Theatrical release one sheet movie poster in rolled condition.
The most common and "most collectible" type of American movie poster. This is an
original movie poster and not a copy. Nearly all one sheets printed before 1985
measure a full 27"x41". Most recent one sheets are approximately 27"x40" and
always in a vertical format. Up until the early 1980's, most (not all) were
issued folded with one vertical and three horizontal creases. Some posters were
issued tri-folded, and are still used in theaters today. The standard U.S.
poster is now always issued rolled.
This movie art item is an authentic original piece - the same item
that is used in actual movie theaters. Original movie art items are valued by
collectors worldwide and can increase in value over time.
Synopsis:
A supernatural mystery that combines romance, politics and magic, The
Illusionist is the latest film from the producers of the Oscar winners Crash and
Sideways. The film stars Academy Award nominees Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti
as two men pitted against each other in a battle of wits: Norton as mysterious
stage magician Eisenheim, and Giamatti as Vienna's shrewd Chief Inspector Uhl,
with Jessica Biel sharing the screen as the beautiful Sophie von Teschen.
When word of Eisenheim's astounding illusions reaches the powerful and pragmatic
Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), the ruler attends one of the magician's
shows in order to debunk Eisenheim during the performance. But when the Prince's
intended, Sophie von Teschen, assists the magician onstage, Eisenheim and Sophie
recognize each other from their childhoods—and a dormant love affair is
rekindled. As the clandestine romance continues, Uhl is charged by Leopold to
intensify his efforts to expose Eisenheim, even while the magician gains a
devoted and vocal public following. With Uhl doggedly searching for the reasons
and the man behind the trickery, Eisenheim prepares to execute his greatest
illusion yet.
The Illusionist is written and directed by Neil Burger, and features top-notch
production values, including a haunting score by master contemporary composer
Philip Glass.
