Appearing alongside a complete offering of country-of-origin posters from Sean Connery\u2019s time as Bond is this UK Quad from his 1962 debut, Dr. No<\/strong>.

US One-Sheet “Bike Over The Moon” Style (27″ x 41″), 1982, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) <\/strong>

Created as an initial design for the marketing of E.T<\/strong>, Spielberg rejected the poster as he felt it gave too much of the film\u2019s climax away. Interestingly, Spielberg loved the imagery of Elliot and E.T. in the glow of the full moon so much that he chose it as the logo for his newly formed production company, Amblin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
