This is the hand-painted near-final poster artwork for Norman Jewison’s dystopian sci-fi classic - a film that imagined a brutal, corporate-controlled future where violence became entertainment, and Jonathan E. became the reluctant face of rebellion.
A true giant of film poster history, artist Bob Peak created some of the most iconic imagery in cinema, with credits including West Side Story, Apocalypse Now, Superman, Star Trek, and Excalibur. His bold, painterly style helped define the look of blockbuster cinema long before the digital age.
Created for the US One-Sheet campaign, this near-final artwork offers a rare glimpse into the design’s evolution. Subtle differences from the final released poster - including refinements to Jonathan E.’s face and enhanced metallic highlights on his armour - make this a fascinating snapshot of the creative process in motion.
Before the world went digital, artists like Peak painted the future by hand. Check this incredible piece of movie history now in the full #PropstoreLiveAuction, now 👉 bit.ly/springliveauction2026
