APOCALYPSE NOW 1979 And 2000 Movie Program Pressbooks
RARE VINTAGE PROGRAMS IN AWSOME CONDITION (See Scans!)
The original 1979 70mm exclusive theatrical release ended with Willard's boat, the stone statue, then fade to black with no credits, This mirrors the lack of any opening titles and supposedly stems from Coppola's original intention to "tour" the film as one would a play: the credits would appear on printed programs provided before the screening began This was done at only 3 theaters in the world! one in New York City one in Toronto and one in Hollywood.
If you were not there during these rare exclusive engagements then you could not get these movie program pressbooks!
When the film opened nationwide the credits were put into the film at the end of the movie.
Coppola repeated this rare instance again 21 years later with the first limited engagement of the Redux once again if you were not there you could not get the redux program either these were not available when the film went to nationwide release.
I Have Seen These Valued At Well Over $100.00 For The Pair In This Type Of condition. Happy Bidding!
Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic war film set during the Vietnam War. The plot revolves around two US Armyspecial operationsofficers, one of whom, CaptainBenjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen) of MACV-SOG, is sent into the jungle to assassinate the other, the rogue and presumably insane Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) of Special Forces. The film was produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script by Coppola and John Milius. The script is based on Joseph Conrad's novellaHeart of Darkness, and also draws elements from Michael Herr'sDispatches, the film version of Conrad's Lord Jim (which shares the same character of Marlow with Heart of Darkness), and Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972).
The film became notorious in the entertainment press due to its lengthy and troubled production, as documented in Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. Marlon Brando showed up to the set overweight and Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack. The production was also beset by extreme weather that destroyed several expensive sets. In addition, the release date of the film was delayed several times as Coppola struggled to come up with an ending and to edit the millions of feet of footage that he had shot.
The film won the Cannes Palme d'Or and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
