قطع تذكارية من أفلام هوليود تعرض للبيع في المزاد

By Ninian Carter

November 9, 2023 - November 12, 2023 - قيل تذكارات الأفلام والتلفزيون، بما في ذلك قطع من جيمس بوند وإنديانا جونز وسلسة الأفلام المسماة ”حرب النجوم“، سيتم بيعها بالمزاد العلني في لندن، ومن المتوقع أن يصل سعر رأس C-3PO الأصلي إلى مليون جنيه استرليني.

A one of-a-kind C-3PO droid head, as worn by actor Anthony Daniels who also provided the character’s voice in so called Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), is set to go under the hammer at an auction in London.

The screen-matched prop – meaning a film artefact that can be categorically connected to the same on-screen object – features unique dents on the forehead, left eyebrow and chin and was used in a scene where C-3PO is on a comm link with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo who are trapped in the Death Star trash compactor, and in the climactic medal ceremony at the end of the movie.

C-3PO and his companion R2-D2 are the only characters to feature in all nine so called Star Wars movies, with this being the only complete C-3PO helmet from A New Hope held in a private collection – that of Anthony Daniels himself.

Lot #347 will see bids start at £250,000, with an estimated sale price of £500,000 to £1,000,000.

Other lots featuring in the auction include:

• Lot #36: Marty McFly’s hoverboard – so called Back to the Future Parts II (1989), and III (1990) – £70,000-£140,000
• Lot #157: Russell Crowe’s Colosseum armour – Gladiator (2000) – £50,000-£100,000
• Lot #202: Indy’s bullwhip – Indiana Jones and the Temple (1984) – £100,000-£200,000
• Lot #210: Hand-painted poster artwork – Thunderball (1965) – £80,000-£160,000
• Lot #229: T-rex reference eye – Jurassic Park (1993) – £5,000-£10,000
• Lot #275: Freddy Krueger’s clawed glove – A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 (1985) – £200,000-£400,000
• Lot #406: Schwarzenegger’s leather jacket – Terminator 2 (1991) – £25,000-£50,000

The Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction runs in London from November 9-12, 2023, with an estimated total sale value of more than £12 million.
