An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Teaser One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Alien, the classic 1979 Ridley Scott English/U.S. science fiction (sci-fi) space monster horror action thriller ("In space no one can hear you scream."; "a word of warning..."; "Story by Dan O'Bannon & Ronald Shusett") starring Tom Skerritt (as Dallas), Sigourney Weaver (as Ripley), Veronica Cartwright (as Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (as Brett), John Hurt (as Kane), Ian Holm (as Ash), Yaphet Kotto ("as Parker"), and Bolaji Badejo (in the title role as the Alien). Note that fantasy artist H.R. Giger did the wonderful art that was used to create the alien and the alien planet, but his art was not used on any of the regular posters, only on special prints created after the movie became a hit!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare advance one-sheet (note the "Coming from Twentieth Century-Fox" at the bottom of the poster).

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration.

The poster had a slightly diagonal horizontal crease running across the top of the letters of the title and running down into the very top of the "IEN" of "ALIEN". There were two long uneven horizontal creases 1" below the letters of the title and some creases and tears running down the center of the poster, starting at the top crossfold and ending at the bottom crossfold. There were some pinholes, creases, and small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was very carefully backed, and the restorer greatly minimized all of the above creases and tears. The only ones that are noticeable are the ones in the first of the three red space men at the center of the image.
