Original Italian locandina (cinema foyer poster) for ‘2002: La Seconda Odissea’ — the Italian release title for ‘Silent Running’ (1972), directed by Douglas Trumbull, released in Italy in 1976 (Prima Edizione Italiana MCMLXXVI). The poster features striking painted space artwork depicting the Valley Forge spacecraft passing a large red planet, with a second planet and starburst in the upper right corner — a vivid, classically rendered sci-fi composition typical of Italian cinema illustration of the era. Credits list Bruce Dern in the lead role alongside Cliff Potts, Ron Rifkin, and Jesse Vint. Music is noted as composed and directed by Peter Schickele, with original songs performed by Joan Baez — prominently highlighted at the top. The screenplay is credited to Deric Washburn, Mike Cimino, and Steve Bochco. The poster prominently notes Trumbull’s Academy Award for Special Effects on ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ as a selling point. Presented in Stereofonica via Futursound. Produced by Michael Gruskoff and Douglas Trumbull in Technicolor. A rare and collectible piece for fans of classic science fiction cinema, Italian film ephemera, and Douglas Trumbull’s directorial debut.
