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. Since I have only heard of two other examples of this poster, I would think it likely that it was some sort of a special poster that may have been printed in very limited quantities, but then NOT distributed to theaters, and maybe these surviving examples were obtained from employees of the studio, or from people connected with the movie. In any event, it is certainly an extremely rare poster! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It was attached to a wall with tape on the back of the corners and the middle of the borders, and there are tape stains and some surface paper loss where tape was removed, on the back of the borders, but it does not have much effect on the front. There are a few faint brown tape stains and tiny areas of surface paper loss on the front of the borders. The bottom right corner has a 1" diagonal tear and someone put a piece of masking tape on the back of that. There are some creases scattered through the poster. The above defects are truly pretty minor, and after a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, this poster will look fantastic, with very little paint restoration anywhere in the image!
