The Sacrifice Engineer's (Daniel James) DNA device and ceremonial bowls from Ridley Scott's sci-fi prequel Prometheus. These come from the personal collection of the film's set decorator Sonja Klaus. The Engineer opened its large metal container at the beginning of the film and drank from the bowl inside. The liquid caused its body to dissolve as it fell into water, its DNA unravelling and reconstituting to bring new life to the dead world. The lot consists of a large, hand spun metal container with a lid, and two smaller resin bowls. The metal lid is adorned with textured, raised, alien markings. The markings cover approximately two-thirds of the lid. The resin bowls, the larger of which sits inside the metal container, both feature green circles of card so visual effects could be laid on top. The metal container is one of two made for filming (this being a larger scale version) and was designed by set decorator Sonja Klaus and concept artist Paul Catling. The two resin bowls are slightly different sizes. The larger one was designed for the close-up shots of the bowl in the container, and the smaller one for shots of it in the Engineer's hand, to make the hand appear larger. The pieces have very minor wear from production use. Dimensions (metal container): 23.5 cm x 23.5 cm x 9 cm (9 1/4" x 9 1/4" x 3 1/2"); (large bowl): 10.5 cm x 10.5 cm x 5.5 cm (4" x 4" x 2 1/4"); (small bowl): 7 cm x 7 cm x 4 cm (2 3/4" x 2 3/4" x 1 1/2")£3000-5000 M

A model miniature DeLorean time machine from the Back To The Future Special Effects Stage, part of Universal Studios Hollywood's The World of CineMagic attraction, which ran from 1991 to 2001. The model DeLorean was used to demonstrate how detailed model miniatures were utilised to achieve shots of the car flying. It was constructed using the same patterns as the larger-scale DeLorean miniatures created for Back to the Future: The Ride. The model time machine is made of resin, aluminium, and plastic and includes key details such as the miniature "Mr. Fusion" energy reactor, the rear vents, and a mass of intricate tubes and wiring, all of which ensured the miniature looked convincingly realistic, as compared with its full-size counterpart. The model DeLorean has a mounting collar for a large-diameter tube, which allowed for it to be moved by a model mover during the show. The model is mounted to a custom-made display base with a momentary electrical switch to run its remaining lighting elements, including some of the tail lights, vents, and wheels. The model is missing some minor elements, such as the driver's-side mirror, a few pieces of trim, and one wheel light, and exhibits other various signs of wear from age and storage. Dimensions: 77 cm x 52.25 cm x 51 cm (30 1/4" x 20 1/2" x 20")£10000-15000 Ω *Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide

A Black Pearl model stern from Gore Verbinski's action-adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl. Built by the ILM model shop, the stern was once part of a full-ship model used for wide shots in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. A new Black Pearl model was built for the second Pirates film, Dead Man's Chest, which incorporated some of the detail elements from this original first-film model, and the original first-film model was subsequently cut in half for use in upside-down water-tank effects work for the third Pirates film, At World's End. This highly detailed large-scale model stern is made of wood and resin. The ship features much of its original detailing, including the tiles, the centre lantern, and the port-side detail. The model was restored after production by some of the original model makers. The Poseidon and whale figures are cast from the original moulds, the side lanterns are recreated from original production components, and the deck, skylight, and starboard shelf are reproductions made from the original blueprints. The model was repainted during the restoration, and the lanterns and clear-plastic windows (on the stern and sides, and the skylight) all light up. This substantial piece rests on a wheeled black stand with an attached power box. The model exhibits some wear, including minor paint scuffing. Dimensions: 152.5 cm x 139.75 cm x 170.25 cm (60" x 55" x 67")£6000-8000 US *Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide
A Bluesmobile large-scale model miniature from John Landis' musical comedy The Blues Brothers. Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) and his brother Jake (John Belushi) escaped the Illinois Nazis in an elaborate car chase that ended with the Bluesmobile flying through the air, flipping upside-down and backwards, up and over the pursuing vehicle. This model miniature features a fibreglass body over a wood-and-metal frame, with four hard foam tyres painted black, a clear plastic windshield, a small side spotlight, and a metal push bumper. The undercarriage of the model is highly detailed as it is seen prominently in the shot. The body of the car is painted to match its full-scale film counterpart, a black-and-white decommissionedpolice cruiser, with a faded star emblem and "P1" label. The Bluesmobile model exhibits some intentional dents, weathering, and painted-on rust effects, as well as general wear from aging, including paint chipping and fading, and scuffing to the foam elements. The wheels, while included in the lot, are not secured to the axles but can be placed on them for display. Dimensions: 193.25 cm x 71.25 cm x 48.26 cm (76" x 28" x 19")£15000-25000 US
A full-size warrior bug from the production of Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi satire Starship Troopers. After Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) joined the war between humans and the alien Arachnids, the most common species he encountered in battle was the Warrior Bug, the primary soldier of the alien army.This full-size Arachnid Warrior Bug was designed and fabricated by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI), and originally used as a live-action reference for the production to indicate the scale of the Bug.It consists of a large thorax-and-abdomen piece constructed from fibreglass with a welded steel internal frame armature and stand for support. Also included are four legs and two claws, which are removable and attach to the body with steel insets. Each appendage features a metal protrusion which can be inserted into notches in the main body using a marked lettering system. Affixed to the front of the main piece are a pair of separate fibreglass mandible sections, a pair of black resin eyes, and a pair of resin pincer claws which make up the bug's €ËÅ“face'. All fibreglass pieces are hand-painted a combination of black, yellow and red.While the thorax-and-abdomen piece were rebuilt by ADI from original molds in 2013, the appendages are from the original production. The Bug features signs of production wear, including a loose pair of fibreglass tail fins, an exposed steel rod and large crack in one leg, exposed steel at the joints connecting two of the segments on another leg, a loose pincer claw and some paint chipping and cracking throughout all the elements.
