Auction History Result 4a002 JAWS 2 24sheet poster '78 just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water! Date Sold 2/26/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Twenty-Four-Sheet Movie Poster (24sh; measures approximately 9' x 20') (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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have of course seen the teaser one-sheet for this movie many times, with this classic image, but we had no idea that there were ANY larger posters with the same image (and this poster was printed in Italy and has the CIC logo, so it was almost certainly only distributed in countries outside the U.S.). We have never seen or heard of this wonderful poster before! Also note that this twenty-four sheet was printed in Italy for use in other English speaking countries. This 24-sheet poster was folded in a way that makes it resemble a folded six-sheet (only much larger, of course, as there are more sections). But while the length and width of the folded 24-sheet is similar to that of a folded six-sheet or three-sheet, it is somewhat larger and also has greater depth. This means that this 24-sheet needs to be sent in an oversized flat package, which will measure roughly 14" x 20" x 4", and it will cost more to send than a regular sized package. Also note that this 24-sheet was printed in 12 sections. Condition: very good. The poster was folded as many times as is humanly possible, and there are a massive number of foldlines, and additional creases throughout the poster, and it is lightly rippled in some areas (likely due to exposure to moisture). But certainly, someone could either flatten the poster piece by piece, or have it linenbacked, and it would look incredible (could you imagine seeing this poster on the wall by an indoor swimming pool?). I certainly hope the person who buys this incredible poster ends up displaying it somewhere, and that they send me a photo of it on display! Learn More about condition grades
