Vintage original 27x40 in. US double-sided one-sheet poster from the classic 2000's animated action/adventure film, MONSTERS VS. ALIENS, released in 2009 by Paramount Pictures and directed by Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon. A woman (the voice of Reese Witherspoon) transformed into a giant after she is struck by a meteorite on her wedding day becomes part of a team of monsters sent in by the U.S. government to defeat an alien mastermind trying to take over Earth. The cast includes the voices of Rainn Wilson, Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Kiefer Sutherland, Paul Rudd, Julie White, Jeffrey Tambor, and Amy Poehler.
This is the more desirable double-sided version that is rolled as originally issued in very fine condition with one pinhole in each corner. There are no tears, stains, writing, or other flaws.
Provenance: This example came directly from Paramount Pictures (see the accompanying image of the box) with posters from other Paramount films. It is a guaranteed vintage original poster printed for display at theaters and is not a reprint or reproduction.
Monsters vs. Aliens was the first computer-animated movie directly produced in a stereoscopic 3-D format, instead of being converted into 3-D after completion. The monsters shown in the movie are all references to original monsters in movies. Ginormica (Reese Witherspoon) is a reference to Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958), B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) is a reference to The Blob (1958), The Missing Link (Will Arnett) is a reference to Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), Dr. Cockroach Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie) is a reference to The Fly (1958), and Insectosaurus is a reference to Mothra from Mosura (1961). |
