had in filming the first movie (particularly in making the mechanical shark, Bruce, work), and he was afraid to possibly repeat that experience! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jack Leynnwood Important Added Info: Note that we have of course seen the teaser one-sheet for this movie many times, with this classic image, but until 2009, we had no idea that there were ANY larger posters with the same image, until we were consigned another example of this poster! It was printed in Italy and has the CIC logo, but we believe it to surely be a U.S. 24-sheet, because it would not have had an English language tagline if it had been intended for use in any country that did not speak English, and it was certainly only distributed in English speaking countries outside the U.S. (and possibly also within the U.S.). Also note that this 24-sheet was printed in 12 sections, and measures approximately 10 feet by 12 feet! Wouldn't it look incredible on the wall of some place where people gather, possibly a swimming pool! This is only the second example of this poster we have ever auctioned. The first example was in 2009, and that one had been folded an incredible amount of times, resulting in a huge number of folds throughout the poster, and this poster has a far lesser number of folds (although there are still quite a few, of course). But after a simple linenbacking (or even just tacked on the wall), it would look fantastic! Condition: very good. The poster has some minor wear, but overall has likely survived in about as nice condition as one could hope to find this poster in (and as mentioned above, it is in much better condition than the only other example of this poster we auctioned!).
