A "Mystery Math Magician" newspaper from Gus Van Sant's Academy Award®-winning drama Good Will Hunting. MIT's student newspaper, The Tech, ran a story about a genius surreptitiously solving math problems posed by Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard). The printed story was ultimately unseen in the final cut, though Lambeau referred to it in his course.

This lot consists of a color-printed, production-made newspaper cover with the lead story headlined "Mystery Math Magician Strikes Again" dated "March 19, 1997" applied over a separate, real-world April 18, 1997 edition of The Tech. It exhibits a horizontal fold line and discoloration to the interior pages. Dimensions: 12" x 17" (30.5 cm x 43.25 cm)

Estimate: $400 - 600
