My girlfriend came home with this beauty today.
It was being taken down from inside a tube station & she was in the right place at the right time.The guy taking it down was surprised she wanted a big picture of a monkey holding a camcorder!!
Happy days. It is huge 60 x 40 1nches. It has the 13 mental age classification on it.

people still saving up for the framing cost.

wow Brut, you have a good girlfriend there! I have some great art to swap for her?

[brut]

Send me through your trades jopkop & i think this would cost a small fortune to frame.

My framer's really slow, four weeks and counting now! But I had a plan, because he doesn't take full payment up front it meant I could get the poster safe at the framers and slowly raise the cash over the eons it takes him to sort it

Aaand just to keep the thread going Wooster Collective just announced this:

'It's official.

It was announced this morning that Banksy's first film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, will hit theaters in the United States beginning on Friday, April 16th in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Dates for additional cities across the country - including Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and Atlanta - will be announced soon.

Over the weekend Banksy also released the official "one sheet" poster for the film. New Yorkers and street art fans will recognize the building in the image (and the street art and tags) as the iconic old bank building at Spring and Bowery in Soho.'

There's a pic on their email, the background image is the same one used on the poster at the Lambeth Palace but with additional quotes and credits.

I imagine they won't be producing any new reels, so I suppose it will be leaving UK cinemas for a while!

Also, surely they could have kept the font standardised across the poster!

Love it

Where did Banksy "release" this new poster? What does that mean?

Doesn't look like a Banksy design (apart from the image). The choice of fonts, layout, etc

For the US cinematic release

Having looked at it a couple of times I'm not entirely convinced this will be the final composition... it looks a bit too much like a low resolution comp. from that pic to me. Background image and type are very jpg'd and the credits would be mini on a 27"x40" 1-sheet.

Sorry couldn't help but speculate!

I got that.
But when they say "Banksy released the poster over the weekend", what do they mean? Where? Was this in a press release?

[Agent Provocateur]

I think we have a winner for the US film poster...

[Cocteau 101]

If anyone wangles this in the US can they try and bag me one - it's a little classic.

[Agent Provocateur]

Agree with you there cocteau... would even go as far to say a better design than the UK quad!?

[taz]

love it!!

[They call me Stephen]

i think that is my favourite film poster so far for exit through the gift shop being much superior to the uk variants in my opinion

[dogzero]

Liking that a lot more than the UK poster. Would love to get hold of one.

[freeelander]

I purchased my tickets for the last showing here in Hollywood(on the 16th) just a about an hour ago. I'm gonna get there early to walk around and see if i can't find any laying/hanging around.

Hey guys,

Got me a mint Banksy film poster of this size:

www.clearchannel.com.sg/content.aspx?ID=17&ParentID=3&MicrositeID=0&Page=1

Any idea on value?

Thanks

Taz

[jusdeep]

I would imagine it's more a case of who has the £800+ to frame the beast and the wall space to hang it.

[taz]

lol!

[stevieray101]

i think there are a couple on ebay at the moment, check it out to get an idea.

n.b. the bay isn't the be all and end all of pricing!

[fallenangel1]

Do you have a picture of the artwork used?

[hucklee]
