YEAR: 1979
FILM STUDIO: Walt Disney Productions / Buena Vista Distribution
DIRECTOR: Gary Nelson
CAST: Maximilian Schell, Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux, Ernest Borgnine
TAGLINE: “A journey that begins where everything ends”
GENRE: Science Fiction / Adventure
POSTER PRINTER: M.A.P.S. Litho Pty. Ltd.
ARTWORK: John Berkey — the film’s major theatrical campaign artwork is associated with Berkey’s distinctive painted science-fiction style.
POSTER DESIGN FEATURES:
Original Australian Daybill with a striking late-1970s science-fiction design built around a swirling black-hole vortex, glowing spacecraft and a green grid-like perspective field. The large The Black Hole title curves dramatically through the centre of the composition, creating a strong sense of motion and depth. Portraits of the principal cast run along the lower section, above the production credits and Disney distribution details. The supplied poster clearly carries the M.A.P.S. Litho Pty. Ltd. printer credit at lower right.
COLLECTOR’S NOTES:
The Black Hole was one of Disney’s most ambitious live-action science-fiction productions of the 1970s and marked a darker, more mature direction for the studio. The film is notable for its large-scale miniature effects, elaborate spacecraft design and the menacing robot Maximilian, which has become one of the movie’s most recognisable elements.
The production also has strong music interest, with a score by John Barry, adding crossover appeal for soundtrack and film-music collectors. For poster collectors, the swirling space imagery and distinctive graphic treatment make this Australian Daybill especially representative of late-1970s science-fiction design.
PROVENANCE:
This original Australian cinema poster is being sold directly by the family of its original collector, a projectionist who screened films during their Australian theatrical release. It is supplied with documented provenance and a Certificate of Authenticity confirming its originality and collection history, providing a direct connection between the poster and its working Australian cinema past.
