This is a teaser (advance) poster for the 1976 remake of the original 1933 King Kong movie. An advance poster is a “coming soon” poster and does not show film credits. Starring Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges, it was Jessica Lange’s first movie role! The artist is John Berkey.
This style of illustration looks like a painting with visible brush marks. Once the theatrical run started the helicopters in this version were replaced with fighter jets, and the exploding jet in his hand was no longer exploding. And of course, then the film credits were added to the poster.
Also of note, King Kong is standing on the tops of the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
Measures 27x41 inches (69x104 cm) and is deacidified and linenbacked with fold lines restored.
