A guaranteed original Italian Locandina movie poster for Jun Fukuda's 1977 Japanese sci-fi "The War In Space", also known as "Cosmos 2000: Planet Without A Name", "Battle In Outer Space II", "Great Planet War" and "War Of The Planets" and released in Italian as "Guerra Spaziale".
Produced off the back of the phenomenal success of Star Wars, "The War In Space" is based upon a previous underwater film by the same studios entitled "Atragon" and the ground breaking 1974 anime series "Space Battleship Yamato".
This wonderful poster has fantastic interplanetary artwork. (If you know who the artist is, please do let us know.) It was originally issued folded but has lain flat for some time and so will be shipped rolled. It is in superb condition and (as our photos show) will display incredibly well.
We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.
Note: This poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Posters from the late twentieth century include some of the most recognisable cinema artwork ever produced, reflecting the changing styles of film marketing during this period. Designed for display in cinema foyers, these posters combine strong visual impact with enduring appeal for collectors. Presented in the Italian Locandina format, a tall and elegant poster size traditionally used for cinema displays in Italy. Locandina posters are especially admired for their distinctive proportions and often striking artwork.
This poster has not been linen-backed and remains in its original paper state, as issued for cinema use.
Original Poster Buying Guide
Authenticity & Original Posters
Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.
Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.
Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.
Condition & Age
Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.
Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.
Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.
Poster Formats & Dimensions
Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.
Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.
These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.
Framing Options
Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.
Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.
Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.
Packaging & Delivery
Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.
Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.
Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
