UpcomingDARK KNIGHT, THE (2008)/DARK KNIGHT RISES, THE (2012)
Estimate £450,000 - £900,000
Batman’s (Christian Bale) Screen-Matched Light-Up Hero Batpod
Instantly recognisable and synonymous with Christopher Nolan's era-defining reinvention of the Caped Crusader, Batman's screen-matched hero Batpod is the centrepiece of the sale. Appearing in both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, Batman's two-wheeled vehicle offered Christian Bale's Batman a nimbler alternative to the Tumblr, and was built practically for the film. Not only is it a cinematic icon, it's also a marvel of modern movie engineering.
UpcomingINDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984)/INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989)
Estimate £400,000 - £800,000
Indiana Jones’ Screen-Matched Fedora and Shirt Worn by Vic Armstrong
From the personal collection of 'The World's Greatest Stuntman' Vic Armstrong, few costumes are as iconic as Indiana Jones' fedora and shirt from Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. The screen-matched combo offers an indelible link to one of cinema's greatest action heroes and the practical stuntwork that defined the action franchise.
UpcomingINDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984)
Estimate £200,000 - £400,000
Indiana Jones’ (Harrison Ford) Eight-Foot Bullwhip
Indiana Jones' silhouette would not be complete without his bullwhip, and this is one of the finest examples to ever come to auction. It was used by Harrison Ford's swashbuckling archaeologist in 1984's Temple of Doom, and its snap and coil are instantly recognisable to audiences around the world, making it one of the most enduring and evocative props in modern film history. Created by master whip maker David Morgan, this rare eight-foot version belongs in a museum.
UpcomingSUPERMAN III (1983)
Estimate £130,000 - £260,000
Evil Superman’s (Christopher Reeve) Screen- and Photo-Matched Costume on Custom Mannequin
Representing something from the dark side is Christopher Reeve's "Evil Superman" suit from Richard Lester's Superman III. After being corrupted by Kryptonite, Superman broke bad, straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa, getting drunk in a bar, and fighting a weakened Clark Kent in a junkyard. This muted version of Reeves' costume has been screen- and photo-matched to scenes filmed in Calgary, Alberta. Now 40 years old, this suit is an unforgettable link to the OG of superheroes.
UpcomingBATMAN BEGINS (2005)
Estimate £125,000 - £250,000
Batman’s (Christian Bale) Complete Batsuit
Tear resistant, bulletproof, perfect for spelunking. In Christopher Nolan's origin story, Batman Begins, Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne enlists Lucius Fox from Wayne Enterprises' Applied Science Division to help him put together the ultimate crime-fighting ensemble. While it remains rooted in fantasy, Batman Begins' batsuit was the first step towards a more tactical, practical approach to his iconic costume.
UpcomingCONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982)
Estimate £75,000 - £150,000
Conan’s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) Atlantean Sword
The 1980s were an incredible time for movies and nothing exemplifies that era more than Conan the Barbarian's Atlantean sword. Original resin swords from the film that put Arnold Schwarzenegger on the map are extremely scarce, and only a handful are known to have survived to this day, making this a rare opportunity to own one of the most iconic swords in cinema history.
UpcomingV FOR VENDETTA (2005)
Estimate £75,000 - £150,000
V’s (Hugo Weaving) Screen-matched Hero Costume and Mask with Set of Six Knives
Remember, remember V for Vendetta. This full hero costume, worn by Hugo Weaving in James McTeigue's dystopian vision of the future, makes for an imposing centrepiece in any room. Original author Alan Moore and author David Lloyd took inspiration from Guy Fawkes to create the mask worn by the anarchist revolutionary, which has become a symbol for rebellion in its own right.
UpcomingGAME OF THRONES (T.V. SERIES, 2011 - 2019)
Estimate £50,000 - £100,000
Jon Snow’s (Kit Harington) Hero Longclaw
Carried by Kit Harington's Jon Snow throughout all eight seasons of HBO's Game of Thrones, the "bastard sword" became a symbol of leadership, loyalty and survival, after being to Snow by Lord Jeor Mormont in the first season. As the most awarded drama series in Emmy history, Game of Thrones transcended its fantasy roots to become one of the most important TV shows of a generation. This sword has seen some action.
UpcomingGAME OF THRONES (T.V. SERIES, 2011 - 2019)
Estimate £20,000 - £40,000
Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) Drogon Dragon Egg
The award-winning TV series Game of Thrones is synonymous with dragons - giant, fire-breathing dragons - and this egg from the debut season led to the appearance of the first dragons on the show. Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) was given three for her wedding to Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) and this red one hatched to be Drogon, the most fearsome dragon in Westeros. As a symbol of a show that exploded to become the biggest thing on TV, this takes some beating.
UpcomingWHO'S THAT GIRL (1987)
Estimate £15,000 - £30,000
The Deborah Scott Collection: Nikki Finn’s (Madonna) Costume with Screen-Matched Skirt
For a lot that transcends cinema, look no further than Madonna's Who's That Girl costume. Combining a leather jacket with red skirts, fishnet tights and fingerless gloves, the costume translated the singer's style onto the big screen, which was completed by Madonna's platinum blonde hairstyle. Still touring and topping the charts, this lot harks back to the early years of Madonna and is as unique as the Queen of Pop herself.
