Wilding One Sheet (27" x 41"); Starchild Style ;
Very Fine on Linen
MGM, 1968

This beautiful poster has been professionally linen-backed to address minor wear from rolling, a chip in the lower border, and wear on the left border. The borders have been airbrushed.

When MGM decided to re-launch the 70mm prints of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" in New York theaters, the studio opted to revamp the advertising campaign as well. The film had been in continuous release since April 1968, and, due to the expense of production, the studio felt it was time to refresh the ads. The two new posters created for the campaign targeted younger audiences who flocked to see the film's surreal ending. The tagline "The Ultimate Trip" was prominently featured, and the posters were distributed as part of a wilding campaign throughout New York City. Since they were not distributed by National Screen Service, no such information was printed on the posters. As a result, most of these posters were glued to walls around the city for the campaign and were subsequently destroyed.
