Original Abrams, J. J. Movie Posters

J.J. Abrams movie posters document the writer-director-producer who has shaped mainstream genre cinema — the writer-director-producer who has shaped mainstream American genre cinema for two decades, reinventing dormant franchises and launching new ones with a filmmaker's instinct for spectacle and an audience's instinct for what crowds will respond to.

His directorial debut, Mission: Impossible III (2006), brought tighter character focus and increased emotional stakes to that franchise's third chapter, demonstrating that Abrams understood how to balance human relationships with action spectacle. Star Trek (2009) and its sequel Into Darkness rebooted Gene Roddenberry's universe for a generation that had never encountered it, generating theatrical materials of polished blockbuster confidence — lens flares and all. Super 8 (2011), a Spielberg-produced homage to 1970s and 80s suburban adventure filmmaking, produced a teaser campaign of exceptional restraint and mystery.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) — the franchise revival that Disney entrusted to him — was the most anticipated sequel in cinema history, and its marketing campaign became a masterclass in controlled revelation: each trailer, each poster, each revealed cast image generating global news cycles. The theatrical materials from that campaign are among the most significant franchise documents of the 2010s. Original theatrical paper from the Force Awakens campaign is now increasingly difficult to find in fine unfolded condition.

Find original theatrical prints from across his feature directing career, from franchise blockbusters to the nostalgic craft of Super 8.
