Apocalypse Now (1979)
Original US Time Magazine cover film prop
Unframed: 11 x 9 in. (28 x 23 cm)

This prop was created for the scene where Martin Sheen is in a bamboo cage reading Life magazine. This prop was sold in the 90s after Zoetrope Studios closed.

Exceptionally rare original prop.

This American epic war film was directed, produced and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, and stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen and Dennis Hopper. The documentary, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, chronicles how Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now was difficult to make, owing to the extraordinary script, shooting, budget, and casting problems, and almost destroyed the life and career of Coppola. Brando arrived on the set overweight and unfamiliar with his lines. Sheen unfortunately suffered a heart attack during filming. Even though the making of this film was plagued with many problems, the finished film is considered a masterpiece.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright.
