Vice Press is teaming up with Bottleneck Gallery to release a brand new 3D Lenticular Edition of Drew Struzan’s iconic movie poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing! As Vice Press explained, “Well known to John Carpenter and cinema fans alike, Drew’s iconic imagery for The Thing comes to life in these amazing lenticular prints. We’ve worked closely with the original source images to ensure that the art is replicated to the highest quality”.
There are two styles of 3D Lenticular Movie Posters being produced by Vice Press and Bottleneck Gallery: a thinner (1mm), flexible PET lenticular print mounted on dense paper backing. This option is more flexible, lighter, and thinner. Then there’s a thick lenticular print (4mm), akin to plexi-glass, called polystyrene. BNG calls this one Lenticular Plex for ease of differentiation. This option looks and feels like a sheet of plexiglass but with a lenticular lens. As with all lenticular prints, they are best viewed from about 4 to 6 feet away from the subject. This allows the lens to do what it does best and gives the best 3D effect.
The Thing by Drew Struzan is a 24”x36” hand numbered 3D Lenticular Print and will be available in a Movie Poster Edition and an Art Print Edition. Each version will be available in the 3D Lenticular and the 3D Lenticular Plex. The 1mm 3D Lenticular of each edition will be limited to 300 pieces and retail for £75, while the 4mm 3D Lenticular of each edition will be limited to 150 pieces and retail for £150. All four posters will go on sale at 12pm EST on Thursday, February 25th, at Vice-Press.com.
