Japanese B2 cinema poster for the July 1986 re-release of Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, featuring artwork based on John Alvin’s original illustration.
Description from the seller
A single point of light marks the touch between Elliott’s finger and E.T.’s, high above the blue curve of the Earth. For the Japanese summer re-release, John Alvin’s familiar image was paired with a turquoise inscription inviting audiences to remember “the warmth of love and tears.”
Steven Spielberg’s film first reached Japanese cinemas in 1982. This poster was issued for its return to Japanese screens in July 1986. The white lettering beneath the Earth echoes the summer invitation with a promise that all of Japan would be moved once again.
