Rare Pulp Fiction and Star Wars posters to go under the hammer

Rare and alternative posters for classic films including Pulp Fiction, Star Wars and The Goonies are set to go under the hammer later this month.

More than 550 cinema posters worth more than £200,000 will go up for auction, including lots autographed by stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carrie Fisher and Alfred Hitchcock.

It will be the largest collection of alternative movie posters to be sold in the UK, and rare lots include an advertisement for Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 classic film Pulp Fiction, which was recalled by the studio due to a copyright dispute with a cigarette company and is expected to fetch up to £1,500.
